Bedside Table

How to choose a bedside table for your kid room with JellyBean Group?

A big kid bed, nightlight and nightstand - moving into a new room is exciting for kids, and having all the right bedroom furniture makes it even more fun. Choosing the perfect nightstand for your tyke is very different than choosing a nightstand for yourself, however. There are many things to take into consideration, such as size, safety and style. The following tips can help you find the right bedside table for your child's room.

- Durability: First and foremost, kids' furniture needs to last. The wear and tear on a nightstand in your kid's bedroom is typically much greater than the furniture in the rest of your home, making it important that you find a children's nightstand that is durable. In general, a solid wood bedside table will be the most durable, but there are plenty of other materials that will make quality additions to your kids room. Look for nightstands with sturdy hardware that won't break or wear out. 

- Size: When you're looking for a kid's nightstand, you want to look for a kid-size nightstand. The nightstand needs to be short enough that your child can reach what's on top, and it needs to blend in with the rest of the furniture in the room. Toddler beds are typically several inches shorter than other size beds, making it essential to purchase a low nightstand if you choose to have your kid sleep in a toddler bed for a while. 

- Fun and bright: You want your children to love their bedrooms, so give them kid's furniture geared to them. Bright colors and cute designs are sure to make them happy. Spruce up a girl's room with pink, purple or lime green furniture, and a boy's room with blue, red or dark green items. Pictures of flowers, trucks, animals or their favorite cartoon character will make them love it even more.
