Let’s agree that children spend a great deal of time in their bedrooms playing, sleeping, and even working on one project or another. Many children love to read, and it’s terrific to have a bookshelf with some of their favorite books.

The truth is, as parents, we are very careful when we think about wood bedroom furniture for our children. I’m going to help guide you, with some really worthwhile tips to think about.

What To Look For When Choosing Solid Wood For Your Children

Let’s look at the practical side of choosing bedroom furniture for your children. Obviously, there are numerous details to think about. This should get the creative ideas spinning.

What a great decision it is, when you strongly consider solid wood bedroom furniture sets for preteens and teens. Some oak woodparents and singles think the best solid wood is oak. Undoubtedly that’s a great choice.

However, other solids include hickory, beautiful maple, and the everlasting, real cherry wood. These are indeed solid, and wood desksturdier than most products out there like particleboard and pressed wood, etc. There’s just no comparison. Many folks like the best and this is an excellent furniture choice.

Solid wood is superior, by far, to cheap particle board which often breaks very easily. Plywood is just, well, plywood. Not the top choice. You may want something that’s substantial that will last for a long time. When you invest a tad more now for top-notch furniture, it saves you hard-earned money in the long run.

Some Basics To Consider

Is there versatility in your children’s furniture? It’s great to consider the growth of your children. Do their needs change? I’m sure you’d say yes, of course. Can’t disagree there. Solid wood furniture is very practical and is easily adapted to future needs as your children grow up.

The solid wood furniture choices you make in their earlier years can follow them into their teens. This eliminates getting rid of the old and paying again for something new, which costs you more money in the long term.

You may have heard of dovetailed construction on drawers. This is the best construction and the go-to brands usually incorporate it. That, coupled with easy glide drawers that slide on wooden supports down the middle of the drawer, makes some of the sturdiest and most well-made available.

An added bonus is having the bottom of each drawer made of wood at least one-eighth inch thick. Over time, this keeps the drawers from sagging because of too many clothes in a stuffed drawer.

Solid wood takes on wear and tear for years. It’s nearly impossible to break or fall apart. This is a major plus for children and parent(s).

Be Sure Of Safety For Your Children

It goes without saying that children’s furniture should be safe. The type of wood, (solid preferred) the way it’s designed and constructed, plays the biggest part in safety.

Exposure to harmful compounds (Volatile Organic Compounds) may cause side effects such as irritation of the throat, eyes, and nose. There have even been cases of getting nausea, perhaps headaches, and yes, bouts with dizziness.

To eliminate these compounds that cause side effects, don’t choose any products made with formaldehyde. Be sure your furniture choice is organic and 100% free from VOC. Basically, this translates to no off-gassing in the air of harmful compounds.
