Placing a chest of drawers in your tyke's room can be both functional and decorative. There are things to consider, though, when choosing a storage chest or tall chest for your child's bedroom. As with any other furniture, it's important to select furniture that's not at all toxic (meaning it does not have lead paint or toxic finish) and has curved rather than sharp edges & rough surfaces. Some parents get so carried away seeing a cute character or design and overlook the safety factor.
With the safety aspect in mind, you can then go about choosing a suitable style. For your infant's nursery, you may opt for a dual function drawers (one which may serve as changing table and storage space for infant clothes, towels, diapers, and other baby paraphernalia). Secure your baby with a safety strap while changing diapers. It's a good idea to speak with someone specializing in boys' and girls' nursery furniture, and also to check out the wide assortment of safe, baby-friendly items available online.
There are beautiful four- or five-drawer dressers, single or double dressers, and tall chest of drawer built of maple hardwood durable enough to last beyond the baby years. For a young lady's room, a modern white or ivory/cream three or four-tiered chest of drawer with high gloss lacquer with feminine details like floral carvings is perfect. For a boy's room, you may want to check out matching bed and night table with three-drawer chest and toy chest with a hinged lid (to avoid the lid's banging closed on the child) offered by reputable furniture makers. A farmhouse motif collection may delight your child no end.
