Nursery Crib Sets and Furniture for Your Nursery What You May Need

Setting up a nursery for a child who’s on the way
can be a big task, but when you accept the help you can find, it doesn’t have
to be so hard. Don’t get too lost in the details, especially when you’re just
getting started out setting everything up.

To keep things simple, here are some nursery crib sets and furniture that you might want to include in your
nursery. More specifically, here are some of the pieces of furniture that come
with crib sets, as well as others that might make your life easier as a parent.

1.The crib

The crib
is the quintessential piece of nursery furniture. Without a crib in the nursery
you might as well not even call it a nursery. More important for its actual
function than for its appeal as an icon, the crib is where your child will
sleep and spend a fair amount of his or her time.

With a crib, function and safety are more important
than anything else. For this reason, look for cribs with extensive
certification ensuring that they have not been produced or finished with
hazardous chemicals. For example, some of our cribs have attained GreenGuard
Gold Certification, which tests rigorously for 1,000s of known harmful
chemicals.

Cribs should also have a minimum of moving parts
- or none, which is even better - and have no exposed hardware. In addition,
convertible cribs are particularly valuable, as they will grow with your child.
Some even come with the conversion kits as a part of the package, enabling them
to convert to a toddler bed and eventually to a full size bed as your child
grows.

2.Dressers and changing tables

Dressers and chests of drawers, along with
changing tables, are very valuable additions that are sometimes bundled up into
nursery furniture sets. The function of a dresser is straightforward - they
contain extra space for storing essential items - of which there are many for
young parents.

When it comes to features, you should also esteem
certification to ensure that they have not been produced with harmful
chemicals, but this is not the only potentially valuable trait.

Like cribs, dressers should have as few moving
parts as possible, along with rounded corners and anti-tip features or kits.
This makes them much safer in nurseries.

As for changing tables, some dressers easily convert
to changing tables, which can save you a bit of money. It’s not an absolute
necessity for the nursery, but it will make your life a little bit easier.
Also, if you don’t have one, you will need to designate a space for changing.

3.Chests, shelves and storage

Like dressers, chests,
bookshelves, and other storage essentials will
expand your ability to keep things close at hand in the nursery. When it comes
to these pieces of furniture, the same traits are valuable here as are valuable
in cribs, dressers and changing tables.

They should have as few moving parts as possible
- or none - as well as no exposed hardware. They should have rounded corners
and anti-tip features or anti-tip kits included. If you can arrange for that,
then you’re well on your way to an organized nursery - just make sure these
items of furniture are also not finished with any known hazardous compounds.

4.Nightstands

Some nursery furniture sets also come with nightstands bundled into the package. Often
little more than just a nice additional piece, nightstands will give you
additional space for storage and present a unique opportunity to cultivate
harmony in the interior design of the room.

Again, look for nightstands that are not finished
with toxic compounds - everything on our website is safe and many items are
extensively tested and certified - as well as nightstands that have few moving
parts, no exposed hardware, rounded edges. Here as in our other furniture,
anti-tip features are a must.

If you can satisfy these requirements at minimum,
you’ll be well on your way to a beautifully and thoughtfully designed and
decorated nursery for your newborn!

In addition to these pieces of furniture, there
are supporting accents and accessories that may be contained in some nursery crib sets or furniture sets. On
top of these, you may also want to look for supporting decorative accents,
conversion kits for a crib or even a set of accessories to turn a dresser top
into a changing table. That will combine the utility of two pieces for your
nursery into one.
