Dressers For KidsIf you are looking for information on dressers for kids you have come to the right place.
The first thing to remember is that children do not have the same appreciation of value as adults, so there is little point spending a lot of money on something they may not look after properly. A simple sturdy dresser will suffice as long as it can be wiped clean and is up to the knocks that kids will give it.
I would avoid pine dressers as pine is a soft wood in any knocks may cause scuffs and dents that could be clearly visible and reduce the life of the dresser.
Although you are looking for a cheap dresser for your kids there is no point skimping on the quality of the drawers. Unfortunately cheap dressers normally have ply drawer bottoms that give way after a few months of use, rendering the whole kids dressers next to useless.
Another common problem is the front of the drawer can come away from the inner so that when a child pulls the drawer open the front comes off in their hands. I would therefore recommend you buy the cheapest dresser that has tongue and groove drawers and screwed in the drawer fronts and knobs.
Don't forget to measure carefully the space available for this new dresser. It is a common problem that a lot of people do not measure the space and use guesswork instead. Also bear in mind the differance between centimeters and inches as some dressers use inches as opposed to centimeters. This obviously can have serious repercussions if you don't use the correct of measurement. If you are looking for cheap dressers for kids you will undoubtedly have to self assemble your unit for the price you are willing to pay.
Check out reviews of the products or check with the retailer to ensure that the instructions are adequate to put together the dresser correctly. Young children have a habit of drawing on everything and anything so a good idea would be to buy the dresser that has a wipe clean top. This will avoid the hassle of having to sand down the surface should your child decide to use the dresser as a coloring book. It may not be a good idea also to buy a white dresser for your child for the same reason.
Themed Dressers for Kids
I wouldn't waste money on buying a fancy cartoon themed dresser for your child because you will find that that's what they love now will become embarrassing in a matter of months to them when their tastes change. You can even consider picking up a good quality dresser at a secondhand shop if you are short of money. There is no embarrassment in doing this and it does make financial sense. Many well-off people will change their bedroom decor every two years or so and send the old units to a charity shop to sell on. You really can pick up some quality furniture at knockdown prices if you can swallow your pride.
So to recap. Do not spend more money then you need to on your kids dresser. Look for the cheapest one that has tongue and groove joints with screwed in drawer fronts and knobs. Do not invest in a cartoon themed dresser for your child. Buy a wipe clean surface to avoid having to sand down pen marks. Do not be embarrassed to shop in secondhand shops for dressers for kids. | ||
