How to choose
Choosing and buying furniture for the youngest households is a rather difficult task. No less responsible must be approached to the choice of the table for dressing the child. When buying a design you need to pay attention to such nuances.
- The material of manufacture. Every detail from which the changing table is made should be safe for the health of the newborn.You need to choose environmentally friendly materials, non-toxic, which include wood, MDF. Wood is a more expensive raw material, but meanwhile it is more reliable than cheap MDF. You can buy a product from chipboard, but before purchasing you need to make sure of its safety (proof of which is the certificate of quality). Young parents also often opt for metal structures, as they are confident in their strength and durability.
Prices for plastic products are even lower than all previous options, but such designs are inferior in quality and reliability.
- Dimensions. Buy better design with a wide tabletop. Such a subject will be more practical and convenient, especially when the child is older. Modern products have table sizes of 60-100 cm. Optimally choose a length of 70 cm.
- Practicality. Some models have a mattress, which saves parents from finding the right size and additional financial costs. Construction material must be breathable, moisture-resistant, and also easy to use and maintain.
- Protective bumpers. The height of these elements should not be less than 5 cm.This is the optimal value to prevent the child from falling.
- Shelves. The more, the better. At such facilities, you can store personal hygiene items for the child, so the width of the shelves should be comfortable for parents so that they can put all that is necessary to care for the baby.
Product Design
Coloring and design is one of the important points in the selection of children's furniture. These criteria should be harmoniously combined with the interior of the room.
It is not necessary to buy blue models for boys and pink for girls. There are neutral colors that are suitable for each floor, also the design of the product is different.
The color of the table on a wall made of wood can be very different: from the lightest wood species (aspen, linden) to the darkest (bog oak, wenge), while the surface of the product from the visible side can have an original drawing or images of fairy-tale and animated characters .
When the table is open, such a design idea is difficult to see, but when closed, the table may resemble the real art. Plastic products can be of various colors from calm, muffled to bright,"Acidic".
You can decorate the table yourself, only you need to consider how it will be used in the future.
If the construction is needed for storing things in an adult's bedroom, it is not necessary to arrange it with children's drawings, such a design would be out of place in a house where children have already grown up.
Optional accessories
When the table is already purchased, parents will have to think about additional accessories, such as a mattress, a small blanket, disposable or reusable diapers, on which the baby will lie. Some manufacturers sell all these things in a set with a table. This is very convenient, because for the first time the parents and their child will be provided with everything necessary.
If the design provides high sides, you can purchase additional lining that will protect the child from accidental bruises.
