Wooden Children’s Chairs Please: Wood is Good!

October 3rd 2007 by Dr.MOZ in Childrens Rooms, Kid Furniture

Dear Dr.MOZ,

We’re looking for a well-designed children’s chair for under $200, but all we can find is plastic. I’ve had it with the plastic stuff…doesn’t anyone make things out of wood anymore? Do you have any leads on something that will last through the “terrible twos” (and then some) that won’t break the bank?

Thanks a bunch,

Linda

Hi Linda,

I know what you mean. Plastic has it’s place, but every now and then you want to invest in a piece of children’s furniture that will be around for years to come. Here are three high-quality pieces that will go the distance!

Hide-n Sit Armchair: This cool chair by Offi Kids has a lift-up seat which offers storage for books or small toys and then easily converts to a stylish chair for you little ones when closed. (available at ModernTots for $119)

Roll-top Chair: Anything with a roll-top gets a “thumbs up” from Dr.MOZ, and if it helps organize toys… it gets a double thumbs-up. This roll-top chair is a toy box when top is open and it becomes a chair when closed. Those with big families will be happy to know that there is also a larger bench version available. (found at 2bmod.com for $175)

The Galap Rocker: Now here’s a classic rocking chair for kids that should take the abuse from any tot and keep on rocking. The Glap Rocker is made of birch wood and comes in five colors. It is created for 2-6 year-olds, but built to hold up to 250 pounds! (available at piccolini for $89)

Did you find a great wooden children’s chair for under $200 that has exceeded your expectations for quality and style? If so, share it with Linda and our other readers by clicking on the comments bubble above. Let us know where you found it, and don’t forget to include a link in your comment!

Have fun and stay healthy,

Dr.MOZ

    I’m looking for some new furniture….my kid just started walking and I’m searching for some new chairs for her. Looks like wooden last longer and are more durable.

    Wood furniture is some of the best furniture around because of the way it can take abuse. I like wood furniture for children because they can be rough with it and it will last.

    I agree that Wood is Good!

    Wooden chairs are so much better, because they are not only durable and look attractive, but they can be passed on to the next generation of little ones.

    As a mom, I definitely agree that every now and then you want to invest in a piece of children’s furniture that will be around for years to come. Wooden toys are great because they encourage our kids to use their creativity and visualization and woods are safe because they are made from non-toxic materials. These types of toys are also educational in the aspect of touch and explore, which is often considered as one of the most important aspects of child development educational programs. I’m sharing this link for parents to check out their quality wooden toys http://www.simplykidsfurniture.com/playtime-wooden-toys.html
