What Makes Furniture Durable?

Durable kids furniture is a matter of design, construction and materials. The pieces you shop here feature strong wood construction, finishes that are easy to wipe down, knobs and drawer pulls that stay in place, plus sturdy bases for safety.

• Opt for wooden furniture that has either a naturally dark finish or that includes a white finish that you can easily clean. The ease of cleaning is a major factor in how long furniture lasts. If you care for furniture properly, it tends to last longer.
• Pieces made out of wood are known for their longevity. Wood has been prized for furniture making for centuries for exactly this reason. It lasts, even when you're rough on it.
• Explore furniture that is versatile, so that you can keep it for a long time. For instance, bunk beds or loft beds could make space for siblings in a shared bedroom or a personal study alcove underneath the bed.

Choosing Kids Furniture You'll Love

When shopping for durable kids furniture, keep in mind that you will be looking at it for a long time to come. That means your decor sensibilities matter. Choose pieces that are crafted to showcase strong lines and clean silhouettes. That way, when you update the decor in your kid's bedroom, the furniture still looks fantastic.

• If you find a piece you love, add to the look by shopping entire furniture collections that streamline your decorating process.
• Consider iconic details, like midcentury-inspired legs that angle outward from furniture or modern-rustic beds with headboards and footboards that match. A good way to decide upon these pieces is to look at the rest of your home and think about what coordinates.
• Plan for lots of decorative refreshes. When you choose durable kids furniture, you can update the look frequently as your furniture lasts to ensure you always love the room's style.

Every modern home deserves durable furniture. In your kid's room, you'll be especially glad for the longevity.
