What I found out about kid’s table and chairs is that they come in plastic and wood. There are a few metal versions out there as well. The advantage I found with metal is that the table legs normally folded up. You might think about this as I did, as my daughter’s room is small. You can easily fold the table and stack the chairs away in the closet. With these differing materials, I am not sure one lasts longer than another. With birch, the wood seems to hold up for a long time. We still have a table that we purchased 10 years ago that is painted birch and it’s rock hard and I know it probably last another 10 years without a problem. Plastics on the other hand, have a way of aging and getting brittle to the point that they will break, or fade and just not look as good as painted wood. Then of course, metal can rust and is colder. Things to think about.

The kid’s table and chairs come in almost every conceivable color, but mainly in the primary colors. You can also order differing colors of chairs than the table to give the room or place where you will be using the table and chairs and real lively look. They also come in themes for you to choose from and I thought it was great to be able to match the ongoing theme of my daughter’s room. There are animal themes, which some are like the animal kingdom, and others simply all lions, or zebras, or what have you. Other themes are pirates, princess, and naturally, all of the Disney characters, Nick Jr, and other kid’s channels. This is excellent because it really sets the room off when you have matching items. And your child will be much more accepting of the table and chairs when they see that they match the theme they already love.

One other theme that I didn’t mention and which is great for boys is sports. And you can find endless kid’s tables and chairs with this theme online and in the department stores. You will find a better selection online and have the ability to pick and choose at your will. One thing I would caution is to look for a company with a reputable website, that has 800 numbers with real people answering, and where you can possibly get free shipping. This can be a time saver because you never have to leave your home to go through the hundreds of selections, and you can immediately compare with your child’s room to see if what you are thinking about is actually a fit.

Finally, a consideration we almost went with was a kid’s table and chairs combination that looked like a school table where our daughter could come home from school and set up to do her homework. This is a great option because you’re making multi-use of the table and it really does come into its value then. Think about these ideas and choose the table and chairs that is right for your kids.
