Safety is the most important consideration for baby furniture; what comes in as a second most important consideration will depend on your personal preference. For instance, if cost is a factor, IKEA is a good choice while if you are looking at convertibility of the baby furniture to one suited for an older child, you would want to look at Flexa. Luxury and lifestyle stores typically retail more expensive brands and if you don’t have budget considerations, you certainly can consider these luxury baby furniture that costs over a thousand dollars!
