5 of the best nursery wardrobes 2024
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR BABY’S WARDROBE
A nursery wardrobe can be quite expensive, so here are all the things to consider when buying one.
Do you want it to match your other nursery furniture? They can often be bought in a nursery set which generally includes a matching cot, wardrobe and changing table/chest of drawers but also sometimes a nursing chair and tox box.
Whether you would like drawers and shelves for storage as well as a hanging rail. There are often two half-height hanging rails in a nursery wardrobe as baby clothes are small.
The measurements. A single-door wardrobe would be better for a more compact nursery.
What it is made of. How important are sustainable materials and FSC-certified wood to you and how long would you like it to last? Look out for metal runners on drawers as this will make them smoother and more durable.
Does it come with wall fittings? Tall furniture should be fixed to the wall to prevent it from ever tipping onto a child.
Does the company offer a home assembly surface? If flat-pack furniture fills you with dread, some retailers will include it being built in your home and all the packaging removed.
