Good Questions:Modern Table and Chairs

2007-11-08-playtable.jpg

Melissa needs your help: Looking for modern children's table and chairs set. Can't find anything I like for our modern playroom. HELP!


 
 

Our first suggestion- Ikea. They have a few really affordable choices in tables and chairs for kids. Our pick is probably the Mammut.

Pottery Barn Kids carries a large selection of play tables, but they're mostly traditional in style. We do like the Carolina Square Table and Benches though. This could work in a modern room.

Design Within Reach had some really cute & very modern chairs and a round table last year. The last I saw they were on sale and are no longer on their website, but if you have a local store you may want to check it out. I picked up the chairs from ours..

I too love modern design but kids are rough on everything so I refuse to pay too much. I bought a Wild Zoo Play Table in maple and it was very reasonable and has a nice organic shape (plus my son can't tip the chairs over). I also just bought him some Offi chairs and a ToddleRock rocker and ottoman in brown chenille. They all blend in well with our teak and modern pieces without sacrificing functionality or comfort for him.

we have a solid wood table and chair set from community playthings. i liked the look of it and figured since my daughter's playgroup used this company's furniture, it was built to last!

Melissa,

I build modern mid-century style kids' furniture in my garage workshop. Check out http://modmomfurniture.etsy.com for several table and chair options at moderate prices.

If you have something in mind, I may be able to customize for you to come up with what you're not finding in the marketplace.

Thanks!

Just a minute ago I was thinking this same question... can anyone offer some feedback on this chair?

It looks durable and is on sale, but when I was previously contemplating the Lack side table (My friend uses it for her kids and its only $13) it feels pricey....
