And in the future, if necessary, buy additional modules. This will allow you not to clutter up the nursery, and furnish it functionally and stylishly;
- Transformation. Children's furniture with the ability to transform (for example, a sofa bed, table-stand) allows you to save space in the room. At the same time, it is desirable that such furniture can be adjusted in height. It is also important that it can be collected on both the right and left sides, which is especially important for children who write with their left hand;
