Antique Baby Furniture

More and more baby furniture designers are trying to go with an antique look. However, you can find antique baby upholstery in places that you would never expect.

In the past couple of decades, it was expected of parents to save their baby furniture as hand-me-downs for their children offspring’s.

You should first ask your parents if they kept any of your baby furniture; if you’re lucky, you may find some old family antique baby upholstery.

If you are serious for the antique look you will also want to go to your local swap meets, flea markets, specialized antique furniture stores, auctions, and yard sales.

You can find many antique dressers and such that would be perfect for your child's room from auctions and second-hand stores.

These places are the most likely places to find antique baby furniture.

One other place that no one takes advantage of are self-storage sites, where many people abandon their stored stuff and furnishing over time, due to default forcing the self-storage manager to sell it off at a great discount.

Another possibility to find antique baby upholstery is to ask relatives or friends for leads on obtaining some antique furniture.

You can also search the classified section or place an ad for antique baby furniture.

Above all, once you bring home any antique baby furniture, you will want to make sure that it is safe to use.

You should have someone knowledgeable about woodcraft inspect and test it out thoroughly, so that you know it's safe for your child.

Likewise, make sure the antique baby furniture pieces are sturdy for your baby to climb; fix any unstable antique baby upholstery pieces.

Some people give antique doll furniture, like cribs, to their children or grandchildren as gifts.
