But parents, your home doesn’t have to look like Nickelodeon or Disney threw a kegger while you were out. You can actually find furniture (and toys) for your children, in particular table and chair sets, that are easy on the eyes, and completely suitable for kids.
These sets offer parents and caregivers peace of mind by preventing tots from potentially falling from higher perches. At the same time, they allow you to protect high-quality dining tables and upholstered chairs from the horror shows we call slime and kinetic sand. Chairs tend to stand 10 to 12 inches off the ground, making them easy for kids to manage without requiring assistance to get up or down.

If you’re shopping around for a set, consider how many chairs you need, how easy the set is to assemble and to clean, and whether you want to keep it out or store it when it’s not being used. Plus, determine whether you’re using it indoors or out, or both.
We’ve found the best table-and-chair sets for toddlers that provide them with a safe and stylish space of their own. Some are bright and colorful, while others are more understated, but all deliver on their premise.
