wicker baby furniture tips and great advice…

Wicker baby furniture is a great look for any nursery; it offers a distinctive and natural style. The wicker, with it its smooth color and simple lines will make a baby room inviting especially if made in a white loom weave.

Wicker furniture is made by weaving natural reed around a solid frame. The result is a strong beautiful design, which is cost effective compared to wooden furniture.

A common concern with baby wicker furniture is its not as strong as traditional furniture, this is not so and the added benefit is that wickers lighter, making Moses baskets a great choice for portability.

So with all that choice on the market here are some things to look out for-

Moses Baskets, baby bassinet

These are one of the most bought items today; the basket is a must for the early months and is great to transport your baby to proudly show off. No wonder as they look great due to the weave of the natural fibers.

Things to look out for – price - setting a budget is a good idea as you can easily get carried away with the plastic card.

Baby Wicker Basket

Great decorative touches for any nursery, is the wicker baskets, these can be bough for a few dollars and with a fabric liner, and these are can match any other themes you have with your baby wicker furniture. Wicker baskets are great for diaper toys etc.

Wicker changing tables

Wicker tables provide a safe, convenient and sanitary place to change your baby’s diapers. With a good range of styles to choose from you can easily create your unique style.

Apart for the design styles Wicker changing tables are commonly made with a strong wooden frame to make them sturdy and have wicker finish.

Things to look for are - The tables need to be well padded, have a safety strap, vinyl changing mat and guard rails to protect them.

A good tip is to look for ones that have removable guard rails so it can be used as a wicker chest.

Wicker gliders

A wicker glider is centerpiece in a baby’s nursery. They can be expensive so doing a bit of research go’s a long way i.e. sit in them and give a test. I recommend buying from a reputable seller as good services is a must when spending larger amounts.

Gliders are great to smoothly rocking you baby to sleep, when testing a glider the motion should be super smooth. Not to mention a good deal of padding on the cushions.

Wicker Chest

The chest offers a great alternative, as they are so unique they will be an ornament to the room; if the room is to be rearrange a lot then these are ideal, as they can be easily decorated. Like the changing table they are made with a wood frame and finished in hand woven wicker.

Things to check – Baskets with the chest should have liners and make sure they are easy to assemble. Good quality chests will a good 3 layers of paint finish. Make sure they are easy to assemble
