Why Unfinished Baby Furniture Is Recommended for the Nursery?
The arrival of a baby would fill your mind, heart and days with a number of things. You would find that the arrangements to welcome the newcomer are not child's play. Wherever you would go you would find well meaning people giving you some advice or other on how best to prepare for the baby - how to make nappies, how to furnish your nursery, how to see that you eat healthy and the list goes on. Most veteran parents would also recommend that you buy unfinished baby furniture for the nursery.
What Is Unfinished Baby Furniture?
When the furniture is finished it is treated with primers, paints, polishes and other things that give it a good finish. However, though the majority of the companies which manufacture baby furniture adhere to the strictest safety measures, there is always a slight chance that there would be some lead or formaldehyde left somewhere on the furniture which the child would "taste" while teething. Why take that chance, even if may be one in a million?
There are more advantages to buying unfinished baby furniture that preventing the risk of poisoning your baby. You can have the choice of finishing it yourself matching it to the ambiance and décor of the nursery and the rest of your home. While doing so you would know precisely what was used to treat the unfinished baby furniture besides you would get that exact tone to match the walls and the rest of the color scheme in your nursery.
You would be able to check out the quality of the wood when you purchase unfinished baby furniture because you can see its grain so you could easily identify the quality and type you are buying. For example, the wood of oak would differ from that of maple or birch - which is usually unidentifiable when you are buying the finished product. In this way, you would have the satisfaction of buying the exact thing you wanted.
Lastly, you would be benefited cost wise. The unfinished baby furniture would be much more affordable than the finished product. This is an excellent option when you are making your purchases on a tight budget. With time, you would be able to add the required finishing without having to make the payment at one time. You could span it over six months or so and complete the job without any real financial stress. Looking at the above it seems it makes a lot of sense to buy unfinished baby furniture rather than any other type for your priceless bundle of joy.
