Where should I put a nursery chest of drawers in the nursery?
Short answer: Put the nursery chest of drawers where it does not block the route to the cot. Keep it away from windows and blind cords, and wall-fix it as the instructions say.
- Some take a changing top, which saves floor space.
- Wall-anchor them to stop tip-overs.
- Check the drawer runners and soft-close options.
What the guidance says
- Place the cot away from radiators, direct sunlight and blind cords.
