Will a nursery chest of drawers fit in a small nursery?
Short answer: Measure the floor space first and compare it with the outer dimensions on the product page. Leave space to walk round it and open drawers and doors.
- 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.
