Building furniture for a child is a special pleasure for a woodworker. And because kids need safe and durable furniture sized to their needs, furniture for them presents special challenges, too.
Children’s Furniture Projects provides a mix of projects that has something for woodworkers of all skill levels. The ten projects - ranging from a fanciful rocking dinosaur to sturdy children’s beds -- are designed to help make the children’s room as well furnished as any other room in the house. Many of these projects have knockdown construction, which makes the pieces easy to store once they are outgrown. Detailed step-by-step instructions and photos explain how to construct durable furniture that will last a whole childhood, including:
an elegant rocking cradle
a chair that doubles as a toy
a solid heirloom crib
a Tyrannosaurus rocker
an ample and practical toy chest

"My new favourite store!
I just finshed my very first woodworking project (A workbench of course...couldn't do much without it!) and I can honestly say I did it mistake-free because of the advice from Charlie at the Rockler Store on S.Lyndale Ave. in Minneapolis.
He sold me what I needed, not what I thought I needed. (which would have been about twice as much!) He was very patient with all my questions, and gave me great advice on how to do things.
These folks are knowledgable and extremely helpful.
Charlie & Rockler - Thank You for all your help and all your future help!
- A new loyal customer." -
