I have £420 to spend on the following:


1 computer table and chair or bench

1 table+2 chairs.


The furniture will be for the children and would be nice if it's adjustable as I have mix of ages.

Needs to be hard wearing.


I am fed up of looking and have virtually given up.
Looked on Morleys, equip-4eduction, mmlfurniture.


Anyone with any ideas - many thanks.xx.

Hello Redragon

I know how you feel! I've been looking for storage and a new table and chairs for months now, but just can't make my mind up. Great little trading co have some nice stuff or you could try www.schoolsurplus.co.uk. They offer lots of educational stuff at discounted prices and you can click a button to tell it to include VAT so you know exactly how much stuff is.

Hope this helps

This is exactly what I've been searching for, thanks :thumbsup: I need some kids furniture that will look nice in my living room, that's perfect to double up as a coffee table

Prefer the one from GLTC, plus much cheaper, and the one from Amazon only seats 2 plus the long sides are solid so you couldn't put any more children round it! Just my opinion though!!!:blush:

Yes, I've gone off the Bloom one-it's impractical.

The GLTC has a computer desk to watch too.

I have the blue round table featured on this page plus 4 of the stools. Its almost 2 years old now and is fab. My own children aged 11 and 9 still sit at it to draw, eat their snacks etc. Plus the 2, 3, and 4 yr olds I look after use it with ease. As its plastic, its easy to clean and very hardwearing ie doesnt scratch like could. We use it for eating at, crafts, baking, it goes in the garden and comes back in.

We bought the rectangular one and 2 of the stools when my daughter was born 9 years ago - the table is still going strong in the playhouse and only got replaced as I could fit more at the round one.
