Kids Tables and Chairs

Kids Tables & Chairs for Everyday Use

Kids tables and chairs are used for drawing, meals, crafts, homework, and everyday activities at home and in learning spaces. Having furniture sized for children helps keep activities comfortable and contained, while making shared spaces easier to manage.

This collection includes a range of table and chair sets designed for regular use, with options made from plastic, wood, and commercial-grade materials. Product listings clearly outline dimensions, materials, and intended use so you can compare styles and choose what suits your space. Kids tables and chairs form part of our broader kids furniture range.

What height is right for my child?

Seat height is the most important measurement to get right. As a general guide:

• Toddlers (1–3 years): seat height 25–30 cm, table height 40–45 cm
• Preschool (3–5 years): seat height 30–35 cm, table height 45–52 cm
• School age (5–10 years): seat height 35–40 cm, table height 52–60 cm

When seated, your child's feet should rest flat on the floor and their elbows should sit comfortably at table height without hunching. If you're buying for a range of ages, look for height-adjustable sets. For a full breakdown of sizes, materials, and use cases, read our Kids Tables & Chairs Buying Guide.

Wood vs plastic - which is better?

Both materials have their place depending on how and where the furniture will be used.

Wooden sets are more durable long-term, look better in living spaces, and are generally sturdier for heavier use like craft activities and homework. Solid wood options like those from Qtoys and Edufun are built to last through multiple children and resist wobbling over time.

Plastic sets are lightweight, easy to wipe clean, and typically more affordable. They're ideal for outdoor use, playrooms, or younger toddlers who are harder on furniture. Look for sets with rounded corners and non-slip feet.

Commercial-grade sets use powder-coated steel frames with laminate tops - the same construction used in childcare centres and schools. These are worth considering if you need furniture that will take heavy daily use.

How many chairs do I need?

Most sets come with two chairs, which suits one child and a parent joining in. If you have multiple children or want space for playdates, look for 4-chair sets or tables large enough to add extra chairs later. Round and square tables work best for small groups as every seat has equal access to the centre.

What to look for in terms of safety

All kids' furniture sold in Australia should comply with AS/NZS 8124 toy safety standards. Look for:

• Rounded or bevelled corners and edges
• Non-toxic, lead-free paint or finishes
• Stable, wide-stance legs that resist tipping
• Chair backs tall enough to provide support without restricting movement
