Kids love things that are just for them, and that makes the child-size furniture category a big hit with little people. Table and chair sets, often done in kid-friendly colors and patterns, remain a popular choice. But there is variety as manufacturers add upholstered chairs, lounge furniture and tiny sofas to the mix. And kid-size furniture is going upscale as well. Examples include Uwharrie Chair Co.'s picnic table and Netto Collection's sophisticated-looking cub stools. But no matter the price, these pieces give kids a place to explore their imaginations, whether it's having tea parties, reading a book or just daydreaming.
