I’ve carefully chosen the lines we carry at Pippin McGee and wanted to share with you the reasons I chose Stanley Young America furniture as one of the manufacturer’s whose lines we proudly carry. This will also give you an insight into what to look for when you are trying to choose a manufacturer or brand of products for your children’s furniture needs.

With a long standing name like Stanley Furniture, it was a natural for them to decide to get in to the children’s furniture. Why not, they already made quality furniture at a great value, they had all of the production in place, and great people that continue to bring a family environment to the company and great leaders at the helm that can see that parents want their children to have the very best. The next step was how to do it properly. Many furniture companies have jumped in to the children’s furniture end, but not many have done it to the extent that Stanley Young America has by making sure that they have met and exceeded the safety guidelines as well as setting numerous standards in the industry like:

  1. Making sure every Young America product meets and exceeds current mandatory and voluntary government and industry safety standards.
  2. All of their taller case pieces feature a tip restraint kit that can secure the backs of cases to the wall deterring dangerous tipping.
  3. Adjustable levelers that are help to keep your furniture from wobbling or the doors not closing properly because the floor is not exactly level. We deliver a lot of furniture on a daily basis and I can tell you personally that we use this with Stanley daily. Floors just have imperfections and the levelers solve the problem.
  4. The infamous Tethered slat roll mattress support which is a wood slat roll that is tethered together for extra stability (for little ones who like to jump on beds) and eliminates the need for a Bunkie board or a box spring.
  5. As an added benefit, Stanley Young America also incorporated Automatic Drawer stops which prevent dangerous spills when kids pull on a drawer to hard and would typically fall on top of them. These heavy-duty metal drawer glides with automatic stops also ensure that you have a smooth drawer glide for many years.

As you can see from their safety benefits, Stanley Young America cares about safety and has incorporated that in to every piece of furniture that they make. That just leaves the pretty part….Is their furniture good looking? Will it stand the test of time? Will my children like it? Will it look good in my house? We all have children so we know we would ask the exact same thing. To be able to stand in front of you, whether you are standing in our store or visiting us on our website, we are passionate about being able to stand behind the manufacturers and the products they produce. I won’t let you purchase it unless I would let my own child use it. So here is what we love about the Stanley Young America Furniture:

  1. The fabulous Hi-Lo Bed Rail locking system. Sounds technical, but what it means is that the wood side rails on their bed have a two position rail height that allows you to put it in the low position to get the bed down low for a toddler, or the high position when you want to put either a trundle or storage underneath the bed. Options are essential for growing children and busy parents. They have made it easy. Whatever your stage with your child, the bed can meet their needs, every time.
  2. No lead in the finish, no lead in the wood. With certified letters that have certified testing, you can be reassured that they have not taken any short cuts just to make a profit. They stick true to their word of producing quality furniture that has great value and is safe for children.
  3. The wide range of furniture that makes designing a nursery or a room easy and fits your needs. Whether you want a chest or a dresser, a twin bed or bunk beds, let it be a toy chest or make my crib in to a full size bed, this company has thought of it all.
  4. Beautiful, charming furniture in rich finishes that can meet anyone’s tastes. Whether you love antique cream, rich cherry, a charming pine finish or a classic white, they have a collection that will suit your taste.
  5. Great under-bed options. When you have growing children, they just go through different stages. My son refuses to sleep in a bed with anyone else so when friends come for a sleep over, we roll the Young America trundle out. But my little princess, she can’t get enough friends in her bed so we have a full size bed for her with great storage underneath for all of her dolls; dress up clothes and toys…lots of stuff.

I am sure you have heard it before; you get what you pay for in furniture. With Stanley Young America they deliver consistently with great furniture and unbeatable value, all with the style you demand and the looks your kids will love.
