Here are three readers’ accounts of how they picked their children’s furniture.

Bedtime Stories

We discovered FLEXA about three years ago when we were moving to our new home. We had some concerns about safety and the use of chemicals such as formaldehyde in children’s furniture. I found FLEXA by accident on the internet, and when I saw that the store was close to our home, our family went to take a look.

To our surprise, we were easily able to find and purchase something that we all liked – a classic pine bunk bed with a slide. Not only did it solve our issue of two children sleeping in a small room, it was even able to entertain them. The store’s shopping assistant Ivy gave us extra understanding of their production standards and quality assurance.

Sure enough, after installing the bed, we could feel the difference. In addition to the professional delivery and installation service, there was no odd smell, even with the whole set of furniture in a small room; we were able to move in immediately with no worries.

After this experience, we’ve developed a trust in the store and its team. We’ve not only bought other products from them, such as bookshelves, but we’ve also introduced the company to our friends. We’re expecting another child soon, and they need their own room in the future, so we will definitely be going back to FLEXA.
