Baby Furniture Manufacturers



There are many baby furniture manufacturers producing nursery furnishings today. Furniture makers often target certain segments of the market; as a result, their products vary in terms of quality, price, safety standards, warranties, distribution method, and customer service.

Some manufacturers make affordability a top priority; some focus more on style or service.

Some distribute through small specialty retailers. Some sell through large national chains. Bellini sells furniture only through its own franchised stores.

Warranty policies vary widely, from a one-year warranty, to a limited lifetime warranty, to no written warranty at all.

Many, but not all, of these manufacturers participate in the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification program. They submit their products to testing and obtain the JPMA seal, certifying that each item meets or exceeds voluntary industry safety standards. These standards are stricter and safer than the mandatory safety standards issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), to which all baby furniture sold in the United States must conform by law. The JPMA website keeps an updated list of baby furniture manufacturers with JPMA-certified products .
