		<description><![CDATA[Home Furniture Safety Tips to Help Protect Your Family From Accidents and Injury&nbsp;by: Bridget MwapeThousands of People are treated annually for injuries associated with furniture. The majority of these injuries and deaths are to children. Here are tips you may use to make your household environment safer for yourself and your family.1. Falls are a leading cause of injuries and deaths in the home. To lessen the likelihood of falls, eliminate clutter, be sure rugs have slip-resistant pads, keep electrical cords out of walkways and clean up spills immediately.2. Position or Place furniture in low-traffic areas such as corners and sections of the room, out of the range of mobility so that people do not accidentally run into furniture. 3. Shelves should be strategically placed in bedroom and living room areas to limit reaching. They should be low enough to avoid using a step stool but all items should be at eye level in order to find them easily. 4. Make sure furniture is stable and without sharp corners, if possible. This will minimize the chances of injury.5. Make sure that furniture surfaces are smooth and free of splinters or rough edges. Nails, screws and other joiners should be tight and unexposed. 6. Be careful not to overload the shelves on bookcases. In some cases, it may be a good idea to secure the top portion of the unit to the wall to prevent it from tipping over, especially if children are present in the home.7. Use the correct size furniture to house your television. Because of their weight, especially the popular larger models, TVs can fall forward if they are not properly supported. 8. Place TVs on lower furniture, as far back as possible. Use angle-braces or anchors to secure furniture to the wall.9. Make sure that lids have safety latches that prevent the top from falling freely or slamming shut on fingers or a child's head. Lids also should not lock automatically. If you have an older chest without safety latches, it is recommended that you contact the manufacturer for a replacement latch or remove the lid.10. Arrange furniture so that outlets are available for lamps and appliances without the use of extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, place it on the floor against a wall where people cannot trip over it. Remove cords from under furniture or carpeting and replace damaged or frayed cords immediately.11. Remove rugs and runners that tend to slide. Apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape or rubber matting to the backs of rugs and runners. Purchase rugs with slip-resistant backing.12. Lamps or switches located close to each bed will enable you to get up at night and see where you're going. Rearrange furniture closer to switches or move lamps closer to beds. Install night lights where possible.13. Never allow children under 6 years-old on the upper bunk of a Bunk bed. Bunk beds should have guardrails on each side of the top bunk, with the side against the wall or opposite the ladder running the full length of the bed.14. It's a good idea to check periodically to make sure all screws, bolts, brackets and other joiners on your furniture are tight and secure.15. To prevent tempting your children to climb on furniture, do not place enticing objects on tops of tables, dressers or bookcases.16. You should not place furniture near windows where children can climb or fall out.When shopping for home furniture, choose quality furniture that is not only comfortable and beautiful, but safe as well.About The AuthorBridget Mwape writes for the Designer Furniture website at http://www.designer-furniture.org.uk/ and also contributes articles and product reviews at http://www.fine-furniture.org.uk/ regularly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Top 3 Tips For Buying Office Furniture&nbsp;by: Roger WembleyThe topic of office furniture is about as exciting as watching the grass grow to some people. Generally, these people see buying office furniture as a necessary evil which requires them to search through the numerous offering of different manufacturers to finally find that perfect piece that they?ve been looking for. While the topic of office chairs and other office furniture items might seem a little dull to the new shopper, there are plenty of ways to make it exciting. Yes. Exciting! 1) Let?s start with Ebay. Guess what? Ebay is one of the largest (if not the largest) shopping experiences in the world right now (and probably into the near future). Ebay has grown massively during the last and it currently the largest used car dealer on the planet. How does this relate to office furniture? Simple. Office furniture can be bought on Ebay. And cheaply. I regularly buy items for 50% off on Ebay. Maybe someone had a business that didn?t work out so well and now all their equipment is for sale on Ebay. Their loss is your gain. Why pay $800 for a new chair when you can buy one slightly used for $250? No brainer. Ebay is the way to go. 2) Don?t buy more than you actually need. Office furniture is quite versatile. Buying a slightly larger desk can take the place of two smaller ones if you know how to arrange it properly. In fact, buying one large used piece of office furniture might cost only ? as much as 2 small new pieces. The key is to buy the best bang for the buck. 3) Look into leasing or renting office furniture. Now this is one good tip- I?m sorry to say I can?t take credit for it myself. This is a fantastic way to keep your cash flow in your pocket while enjoying the benefits of a brand new office. New chairs, new desks, new everything: all for a very low up front price. The big thing to look out for here is to make sure that you are truly getting a good deal. To say there are conartists out there is a huge understatement. Read the fine print carefully and make sure that what you are paying is less than buying it outright. However, with a little bit of homework, it really isn?t that hard to get a good deal by renting or leasing. Check it out.About The AuthorRoger Wembley writes for http://www.officefurniturers.com.

		<title>Outdoor Wood Furniture ? Check The Wood Species Before Purchasing</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Outdoor Wood Furniture ? Check The Wood Species Before Purchasing&nbsp;by: Malcolm D KayNot too long ago, the vast majority of outdoor furniture was all made of teak. Teak has proved to be an ideal lumber species for outdoor furniture, due to its high durability, ease of working with machine tools, its low coefficient of radial and tangential expansion (which reduces potential problems in twisting, or swelling when wet), it's attractive colour and good working properties.  But such widespread use of teak, including for marine decking, has come at a considerable environmental cost.  The once great forests of South East Asia have been decimated to the extent that legally logged teak is now only available in very limited quantities, which is reflected in its high price.  But unfortunately, illegal logging is still rampant and in many areas of South East Asia, ensuring its continuing supply to the furniture trade.  Plantations of teak have now been established in a number of countries including Costa Rica for example (presumably planted in most cases where the great forests once existed). But this plantation teak is harvested at a much younger age that has traditionally been the case, so caution should be taken in assuming that the properties of such younger lumber (including durability) will be the same as old growth teak.Many responsible furniture manufacturers will now only used teak which has been certified by such independent bodies as the Forest Stewardship Council.  If sustainability of forests and sound forestry practices are an important consideration in your choice of furniture, then look for the FSC logo or ask your retailer to provide documentation to show from where the lumber was sourced. Note however that even if the  tag accompanying any wood furniture claims that the wood is sourced from sustainable forests, unfortunately there is no firm guarantee that this is true.  You may be able to make some verification by checking the FSC website, which indicates which companies and even manufacturers have been given official accreditation by the FSC.In recent years there has been a proliferation of different lumber species used in outdoor furniture as more manufacturing plants are set up in places such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, in particular.  Unfortunately, a lot of furniture is now produced with price as the overriding consideration, with scant consideration being given to the durability or in service performance of the furniture. And all too often these days the name of the actual wood species in not even displayed ? except perhaps a bland statement like ?manufactured from durable hardwood species?. And of course a lot of lumber is transported to furniture makers located far from the original source of the lumber, making it even harder to track the actual supply country or region.Thus there is often no guarantee that the furniture, which may look magnificent in a covered showroom, will survive the rigours of outdoor use, year after year, fully exposed to the elements.  Apart from the failure to state what timber species has been used, sometimes a wood species is quoted which is virtually unknown outside its country of origin and data on its durability or other properties is either nonexistent or extremely difficult to locate. Although we have only referred above to the durability factor, this not the only property you should be concerned with. Many species of lumber, although very durable, are also prone to twisting, warping and cracking under adverse climatic conditions, particularly where thin wood section are concerned. Again teak has proved to be a very stable species in this regard but other species are not necessarily so stable.Whilst the lower costs and attractive colour of some outdoor furniture can certainly be appealing, we strongly suggest you should always ask your retailer to provide the name of the lumber species used and from which country it was sourced.  If this species is not familiar to you, no other data is provided, and your independent research fails to locate data on such species, you should think carefully before making your purchase..  Good quality outdoor furniture should give many, many years of service and its higher initial cost will inevitably be repaid in terms of a longer service life and a much higher quality product.About The AuthorMalcolm Kay is the CEO of Intex Pacific Pty.

You may have to experiment and try a variety of techniques to find what works best for you.  It is important to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in your bedroom. Your objective is to be highly relaxed and a calming, cool environment with plenty of oxygen will help you feel this way.   Ideally your room should be on the cooler side; but its up to you to experiment with a range of conditions. You don't want to wake during the night either too hot or too cold and then find yourself wide awake once again.  Sleep experts say that the ideal room temperature is 65 to 70 degrees F.You should try and sleep with the window open. It is important that you have a constant fresh supply of circulating air which will help you breathe deeply and sleep soundly. If you find that you're woken by noises outside your bedroom, you should consider buying ear plugs ? they take a little while to get used to but there are ear plugs that have been designed to be comfortable and unobtrusive, which won't disturb your sleep. If you can't bear the thought of ear plugs you may want to use a "white noise" machine, such as a fan.  The "white noise" will mask other noises that you?re not used that wake you in the middle of the night. Your circadian rhythm tells your body to wake up in the sunshine and go to sleep in the dark. Therefore you should endeavor to make your bedroom as dark as possible. You can do this by hanging thick, dark curtains. Or you may try buying a comfortable eye mask. Do you find yourself listening to the irritating sound of a ticking clock? If so you should consider replacing it with a digital clock.

		<description><![CDATA[Should You Buy Todder Size Furniture&nbsp;by: Bob BensonYour baby has grown into a full-fledged toddler and is ready for a ?big girl? or ?big boy? bed. Have you seen the latest toddler furniture? It?s cute!  But you really don?t have to spend a lot to make your toddler comfortable in his or her bedroom.Your first decision will be whether to buy a toddler bed. The toddler bed is a piece of furniture sized just right for babies who are too big for their crib. Most use the mattress from the crib, however, so they are not actually that much bigger in size. Toddler beds just get the child accustomed to sleeping without rails all around and is low enough that if the child rolls out, he won?t get hurt.Has your child grown quickly? If so, you might think about skipping the toddler bed as furniture and buy a twin size bed instead. You can purchase rails made of cloth and plastic that do a fine job of keeping the child in the bed and allowing him more room for movement. If you are looking to save money, this is one way to do it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Should You Buy Todder Size Furniture</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Bob Benson</b><p><p><p><p>Your baby has grown into a full-fledged toddler and is ready for a ?big girl? or ?big boy? bed. Have you seen the latest toddler furniture? It?s cute!  But you really don?t have to spend a lot to make your toddler comfortable in his or her bedroom.<p><p>Your first decision will be whether to buy a toddler bed. The toddler bed is a piece of furniture sized just right for babies who are too big for their crib. Most use the mattress from the crib, however, so they are not actually that much bigger in size. Toddler beds just get the child accustomed to sleeping without rails all around and is low enough that if the child rolls out, he won?t get hurt.<p><p>Has your child grown quickly? If so, you might think about skipping the toddler bed as furniture and buy a twin size bed instead. You can purchase rails made of cloth and plastic that do a fine job of keeping the child in the bed and allowing him more room for movement. If you are looking to save money, this is one way to do it. By buying a twin bed you?ve eliminated the often expensive toddler size furniture that will only have to be upgraded later.<p><p>Should you buy a toddler size dresser?

That applies to simple home offices as well as large multi-city enterprises and everything in between. Here are several things you can do to ensure that you buy office furniture as economically as possible. * The first step is to plan your office. Write down your exact needs. Figure out what furniture you will need at the minimum. These are things which if absent will impair your ability to run the business. Here's the most important rule for buying office furniture economically -- everything other than the essentials you identified above is an optional extra. You may decide to buy it or not depending on your budget. Buy only what you truly need. * Draw out a sketch of the office and where each piece of furniture will go. This is a vital step in cutting down waste as well as in planning your office properly. You may discover that the big, attractive desk you saw at the discount store will actually take up space that's needed for something else. This step will help your fine-time your real needs further. It will help you focus on the must-have furniture as opposed to the nice-to-have stuff. * Now that you know how much you will need to spend on furniture, make a decision regarding whether you'll buy it outright or rent / lease it. If you are under a severe budget constraint, leasing may be an option to look at. * Functionality rules over appearances. Sure, it's great if you can afford office furniture that looks terrific.

This applies more to a home office than to other types of offices. If you have a well-designed chair with good back support, for instance, you may be able to eliminate that item from your purchase list. * Get creative with your needs, particularly for home offices.

		<description><![CDATA[Picking Furniture for a Nursery&nbsp;by: Bob BensonFurnishing a nursery can be a wonderful time for an expectant mother. Not only is it fun to prepare for the birth of a baby, but it gives the expectant mother an outlet for those nesting instincts that will soon kick in. A lot of well-meaning people (i.e. parents and in-laws) will convince you that you simply must have certain furniture for your new baby?s room.Some of the furniture you will likely consider includes:BassinetteCribChanging tableDresserRocking chairDo you need it all? Only you can know for sure. Ask yourself, ?What furniture am I really likely to use??A bassinette is handy for keeping the new baby very close. Most are portable so you can roll them throughout the house. If someone offers to loan you a bassinette, take them up on it as long as the mattress is clean and in good shape. You?ll only use a bassinette for a short period of time, so why invest in it as a major piece of furniture?A crib, however, is a different story. If you plan for your child to sleep on his or her own at all, you will want a crib. It?s not as safe to borrow a crib from someone and while cribs are a type of baby furniture that have sentimental attachments, don?t agree to use an old crib because it was the one your husband used when he was a baby. Safety standards have changed dramatically and what was once considered safe furniture, might not be now. Look online to find baby crib safety standards. Make sure any spindles on the bed are placed close enough so that the baby cannot get his or her head stuck between them. Also, make sure there?s no lead paint on the bed. If you?re like most mothers, you?ll feel better about your baby?s safety if you buy new or one that was just recently used by someone you know.Do you need a changing table? Mothers went for years without this piece of furniture. But, they are nice to have and at a convenient height that saves some back strain. It?s a matter of available space, available money and your willingness to bend over to change a diaper!A dresser, if bought to last for years, would be a good furniture investment. Don?t waste money on a cutesy theme dresser that the baby will only outgrow when he or she starts to develop personal tastes. Instead, think about the rest of your house. Do you have a lot of mahogany furniture or a lot of white painted furniture? Buy a dresser that you can move elsewhere in the house if your child decides he or she hates it down the road. Buy solid wood. The furniture will last longer and it will contain fewer chemicals than cheaper veneer furniture pieces often include in the processing stage or in the glue used to hold pieces together.Everyone thinks you need a rocking chair if you have a baby. Is it a necessary piece of furniture for the nursery? Not if you have a rocking chair somewhere else in the house. No mother or baby wants to spend all their time in the nursery anyway. Use rocking time in another room to give you both a change of pace ? unless you just want to buy a rocker.About The AuthorBob Benson is the founder of Furniture online.

		<description><![CDATA[Buying Displayed Furniture&nbsp;by: Bob BensonHave you ever just had to have a certain piece of furniture right then ? you won?t leave the store without it? If you have ever had such an experience, you have probably been offered the displayed floor model. If you have not had a similar experience, be aware of these issues that might arise when buying a demo, displayed piece of furniture.Most stores can order furniture for you unless the particular model you want is being discontinued. Or, unless you absolutely, positively plan to walk out of the store with the sofa, recliner, or other piece of furniture that very day.If you find yourself in either of the above situations, you should be aware of the pros and cons of buying a demo or displayed piece of furniture.The biggest pro, obviously, is being able to have the instant gratification of immediate ownership. If really, really want a piece of furniture that is on display, try to hold your enthusiasm for the piece until you can talk with the sales person. Ask if there is a discount for buying the floor model. That would be a second pro. If a commissioned sales person can see how desperate you are to own that piece of furniture, he or she might be more likely to hold you to the original price. The best way to proceed is to ask the sales person what kind of price he can give you for that piece. Then, ask what price he can give you on the floor model. With any luck, the prices will show a decrease each time you ask!If there is no discount for buying the floor model, proceed with caution. Don?t let your urge for immediate ownership of the furniture to keep you from getting the best deal. Back away and think about it. Can you wait another two weeks for a brand new piece of furniture to be shipped to your house? If the answer is no, go back and look at the furniture. Prepare to give it a good inspection. If it is a sofa or chair, chances are that many of people have tried it out by sitting in it. Look at the seat. Is it worn or showing any signs of wear? Check out the back. Sometimes the natural oils from hair or the back side of necks can rub off on furniture cushions. Look for oily spots on the cushions.Take a look at the arms. Are they worn? Pay special attention to the cording on the arms and cushions. As people get up or lean back to get comfortable, the cording gets extra friction against it and shows signs of wearing sooner. Next, check the seams. Are any of the seams pulling apart? This might happen if a number of people have tried out the furniture. As people sit on the cushions, the seams tend to pull. They generally go back in place when the person gets up, but continued use could cause seams to separate permanently. If you spot any signs of wear, point them out to the sales person. If he still won?t come down off the price, walk on by. Place your order and wait for a perfect model to arrive just for you!About The AuthorBob Benson is the founder of Furniture  online.

		<description><![CDATA[Keeping it Brisk in the Bedroom&nbsp;by: Cameron ElliottI like the cold. I love those brisk, late- fall days, when it?s a perfect 50 or 60 degrees outside, or those cloudy winter nights. The clouds trap the warm air in atmosphere, so it?s only 40 degrees or so, and you can feel cold air filling your lungs. It?s so refreshing, so invigorating. Whenever I talk walks on those nights, I come home a new man, a wide awake man.My entire life I?ve kept a fan in my bedroom. I claim it?s for the white noise, which is part of it. I can?t stand it when rooms are too quiet, and a buzzing silence fills you ears. But mostly, I like it cold. At night, I?ll go the bathroom, and it will get noticeably warmer.I can?t sleep when it?s too hot. The paralyzing heat keeps me lying awake all night, tossing and turning, trying to find a cool spot on my mattress. But that cool breeze puts me right to sleep. Once, I tried to go without a fan, and couldn?t sleep. After I turned it on, I drifted right off.If I don?t have a fan, I open the window, the source of many arguments freshmen year, living in the dorms. My bed was by the window. Every night my roommates begged me to close it, but every night I forgot.I?ve always thought I was simply peculiar, but it turns out I might have been onto something. You see, when you fall asleep, your body temperature drops. If this change can?t happen, sleep can?t happen. In fact, it?s recommended that you keep your bedroom cool, to assist sleep.So, while I may have been made fun growing up for keeping my fan full blast all year (even the winter) I have the last laugh. About The AuthorCameron Elliott, a sleep specialist, is an internet manager for AirSleep.com where he champions the benefits of a good night's sleep both for individual health and also for a more safe and efficient world.

After I turned it on, I drifted right off.<p><p>If I don?t have a fan, I open the window, the source of many arguments freshmen year, living in the dorms. My bed was by the window. Every night my roommates begged me to close it, but every night I forgot.<p><p>I?ve always thought I was simply peculiar, but it turns out I might have been onto something. You see, when you fall asleep, your body temperature drops. If this change can?t happen, sleep can?t happen. In fact, it?s recommended that you keep your bedroom cool, to assist sleep.<p><p>So, while I may have been made fun growing up for keeping my fan full blast all year (even the winter) I have the last laugh. <p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Cameron Elliott, a sleep specialist, is an internet manager for <a href="http://AirSleep.com" target=new>AirSleep.com</a> where he champions the benefits of a good night's sleep both for individual health and also for a more safe and efficient world.

		<description><![CDATA[Furniture to Dress Up Your Office&nbsp;by: Bob BensonSitting in an office all day long can get monotonous. Break through the daily rut by dressing up your office with some cool office furniture. Unless you operate your own office, you may not have total control over your office furniture. Most employers, however, won?t mind if you bring in a piece or two of your own furniture to make the space more comfortable and personable. If you are bored with your current office look, bring in a new piece of furniture.Maybe your office could benefit with a piece of furniture as simple as a new bookcase. If it?s a simple bookcase, dress it up with some fun accessories. Or bring in a small dresser that can help hold files, personal belongings or simply serve as a top to display your favorite photos from home. You don?t have to buy a new bookcase or dresser for your office. Take an old piece of furniture from your home or hit the yard sales over the weekend and update it to fit your office space.If it?s truly funky furniture you?d like to add to your office, you can find it. If you don?t have a local retailer, take your search on line. You can find chairs that look like puckered lips, exotic faux-fur chaise lounges, chairs that look like high heel shoes and lots of other fun, funky furniture ideas. Basically, if you can think of it, you can probably find the furniture you?d like! Your search may take a little while and you might pay a pretty penny, but it will be worth it if you find the funky furniture that makes going to work fun!Another fun piece of furniture you could add to your office is an ottoman. Wouldn?t it be nice to prop your feet up every now and then at work? Even if you don?t utilize it?s function, an ottoman could dress up a room. Pick an ottoman in your favorite color or fabric design. For an extra special touch, pick an ottoman with lots of fringe! Your office will feel a little more ?home-y? with this one simple furniture accessory!If you have room in your office, an arm chair would be a nice furniture addition. Or how about a recliner? If you have one left over from a home re-arrangement, taking the chair or recliner to the office would be like bringing a little bit of home to work. It would also help create a personal atmosphere in what might otherwise be a ?stuffy? or cold environment.No matter how long you have been in the same office, you can make the space feel new and exciting by adding just a simple piece of furniture. Keep the necessities that the company provides and mandates, but add a little piece of furniture that you like to express your individuality. You will warm up to your work environment and your office will be a warmer place because of the personal touch your furniture piece has added!About The AuthorBob Benson is the founder of Furniture online.
