Children's furniture, environmental protection, the first parents to buy wisdom, "health"

But what kind of children's furniture to choose seems to be a common question for consumers and dealers.

In recent years, the home industry has not been calm. The incidents of poisonous floors and poisonous mattresses that have been blasted have made the home industry smell "toxic" and have left consumers with a lingering fear.

Ms. Wang, who chose a wardrobe for her daughter in a branded children's area, said: “Before I went to other brand stores, all the shopping guides are the same. It is the safest way to ensure that my furniture is safe. Just ask, all The answer is zero pollution without pollution, but if the child is really badly affected, it will be useless to find him again."
