When shopping for kids’ furniture in Vietnam, you may get set back a little when you find out there is no state regulation about the quality of the kids’ products. It’s easy to buy furniture off the street, but not that easy to find reliable quality or thought-through design. In the recent years, however, we love to see the new brands establishing themselves on the Vietnam’s baby market.

In this post, you will find our favorite local providers of kids’ furniture in Vietnam, and also some good advice about picking the nursery staples. 

What to consider when buying kids’ furniture in Vietnam? 

1. Look at the quality

2. Pick for years to come

3. Buy in sets

4. Make a centerpiece stand out

5. Ask about the assembly

Look at the quality 

Sounds obvious? Yet you may want to double-check again. Aside from the usual suspects like wobbly legs and splinters, pay extra attention to the furniture smell. In Vietnam there are no clear policies regulating the manufacture of kids’ goods, which may let manufacturers get off with using hazardous paints and varnishes. If you want to be on the safe side, go with the recognized brands that have all safety certificates. 

Pick for the years to come

Kids grow fast and learn something new every day. With the well-chosen furniture, you will ensure a comfortable multifunctional space for them to thrive in. Make sure to equip the room with the kid-sized chairs and tables. As for the beds, look into full-sized floor beds. Not only they encourage independence but also make life easier for the parents when it’s bedtime.

Get in sets

Found a piece you love? Check out if there is other furniture in the collection to complement it. You’re likely to be pleasantly surprised. The kids’ furniture sets are usually designed in lovely cohesion. When put together, they make a lovely and finished picture. Furniture sets make the room renovations much easier for busy parents. 

Choose an outstanding centerpiece

The kids’ room can be many things, but the one thing it should not be is boring. Go for the bold choices when choosing the staple pieces. It can be a house-shaped bed, a chalkboard shelving, or a hopscotch carpet. Whenever someone enters the room, they should know at the first glance that this is where imagination, fun, and creativity live.

Ask about the assembly

Before you buy your chosen set make sure to double-check with the store if they will assemble the furniture for you. The bigger sellers will usually do full customer service, but with online purchases, you can never know for sure. If you think there may be a risk that the seller will not do the assembly, a good idea is to ask for user’s manual so that you’d be able to do it yourself. To avoid the hassle, buy from the big stores – like the ones on top of our list.

All Les Petits Grands furniture meets European standards both in the manufacturing and design, making happy pieces that your kids will enjoy.

4. Lazada.vn – the saying goes that Lazada marketplace has it all. Not quite. But when it comes to kids’ furniture, you can rely on it for the run-off-the-mill chairs and tables, canopies, teepees and storage items. 
5. Anawood – this local brand makes a range of modular plywood kids’ furniture. Clever designs of their pieces work very well in the playrooms and the older kids’ bedrooms.

We love the friendly interface. Quite some makers and sellers with some good taste there, yet be ready to use a lot of google translate. 
8. Ngo Gia Tu street, or The furniture street in Ho Chi Minh City. If you’re looking at the cheaper end of the furniture market, go straight to the furniture street – a shadowy road in central Saigon. Here you can find cribs and school desks at very affordable prices. Many pieces are miniature and overdecorated, but you can still hunt around for a good find. We love the sturdy shelving sold here.
