Idea One
"I think this one is a brilliant idea, id buy it. these things seperate are so expensive each but together, its such a good idea. would look nice and last well in a nice varnished beech wood i think."
"I like it a lot, but im not sold on the blackboard. Its not very hygenic surface for baby changing, and it can incourage children to draw on furniture/walls!"
"Having a blackboard on a childs idea is a no no, bed time should be for relaxing settling down and going to sleep, not an activity center, one bed doesnt last with kids anyway"
Idea Two
"your ideas are really good though stuff like this has been don before, i think i saw some at devon holiday park and wher made of leather with beany filling stuff, hardish foam would be good though, and very playabe and safe."
"Really good, although I would try to make it save a bit more space somehow."
"again this is more like an activity center to a kid, beds should be associated with sleep,"
"Love the foam idea, looks playful and useful. Would have to be quite firm to prevent sagging, suggest wipe clean too. Very good idea!"
Idea Three
"in reality this would not look good in a bedroom, in a caravan perhaps, but these ideas have been done before, see the t.v. programme, 'some mothers do have em' i beleive this was once a design of the sixtys"
"Again, really like it. Health and safety can be an issue (heard about an old couple killed by fold out bed!). Great space saving storage etc."
"this one is probally for older kids right, not my thing for a few years but the ideas good if youve got the space i suppose."
Idea Four
"With growing children in mind, I would suggest desks and benches with adjustable legs...'telescopic'...so that as the child grows, the furniture legs can be extended accordingly."
"general comment.....nice colours,but these days kids like more choice than just the standard "school" primary colours. be great with pinks/purples/lilacs and black/white/red or a mix of 3 shades of blue etc....."
"I like how this idea would allow children to explore their creativity. These cushions could be made into dens, castles and other imaginative things, as well as being useful furniture. I think the cushions will have to be very firm though to take the battering they would recieve, also the covers should be either washable or wipeclean."
"I like idea number four. If i was a kid i would totally have a blast with those. When im married and have kids, i bet they would love these also."
