Rounded edges, smooth lines, chic finishes, longevity and absolute functionality characterise the Shortstop range from Australian furniture company In Your Room. All of the products by In Your Room are designed and made in Australia and aim to be a part of the family home long after the kids have grown up.

After many years serving as a kiddy art and dining table, it can be used as a stool or side table, and the little seats can be used as mini tables, foot stools or step ups anywhere in the house. In the mean time children can sit comfortably at furniture designed for rambunctiousness. I can't see a single corner that might cause an inury.

Another piece that caught my eye is the Tablebox. I've seen this in action in a local baby boutique, proving it can be used for many applications. Invest just once - it will see many years, from nursery storage to sporting gear receptacle, right through to lounge room coffee table in university years!

I love that it hides all the clutter that can accumulate so easily. I can imagine just sweeping it all off the surface and into the handy box below and the room looking instantly sparse as though it were like that all the time.

In Your Room offers three finish choices of hoop-pine, European beech or laminate in 8 standard colours. Made from sustainable bent ply, the design beautifully embraces the character of the wood, yet remains contemporary in style. The table setting is for children from 18 months to 5 years.

In Your Room offers easy peasy online purchasing facilities with clearly stated and very reasonable delivery fees. Who knew buying furniture could be done from your lounge chair?! Alternatively, available from bebe or check the website for local stockists.  The Shortstop set (table and two stools) sells for $695 and the Tablebox is a bit of a splurge at $935.
