Here are some practical tips for making ARV Furniture safe for kids, whether in a playroom, living room, or bedroom:

✅ 1. Anchor Furniture to Walls
Why: Prevents heavy items like dressers, chests, and bookcases from tipping.

Tip: Use anti-tip wall straps or brackets, especially for taller ARV pieces.

✅ 2. Use Corner Guards and Edge Bumpers
Why: Protects kids from sharp edges on coffee tables, nightstands, and consoles.

Tip: Apply soft, transparent guards that blend with glossy or wood finishes of ARV furniture.

✅ 3. Avoid Glass Furniture in Play Areas
Why: Glass can shatter and cause injury.

Tip: If you own ARV furniture with tempered glass (like a coffee table or console), ensure it’s made from safety-rated tempered glass, or move it to a low-traffic area.

✅ 4. Secure Drawers and Doors
Why: Prevents kids from pulling furniture over or pinching fingers.

Tip: Use childproof latches for ARV dressers, night tables, and TV units with drawers or cabinet doors.

✅ 5. Choose Rounded and Upholstered Pieces
Why: Reduces injury from bumps and falls.

Tip: ARV’s upholstered beds, padded headboards, and tufted storage benches are excellent choices for kid-friendly zones.

✅ 6. Use Non-Slip Pads or Rugs
Why: Prevents furniture from sliding or kids from slipping.

Tip: Place ARV chairs, stools, or tables on non-slip rugs or pads, especially on hardwood or tile floors.

✅ 7. Store Smart with Soft-Close Features
Why: Prevents slamming injuries.

Tip: If your ARV storage beds or nightstands have soft-close drawers, it’s safer for small hands. If not, add soft-close drawer dampers.

✅ 8. Avoid Tip-Prone Items
Why: Stability is crucial for safety.

Tip: Avoid placing ARV floor mirrors or tall, narrow bookcases in rooms with young children unless anchored.

✅ 9. Keep Decorative Items Out of Reach
Why: Small objects can be choking hazards.

Tip: Utilize the upper storage sections of ARV wall units and dressers to keep vases, photo frames, and ornaments out of reach of children.

✅ 10. Regularly Inspect and Maintain
Why: Loose parts or damaged finishes can cause accidents.

Tip: Periodically check bolts, screws, and surfaces of all ARV furniture for wear and re-tighten or touch-up as needed.
