ABC Kids Expo 2008: BBO2 Outdoor Kids Furniture from notNeutral

Chris Ford — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT

I'm a big fan of children's product design group notNeutral, and at ABC this year they had a big announcement. Working off of their already extremely popular line of bedroom and playroom furniture "BB2", they've created a durable outdoor version of the table and chairs called BBO2.

The table and chairs are made of an extremely durable post-consumer recycled plastic that won't fade or chip. Which means all those soda and milk bottles that you've been dutifully recycling all of these years have been transformed into beautiful children's furniture. The table is square (as opposed to the round BB2); available in blue, green, and special order black, white, red and brown; and should be available in January of 2009. It's not cheap, the table should retail for around $455 and each chair will go for $180. But if you've been looking for a play set that your kids can also bring outside, then this might be for you.

Picnic Table Craft Table From P'Kolino

Chris Ford — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:08:00 GMT

We've written before about the kids funiture from P'Kolino, and now they've got a new activity table for kids that matches the rest of their collection. It looks fun and modern, but is a picnic-bench type of table best for you?

I can imagine this type of table being perfect for some playrooms. In apartments or other places where space is at a premium, this might be the perfect solution. But in my house, one of the best aspects of the activity table is my kids can take the chairs and move them around. Not to mention the fact that I've sat down at the table once or twice myself. Plus, with the bench attached to the table, it would have been hard for my youngest to get to the table with her sister when she was learning to walk.

But either way, if you're shopping for a play table for your kids this one is worth checking out.
