Kids' tables and chairs give children a space of their own to draw, eat snacks, do craft, and play games — at a height that actually suits them. Our range covers single-child sets, multi-child sets, picnic-style outdoor tables, and modular sets that grow with the child. Sets start from $80 for a two-piece, with most family-sized sets between $150 and $300. Stock is held across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, dispatching within 1–2 business days.
What size kids' table and chair set do I need?
Match the chair seat height to the child's height for comfortable use. A 2–3 year old (85–95cm tall) suits a 22–26cm seat height and a 40–45cm table. A 3–5 year old (95–110cm) suits a 28–32cm seat and 45–50cm table. A 5–7 year old (110–125cm) suits a 32–36cm seat and 50–55cm table. Most product pages list both seat and table heights — check both, not just the age range. A set sized for a toddler frustrates an older child, and a set sized for an older child leaves a toddler's feet dangling.

Plastic or timber — which lasts longer?
Both materials work for kids' furniture, with different trade-offs. Plastic sets are lightweight, wipe clean easily, and cope with juice spills and paint without staining. They also do not splinter, which matters for young children. The downside is plastic looks like a kids' product and grows out of favour by age 6–7. Timber and MDF sets look more like proper furniture, blend into a playroom or dining area, and last longer if cared for — but they stain, can splinter at corners, and need refinishing if the child draws on them with permanent marker. For under-5s, plastic is the easier choice; for 5–8 year olds, timber lasts the rest of their kids' table years.
Quick buyer's checklist
-
Seat height: Feet should rest flat on the floor when seated
-
Table height: About 18–20cm taller than the seat
-
Number of chairs: One extra for siblings or play dates
-
Surface: Wipeable for craft and snacks; plain timber stains
-
Stability: Wide base stops the set tipping when leaned on
-
Storage: Activity tables with bins keep craft sorted
Where should a kids' table go in the house?
The most-used kids' table is the one in the room where parents already spend time — usually the living room corner or a kitchen alcove, not a separate playroom upstairs. Kids draw and play more when they are near adults, not when they are sent to do art in their room. A small kids' table in the corner of the main living space gets daily use; the same table tucked away in a bedroom often does not. The trade-off is the mess is more visible; activity tables with under-table bins help keep this manageable.
How much do kids' table and chair sets cost in Australia?
Kids' table and chair sets at Simple Deals start from $80 for compact single sets. Most family-sized sets sit between $150 and $300, with adjustable-height and storage activity sets running higher. All sets dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most furniture sites won't admit
Almost every kids' table and chair set sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam, Malaysia or Indonesia — including ours. Where the set is made is not the real difference between online furniture retailers. What matters is what happens after the stock lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from an overseas container, which is why their "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: how long these get used. Most kids outgrow their first table set by age 6–7. If you are buying for a 2-year-old, expect 4–5 years of use, then the set gets passed on or sold. Adjustable-height sets stretch this to 8–9 years, which is worth the extra cost if the budget allows.

Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?

Complete the kids' room
A kids' table and chair set anchors the activity area, and a few pieces complete the space. Most parents add three at the same time: a kids' bed sized for the room, wooden toys for play, and arts and craft supplies for the table itself.
