I'm looking for plans for a child's table and chairs. I did the google
search but most of the links are bad. I want it to be nice and heavy so no
chairs tipping or anything. I could just scale down a square table and
chairs. Maybe oak. But if anyone has any plans that would be great.

Thanks

OK. You want free, or are you willing to pay? Kiids how old?
What didn't you like about the links you did find then?

The only way I know of to make a chair a kid can't tip over, if
they wanted to, would be nail the chair to the floor, and hope. So, I'm
thinking maybe a picnic table.

Of course I don't think you're a complete idiot. Some parts are
missing.

Check your library or bookstore for "Children's Furniture Projects" by Jeff
Miller (no relation to myself). Some plans, interesting designs, and a lot of
useful information about sizing the furniture to the child.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

Pay or free it doesn't matter.

Kids under 5

It wasn't that I didn't like the links but that the reference links are
dead. So I can't say what they were.

With tipping, a chair with a higher back and tight base will tip before a
short back and heavy wide base. The chair can still tip but not very easily.
Kids will find a way no matter what type of chair. The question is a design
that is the safest.

I built this one it came out great. I jazzed it up
a little by laminating strips of bubinga into
figured maple. My kids love it and use all the time
good luck, Darrell
P.S. it was a free plan from PM

Build the seat as a torsion box. Fill the interior with lead. Don't put
any legs on it. Stays put. No tipping.

I also added drawers at SWMBO;s request. Which was very difficult for
me, since it was my first year at woodworking.
