    I just went to garage sales, and looked on Kijiji.ca and UsedOttawa.com (closest area to where i'm from) for childrens sized furniture. At a garage sale I found an amazing solid wood table and chairs set for $5 (original owner must have paid at least $100) While they are great, I found that it was a bit high for my little ones. Next place I found was on one of the used sites, and found an old table and chair set from 30-40 years ago in pristine condition for free! The legs of the chairs and table are metal. The chairs are very sturdy, and lower for my little ones.

    My nephews have the wooden IKEA table and chair set - Svala, and it suits their needs.

    Good luck on your search!

    Red face table and chairs

    www.Furniture-4kids.com

    This is a great website which often has huge sales. You can buy tables with adjusting legs depending on the age and size of the children you are caring for and the same in chairs. For example...

    http://www.furniture-4kids.com/primstacchai.html 6 pack of chairs for $99 instead of $199.99

    http://www.furniture-4kids.com/24x36rectangle.html adjustable table $93.33 instead of $177.13

    Theres lots of other stuff too but these were just examples. I know a lot of daycare providers who wouldn't spend this kind of money on kids furniture but then they shouldn't complain where as I think that if you plan to do daycare for many years then this is perfect or if you know a lot of providers or are part of an association then you could sell them on easily and get a good portion of the purchase price back. I for one have bought these and they are terrific. It is a US based company so I had them delivered to US address just over the border at Niagara Falls and it cost a few dollars for them to hold it for a week till I collected it. I hope this is helpful or that you can find something else suitable on this great website.
