Furniture for dorm rooms
It seem to be that time of year again when most college students phone home and say "mom I need dorm room furniture". True as this may be it does require careful planning and buying the right type of furniture that fits into a dorm room. These areas are normally quite small and need careful furniture placements.
Starting with the bed which should be a futon bed that you can use as a couch for seating. Then a storage trunk coffee table to maximize a small storage area. Then a small round kitchen table and chair set that the stools fit underneath. The best size would be the same as you would a small studio apartment.

Students don't need a lot of furniture in a dorm room, they just need well organized furniture that works and looks good. If it can be repainted at the end of the school year all the better. I have had three teenagers go through college and have found this selection in furniture to be the best. It lasts for a long time and they can use it after they graduate for decorating their first apartment.
Student computer desks are just about obsolete now with everyone having a laptop, all they need is a table to work on. The storage trunk coffee table was my daughters idea and worked very well. My husband made a lock for it so she could store things in it with out worrying about them being stolen.
