Baby Furniture South Africa

Little Legends designs and manufactures beautiful baby and nursery furniture in Cape Town, South Africa. Our baby furniture is cleverly designed to to be both beautiful and functional, ensuring your babies nursery looks great, but also works well.

The most important item in any nursery is the Changing Table/Compactum which gets used every day for over three years. It is at the changing table that you will be dressing your baby, brushing your babies hair, applying creams, and yes, changing many many nappies.

Key features of a babies compactum are the following:
Depth - The compactum should be at least 600mm deep. This is the length of a changing mat and it is infinitely easier to change a baby straight on rather than side on.

The compactum should also have a rail or ridge around the edge. Once your baby is old enough to move, the won't stop moving, and everything within reach will be pushed and pulled. Furthermore, babies are very wrigley, and are quite capable of wiggling their way right of the edge of the changing table.

Other items are nice to have on a compactum. Firstly, drawers on rollers, to ensure the drawers are easily opened and closed when you have one hand holding onto a wriggling baby. Deep compactum drawers and extra storage space is helpful as babies tend to have masses of creams, lotions and ointments that need regular application whilst changing.

If you can get all the above in a changing table that also looks good in your home then you are in luck. Our most popular compactums have a vintage look to them and are painted in our signature antique white with our special aging effect. You can choose handles that match the other furniture in your home or use our standard vintage handles.
