A couple expecting a child might be looking to a bright future for their offspring, but when it comes to decorating a nursery, they need to think more about the future of the furniture they are buying.

Chad Beatty, the owner of JM Beatty Furniture, 2780 Oneida Valley Road, Parker, said parents need to take the long view when it comes to nursery furniture.

“The first thing I would do is buy for tomorrow, not today. Get a chest or a set of drawers or a nightstand that they can grow into,” he said. “That way you don’t have to buy new furniture.”

“I wouldn’t purchase nursery furniture because in a short time, less than five years, you’re going to be selling it for half of what you paid for it,” he said.
