Best children’s furniture store: Kids Supply Company
The exclusive offerings at this design studio and retail store made it your pick for best children’s furniture. The shop, which has outposts in Manhattan and Connecticut, wasn’t on our original ballot—it won in a write-in campaign. Clearly, parents are passionate about its jaunty collections of midcentury modern to Swedish Country, all well made, sophisticated and cheery, from a store that stocks everything from baby bedding to adult furniture. If you’re the kind of person who’d rather eat lug nuts than haul your buns to Ikea, head to Kids Supply Company, where you’ll pay a bit more but avoid the prefab frustration. 1343 Madison Ave between 94th and 95th Sts (212-426-1200, kidssupply.com).

Runner up
Mini Jake 178 North 9th St between Bedford and Driggs Aves (718-782 2005, minijake.com). Subway: L to Bedford Ave.
