IKEA is your friend

For book cases look at Kallax.
For clothes I would kondo fold them into IKea Scubb boxes. We have the big Hemmes drawer because you can also fit bed sets in their easily. But any of their drawers are fine.
If you want a wardrobe then just buy a normal wardrobe and a second pole and put it lower down.

I wouldn’t buy furniture specifically for toddler or you will be replacing it in a couple of years.

GLTC do good kid storage and bookshelves, and wall shelves with hooks below.

For furniture, I’d buy a full size wardrobe / chest of drawers and secure to wall. Toddler furniture doesn’t usually last long, especially with young children using it. Drawer runners etc usually break quite quickly. Cotswold Co does good wooden drawers without runners - long and low ones work well, and you can put their toys on top if you have space.

Ikea. My children have had their bedroom furniture since they were babies . Early teens now and it's only just starting to look like it needs replacing.

Noa and Nani

We got dds bed and toy storage from there, great service. Similar in style to GLTC but cheaper

I'd go secondhand and paint it, that way you reduce environmental impact , save money and get something individual.

Noa and Nani here too. Excellent customer service and things we have had have been great.

Has anyone seen ikeas new stuva range it has a pull out wardrobe and then baskets at the side but looks like a cupboard/sideboard. It looks great in the living room/hallway. I was thinking of getting one for the living room as it’s the same measurements of the kallax unit only a few cms wider.
