Parents, child-care workers & teachers... 8Qus. for childs' multifunctional desk/storage product?

I'd would be infinitely grateful if I could just take 2 minutes of your time for a worth while survey. You will influence the design of a product that could be sold in stores! 1. Do you currently have a child's furniture product that seats a number of children and can be used to store objects such as toys, games, etc. ? - Yes - No If yes, what do you like about the design, or how would you improve it? 2. Would a multifunctional seating (storage + desk) product for children aged 3-8 be beneficial to you as a parent, or in your work? - Yes - No 3. Do you find problems with trying to store all your child's belongings (at home or work) ? - Yes - No 4. What materials would you prefer a child's seating product to be made from? - Wood - Plastic - Metal - Fabrics - Foam - Other (please specify) 5. How much are you willing to pay for a large, multifunctional seating and storage product (Australian dollars) - Less than $100 - $100-200 - $200-400 - $400-600 - $600+ 6. What kinds of products do you especially need storage for? (You can choose more than one). - Small, soft, eg. stuffed toys - Larger, heavier objects, eg. scooters, sports gear - Multi-piece toys eg. puzzles, sets, leggo - Books and boxed toys (like board games, etc.) - School equipment, eg. stationary, bags, etc. - Art and craft things - Other (please specify) 7. How much (on a scale of 0-10) does the environmental impact of a product concern you, [ie. does it affect your decision to buy that product]? 8. How do you feel about the idea of modern furniture inspired by the aesthetics of the rubiks cube? - That sounds very appealing - It could appeal to my children, but that is not to my design tastes - I would not like that at all Thank you SO much to those who answer this survey!

1. 1 no 2 no - i do not use desks in my daycare, my daycare is about fun & play, it's not a school environment 3 no - i have toy boxes for that 4 somthing sturdy, yet not hard or sharp, yet can easily be wiped clean, probably plastic 5 because I'm a daycare provider, I don't make much money, so it's have to be inexpensive 6 plastic bins for separating certain items works well for me, all sizes are needed 7 depends on what it is 8 humm, i wonder what it looks like, how functional it is, how safe it is, how bulky it is, how easy to clean it is, how sturdy it is, how appealing it looks
2. Foam material is being used in the medical industry as well!
3. While getting information on Sports Products might not always be easy, you might want to look into that option nevertheless. We had very good responses from people who tried Sports Products Blog and have not heard any negatives in that regards. So it is defintely recommended.
