Quick answer
Start from the venue, not the furniture list
For child-sized furniture, make age group + stable base + rounded edges visible in the plan before quantities or supplier scope are approved.
Details to settle first
- Decision anchor: age group + stable base + rounded edges.
- Mark the child-sized furniture assumptions directly on the floor plan or quote brief.
- Quantity, access and timing changes should route through a single named approver.
