The desk is the place at which the student spends quite a lot of time. Here he does lessons, draws, sculpts and plays other educational games. Therefore, his choice must be approached responsibly, because the health of the child and his enthusiasm for learning and other creative processes depend on it.

Types of children's desks

Many think what to choose desk the child is very simple, but this opinion is erroneous. And as soon as you get to the furniture store, you will see it. Desks differ from each other according to several criteria:

Colors. To date, tables for children are of very high quality, and their colors are simply limitless and have rather strange names, such as "Milan walnut", "Wenge", "Italian walnut and others. There are also products with combined colors, for example, "Wenge and Maple". Therefore, if desired, you can choose a desk that fits perfectly into any interior.
The form. Modern market Furniture offers its customers both classic rectangular tables and more modern ergonomic ones that can be rotated to either side. This table can easily be placed in the corner of the room. And although such a table has a slightly elongated surface, it is still quite compact.
Drawers and cabinets. The more the table has these elements, the more expensive the cost of the product. But do not forget that in the lower grades, the student needs to use a variety of auxiliary materials, school supplies and stationery, which should have their place. Some models have drawers or bedside tables that are locked. Many children really like it, because it gives them a place to store their little secrets and secrets.
Schoolchild's corner– this table model is completed with cabinets, hinged shelves and drawers. Such a corner is a single design composition, and saves parents from having to buy additional cabinets and shelves.
Table transformer. This is a great solution if you decide to buy a table for many years to come. In these tables, you can adjust the angle of the tabletop and the height of the legs. These tables are great for little kids.

A writing desk is the most expensive thing that parents will have to purchase while preparing their child for the first grade. Making the right choice for parents is quite difficult, because there is such a wide variety of tables on the market. Parents of a little schoolboy least of all need to pay attention to the design delights of this piece of furniture. The main priorities in the choice should be safety, environmental friendliness and convenience.

When choosing a desk for a student in grades 1-5, you need to pay attention to:

The height and width of the table. If it is too high, then you will need to purchase a special chair or a chair with adjustable height. If the table is low, then the child will hunch over while working behind it, and there will be a risk of developing a curvature of the spine. According to sanitary standards, the child should sit at the table so that his elbows are freely located on the table top, and his legs reach the floor and bend at an angle of 90 degrees;
The table top should be wide enough so that all the necessary items can be placed there, and there is enough space left for classes;
It is also necessary to remember about quality of materials from which the table is made. Most often, furniture intended for children is made of laminated chipboard, but you can also purchase a table made of solid wood, plastic or glass;
When choosing a desk, pay attention attention to fasteners, because children most often break exactly what at first glance looked pretty strong.

No home is complete without a desk. This furniture is relevant at all times, despite the pace of human development. A writing desk is an indispensable part of the interior of a nursery, a student's room, a personal office or a business person's library. This subject has been and remains the most important in the life of every person, with its help he develops, works and improves from childhood to deep gray hair.

In addition, in chic personal accounts a luxurious desk emphasizes the status and impeccable taste of its owner.

A desk and a desk for a computer are two models that are completely different in purpose and functional equipment. But often these two models are combined into one.

Features of choice

Let's figure out what qualities a desk should have.

The comfort of working at a desk is determined by the competent choice of the product itself, as well as the physical data of a person. Sitting at a desk for many hours can adversely affect the health of the back, resulting in scoliosis or kyphosis, which will inevitably entail a long and difficult treatment. It is better to avoid these consequences by competent selection of this piece of furniture.

The height of the table for an adult and for a child is very different. Let's take a look at these options.

The great constructivist and architect Le Corbusier developed a system of proportions according to which all modern furniture is made, including all types of tables. The height of the countertop directly affects the comfort of seating and health. With average human anthropometric data, Le Corbusier calculated that the standard tabletop height for an adult should be 70-80 cm.

In addition to height, the width of the countertop and its depth play an important role. For comfortable work, the minimum depth should be 60 cm, while the maximum is about 80 cm. The width of the working surface is from 1 m.

For a comfortable fit, the parameters of the chair play an important role

So, the ideal seat dimensions would be: a width of about 40 cm and a height of 42-48 cm, depending on the height of the person. This is the size of a table for an adult.

If you choose furniture for a child, you must consider the following criteria:

When the child sits down at the table, the feet should be flat on the floor. The thighs should be at right angles to the shins.
The depth of the chair should be such that when the body rests on the back of the chair, the front edge of the seat does not press under the knees.
The distance from the surface of the tabletop to the hips should be about 18 cm if there is no drawer or sliding tabletop. Otherwise, the height may be slightly less.
Elbows should lie flat on the tabletop and in no case hang down.
The correct distance from the work surface to the eyes should be equal to the length from the elbow to the fingertips of the child.

As for growth, it is better to select a table based on the following calculations:

For children up to 130 cm tall, the ideal height is 53 cm and the chair is 33 cm. The optimal difference between the chair and the table is 20 cm.
For children with a height of 130 to 145 cm, the height of the tabletop should be 58 cm and the chair 38 cm. If the height of the child is 145-165 cm, then the height of the product is 64 cm, but an adult design with a height of 70 cm is also quite suitable if the height of the chair is 20 cm below.

Thus, it becomes clear that for the student perfect option- a table-transformer with a changing height of the tabletop. Included with this model is an office chair with the ability to adjust the seat.

When choosing a children's table, take the child with you. So, you can try on each model according to the parameters of your student.

Varieties

One of the most important criteria when choosing a table is its functionality. Regardless of whether the design is chosen for an adult or for a child, it should be equally convenient and comfortable to use. An important plus will be the presence of built-in shelves where you can put notebooks, papers, documents and books, as well as stationery. Everything you need will always be at hand and the user does not have to constantly get up and look for something in additional cabinets and shelves.

In addition, manufacturers offer several types of tables.

Standard

Single pedestal. The standard option is when there is a sidewall on one side of the table, and a cabinet with drawers on the other. It can be built-in or rolling. This model is convenient, but it has little storage space, it is positioned as small-sized when desktop space is limited.
Double pedestal. Also is classic version, but with a wider table top, under which legs and 2 cabinets with drawers for everyone should fit comfortably necessary materials and items.
Table with trolley. A classic office option, also convenient for home use. The advantage of this model is that the cabinet with drawers can be used not only for storing notebooks, books and documents, but also by moving around the room, roll up to a sofa or chair, organizing an additional workplace for crafts, creativity, as well as small notes and reading.

If none of the three options completely suits you, then each of them can be successfully improved by purchasing shelves and placing them directly above the table, this will increase the storage space for textbooks and favorite books.

Complete headset

Most best option for a student, this is a complete set with a built-in table. It provides an opportunity to store all the items necessary for study and development, books, games, school medals and diplomas, as well as household items. These headsets are very expensive, but have increased functionality.

L-shaped table

Also in demand are school tables, combined with computer ones, made in the form of the letter "G". One part of the table can play the role of writing, and the second can be used to perform work on the computer. Such models are convenient for small apartments, where there is no space for a spacious workplace.

The design in the form of the letter "G" takes up little space, but is as functional as possible. In addition, the table can contain 2 movable cabinets with drawers, one of which will always be located directly under the table, and the second one is nearby, at a distance convenient for the child and used as an additional table.

Transformer

This table allows you to change the height of the racks and the slope of the tabletop, depending on the change in the growth of the student. This model costs an order of magnitude higher than the standard ones, but it is bought once and “grows” with the child. You will no longer have to buy a new product before it matures. This table can then be folded up and put away, saving space in your home.

Material selection

When choosing a table for a child, you should definitely not buy expensive models made of precious wood, as the surface will be hopelessly damaged during operation. Children draw on the work surface with pens, felt-tip pens, compasses and even scissors, as their creativity knows no bounds. On the other hand, buying a table with a cheap plastic trim also does not make sense: it can be too fragile and, moreover, toxic.

In the case of purchasing a table for a child, you should not overpay for the design, because the main thing is functionality and durability.

Take a closer look at reliable models made of chipboard or MDF. They are beautiful in the interior and quite reliable in operation.

When choosing a table for an adult, the question of choosing materials is different:

Nothing beats a strong, durable table from solid wood. Possessing status and noble appearance, wooden table will serve you for many years. This is not only a functional thing, but also a worthy element of the interior. A good desk should be equipped with drawers for storing important documents. It can also be equipped with a rolling bollard. If you plan to work not only with paper media, but also use a laptop or PC, then the desk should be equipped with technological holes for the wires of equipment and a table lamp.
In second place after wood are materials such as MDF and chipboard, they have:

Durability.
High wear resistance.
A variety of colors and textures, which allows you to perfectly match the color of the table to the rest of the furniture in the room.

The right workplace for the student, allowing you to maintain good posture and vision of the child

The depth should be such that when the child's back touches the back of the chair, his legs do not touch the seat. In practice, this is at least 0.3 meters. BUT optimal width stool is considered a value equal to 2/3 of the surface of the thigh.

Compliance of the presented furniture with the interior of the room should not escape the attention of the buyer, but nevertheless this is a secondary issue. The main thing is that the child likes the table. In the selection process, parents should pay attention to the quality of the fasteners.

Another popular design principle is the transforming table. It is adjusted to the growth of the child, so this product is used longer than the usual varieties of children's furniture.

Table making

Table dimensions

To make it easier for parents to choose the correct dimensions of furniture, it is necessary to consider a drawing of a desk with dimensions for a student (presented below). So that the child can freely lay out his notebooks, textbooks, width working area must be at least 60 cm, and the length must be 120 cm.

I - table length (120 cm).

II - table width (60 cm).

If there is a laptop or computer on a regular rectangular table, the dimensions of the equipment must be taken into account. The furniture will be even wider and longer. In this case, special varieties of tables will help to organize correctly. It is also important to choose the right height.

The distance from the floor to the countertop should correspond to the height of the child. So that he does not slouch, the desk should be high enough.

But if this parameter exceeds the norm, the legs of a small student will not reach the floor. It is very uncomfortable. There are other sizes to consider when choosing.

Table options

When choosing the size of a desk for a student in accordance with GOST, it is necessary to pay attention to a number of other parameters. It should be noted that the desk is selected simultaneously with the chair. When the child sits behind her, his feet should be on the floor. The knees should be bent at an angle of 90º.

There should be enough free space under the table. If there are drawers, the distance for the child's legs should be 45 cm long and at least 50 cm wide.

You also need to pay attention to the angle of the table top. Ideally, if it is 30 °. If the furniture is without a slope, you need to purchase a stand for books, notebooks.

How to check the correctness of the choice

The optimal size of a desk for a student should be selected together with the child. You need to ask the baby to sit on a chair. Elbows are free. In this case, the shoulders should not be raised. Feet are on the floor. The distance from them to the countertop should be 15 cm.

If the height is chosen correctly, the surface of the furniture will be at the level of the solar plexus of the child.

There is another simple test that allows you to evaluate the correct height of the furniture. When the student sits at the table, you need to ask him to put his hands in front of him. Next, with the tip of the middle finger, the child should reach the eye. If this condition is met, the choice is correct.

Additional equipment

Various additional elements may have desks for schoolchildren. The rules listed above will help determine the sizes. But the dimensions of the furniture also depend on its configuration.

To avoid chaos in the workplace, various shelves and drawers will be required. Various bedside tables may also be included. Such additional elements must be on wheels. This will allow you to freely move the bedside tables if necessary.

Shelves above the table can be open. Drawers in the table are also needed. Some doors can be locked with a key. This will enable the child to feel his personal space, to keep some of his secrets.

The approximate height of the desktop for the height of the student

It will be easier for you to decide which desk to buy for your child, given his physique. We give a classification not by class, but by height, such an individual approach is more convenient:

for height from 110 to 115 cm - you need a table 46 cm high;
from 115 to 130 cm - height 52 cm;
from 130 to 145 cm - height 58 cm;
from 145-160 cm - height 63 cm;
from 160 to 175 cm - height 70 cm;
from 175 cm - height 76 cm.

You should not use a table and chair that is not suitable for height, as you can quickly damage your back. Posture deteriorates sometimes irreversibly, it is extremely difficult to restore it, along with this, not only aesthetic troubles arise, but also a number of health problems in general.

Optimal dimensions of the workplace for schoolchildren

table depth - from 60 centimeters;
tabletop width - from 1 meter;
free leg area - an area measuring 50 by 50 centimeters.

If the table meets the specified standards, it will be convenient to use and will not harm the health of the child.

the workplace of the student should be comfortable and bright

Adjustable desks for schoolchildren

The dimensions of the tables determine the comfort and health of the students. It is believed that due to an improperly selected desktop, diseases of the back often develop, which are manifested by pain, curvature of the spine, ugly posture and all the negative consequences arising from these factors. Despite the abundance of options for workplaces for schoolchildren, we advise you to consider ergonomic models that provide adjustment for a particular child. It develops, the size of the body increases, along with this, its table can also be rebuilt.

If you decide to use a table with adjustments, then look for such models where you can vary the angle of inclination, the height of the tabletop. It is convenient to sit at a table with an inclined board, write, draw, read. Together with such a table it is good to have adjustable chair where you can adjust the seat height and backrest angle. A first-grader at 6-7 years old has one height, and after six months or a year he can become much taller and he will already need a different working area. Given that the child is constantly growing, such furniture can be used for more than one year, it is convenient and economical. Many consider it impractical to change the workplace every year, so there is no demand for adjustable tables today.
