If polymer coating made of high quality material and in compliance with all norms technological process, then the cost of such desk will be from the category of high price brackets. In this case, it is better to pay attention to furniture made of safer and more practical materials.

The health of the student depends on the size of the desk - back diseases, unfortunately, most often develop at such a young age precisely because of the wrong choice of the table. Doctors recommend to adhere to the following parameters when buying:

• width - a meter or more;
• depth - 60 cm or more;
• place for the location of the lower limbs - 50x50 cm.

On the market are various models desks for a student, but experts recommend paying attention to models with the ability to adjust the height and angle of inclination - as a rule, such pieces of furniture are purchased for use for several years. What can be considered conditional:

• the height of the child is 110-115 cm - the height of the countertop from the edge to the floor should be 46 cm;
• the height of the child is 115-130 cm - the height of the countertop from the edge to the floor should be 52 cm;
• child height 130-145 cm - the table should be located at a height of 58 cm (from the edge of the furniture to the floor);
• child height 145-160 cm - make sure that the height of the table is 63 cm;
• the height of the child is 160-175 cm - the table must be at least 70 cm above the floor;
• the height of the child is 175 cm and above - the height of the tabletop from the edge to the floor cannot be less than 76 cm.

The child grows quickly, changing the desk every year is at least impractical, so adjustable models of the piece of furniture in question will become optimal solution.

When choosing a desk, experts recommend taking its future owner with you to shopping center- so the child can "try on" the furniture. Let the student sit at the table - the level of the edge of the tabletop should be at the level of the solar plexus. Pay attention to how the legs are located - they should not be tucked in, and the feet should be placed absolutely straight and completely on the floor.

The choice of a desk for a student by functionality

What is a desk in a child's room? This is not only a place of study, but also a "warehouse" of notebooks, leaflets, pens and pencils, books and notes - in general, various "trash" that is important and significant for a child. And there will be a lot. That is why you need to select a desk not only in appearance and size (although these parameters are also very important), but also in terms of its level of functionality. What manufacturers offer:

Of course, there is a way out of any situation - for example, to purchase a single-pedestal desk in the children's room, but above it, install shelves for storing books and textbooks. Corner desks are offered as a separate view in stores - a good solution for small spaces. As a rule, only one bedside table is provided in such models, so you will have to take care of additional storage places for the student's supplies.

Note:L-shaped corner desks can be used both for studying at the computer and for doing lessons. But for the location of just such models of the type of furniture in question, a lot of space will be needed.

Experts call the optimal solution the purchase of a one-piece headset for a children's room. It will turn out to compactly place not only the child’s workplace and places for storing school / educational supplies, but also provide shelves, drawers, baskets for storing toys, things, household items. Yes, such one-piece headsets are expensive, but their level of quality and functionality is very high.

Choosing a chair for the student's desk

It is very important not only to choose the “right” desk, but also to be able to choose a chair for it - his health will depend on how comfortable and correctly the child sits when working at the table. The main requirement for a chair is that the seat and back must be rigid. But that's not all - be sure to remember what height the seat of the chair should be for the student, depending on the height of the latter.

• child height 115-130 cm - the height of the chair from the floor to the edge of the seat should be 30 cm;
• child height 130-145 cm - the distance between the edge of the seat and the floor should be 34 cm;
• child height 145-160 cm - the height of the edge of the seat from the floor should be 38 cm;
• child height 160-175 cm - from the floor to the edge of the seat should be 42 cm;
• height of the child above 175 cm - the described distance should be 46 cm.

When you have already purchased both a desk for the student and a chair, then carefully monitor how the child is located at the workplace. Doctors claim that proper fit should look like this:

• the child's legs are completely on the floor (on a full foot);
• elbows are on the desk;
• the back of the student is parallel to the back of the chair and tightly pressed against it;
• between the edge of the tabletop and the child's solar plexus, his palm should fit.

How to arrange a desk in a child's room

Of course, it all depends on the size of the children's room, but there are a few key points to consider.:

• the table should be well lit - optimal light should fall from the side;
• a good option is to install a desk directly near the window, but in this case it will need to be moved away from the heating radiator by 15-20 cm - this will protect the child from drafts and too dry air, save the furniture;
• if the desk is corner, then it must be placed in the corner that is closest to the window;
• if you are equipping a children's room for two, then the table should be near the window, have one tabletop, but two chairs and a conditional division of the workspace.

Exist state standards with completely different criteria. According to them, the manufacturer is obliged to make the height such that the product can withstand the expected load. The famous architect Le Corbusier paid attention to such a factor as ease of use in a sitting position.

Conclusion

Tables usually have a standard height, taking into account the average growth value. Surfaces for standing work tend to be higher. But there are exceptions: a massage table can be adjusted and made quite low - about 55 cm from the floor. The height of the working kitchen surface and the dining table are selected depending on the parameters of the lower person. At the same time, writing, computer and desktops are selected based on the needs of a tall person. Chairs with adjustable height compensate for inconvenience.

For efficient and fast work the child needs a comfortable table with various devices. Orthopedic chairs will help maintain your posture.

Approaching the choice of such an interior item as a desk for a student, consultants recommend fulfilling a number of requirements, as general ones - dimensions desk, and individual. So that work at the table does not turn into torture, the child does not quickly get tired and does not spoil his posture.

Table height

The choice of a desk is a very important and responsible purchase for parents, especially a first-grader. Indeed, at this age, the child's skeleton is not yet formed, and it is very easy to earn a curvature of the spine. The right product will last long years. First of all, the size is taken into account, which is selected individually for the height of the child, such standards are established by GOST. Every furniture store salesperson should know them. There are 5 categories labeled with a letter or color to make it easier to understand.

dimensions

Also important are the dimensions of the desk for the student. So that the child can easily place textbooks, notebooks and other school supplies on it. The minimum width should be 60, and the length should be at least 120 cm. There should also be room under the furniture. If the product has drawers, the free space for the student's legs must be at least 45 in length and 50 centimeters in width.

When sitting at a desk, the child's feet should reach the floor. The distance between the edge of the furniture and the chest should be about 8-10 cm.

A desk for a student can also have additional equipment. Based on this, its overall dimensions may increase.

There are many models with a do-it-yourself tabletop height, which is very convenient, because a table is not a cheap purchase, and children, as a rule, grow very quickly.

Models, color and quality

Children's desks with and without shelves can be of different models, qualities and colors. Depending on the area of ​​the room, you can choose a large L-shaped desk, which will also have a place both for written work and for working at a computer, or, on the contrary, a small corner one. The product, which has many drawers and shelves, will be very convenient for the student, because there he can put all his textbooks, notebooks and other school supplies. He will also learn to order, that everything should have its place. Since the student will have to spend a lot of time at the desk, it will be good to make this place comfortable for the child. The drawers on the locks available in the table will be a good addition, as the child will have inner peace that you can keep your secrets there.

The lines and corners of the table should be smooth, without sharp protrusions, otherwise it’s not far from injury.

A high-quality desk should be straight, without bumps and hooks. The surface should not be too soft, otherwise such a table will not last long.

A soft surface indicates that the product is made of low-quality plastic. And in addition to fragility, it can also be dangerous to the health of the child.

The color of the table can be any. But you should not choose very bright, catchy shades, they will distract the attention of the child, especially the first grader. Warm, light, wood-like or yellowish tones of the table contribute to coziness and psychological comfort. Dark colors help to better concentrate and tune in to a serious mood.

Main characteristics

• Have a place for a computer (not bad, but not necessary);

• adult desk.

Choosing a table for an adult is not such a difficult undertaking, but there are also some nuances, because a person who is in the office all day, or at home, should be comfortable in the office. In addition to comfort, furniture should fit into the interior of the room, whether it is a table of a big boss, to which subordinates and partners constantly enter the office, or designed for a home office.

Overall dimensions are not strictly limited here, but in order to properly distribute the load on the spine, you should pay attention to the height of the tabletop, it should be slightly above the level of the solar plexus. When choosing a product, it is best to sit down at it right in the store and check how comfortable it is.

Materials for production

• Glass;

• Chipboard. Does not shine with quality, but has a low price. Wears out quickly, fragile, can emit toxic substances over time, which is not very good for a person;
• MDF. The cost is slightly more expensive than chipboard, in fact, it is still the same compressed wood, but it is safe for health, more durable and looks more attractive in appearance. Is a replacement for natural wood;
• Ordinary wood;
• Plastic. Cheap, easy to lift, but not durable material. It is worth purchasing with caution, as some varieties can cause headaches and poisoning. It is best to check the furniture quality certificate from the seller;
• Glass;

Functionality

When choosing a desk, you need to clearly define for yourself what qualities it should have, how spacious it should be, what it will be used for, what the height of the desk will be. How furniture can be equipped.

• Movable drawers and built-in cabinets;
• Sliding panel for the keyboard;
• Internal niches for power supplies;
• Speaker stands;
• Add-ons for books, papers, pens and pencils, shelving.

When choosing a table, whether it is for a child or for an adult, you first need to remember that the furniture should be comfortable and safe, and only then beautiful.

The height of a desk designed for a student is extremely important, because in fact it is the first workplace where a child spends a lot of time. The piece of furniture named above must meet certain requirements and also be:

• convenient;
• functional;
• safe.

As a rule, parents purchase a table in such a way that the student can use it for many years, that is, until the end of training.

In general, the presence of your own corner and the correct organization of space in n
It helps to facilitate the process of preparing for classes and accustom the child to order.

Optimal dimensions

The table should be chosen as a working surface with a length of at least 100 centimeters - this will allow you to freely place on it all the items and reference materials necessary for study.

The standard width is 60 cm. If you plan to install a computer, then take a more spacious model - 120 by 80 cm.

The permissible height is described in a special document - GOST 11015-93. In particular, it states that for younger students:

• with growth up to 85 cm, a workplace of at least 34 cm is required;
• from 85 to 100 - 40;
• 101-115 – 46;
• 116-130 – 52;
• 131-145 – 58;
• 146-160 – 64.

For an older student and an adult (160-175 cm), the standard is 7 dm. In addition, below, so that nothing interferes with the legs, it is necessary to have at least half a meter of free square space.

As practice shows, to a large extent, the spread of scoliosis among schoolchildren is facilitated by the wrong selection of furniture for them.

In addition to those described above technical parameters desk, it is also important that your son or daughter likes it. For this reason, when going to the store, they should be taken with you. This approach has a number of undeniable advantages. First of all, you can try on the selected model right on the spot.

Per right table the student will sit with a straight back and legs bent at right angles and elbows loosely resting on the table top. Its edge at the same time falls directly on the level of the solar plexus.

How many centimeters of free space should be left between the knees and the underside of the work surface? This distance is not less than 15 and not more than 10 cm.

There is another way to make sure that the selected student table is perfect for you:

• seat the child for him;
• let him straighten his back and put his elbow on the work surface;
• his middle finger at the same time, it should freely reach up to outer corner eyes.

The most convenient models are with adjustment. As the height of the child increases, the countertop also rises on them. As a result, the student never experiences any inconvenience. Accordingly, his posture is also preserved. It is best to choose the option with telescopic legs - it is the most reliable and safe.

Curbstones at the table can be placed both on the left and on the right, it does not really matter. But it’s better not to take options without them, because the child has a lot of things that need to be stored somewhere. If notebooks, textbooks and writing utensils are not allocated space, then they will most likely take up the entire countertop.

Do not take models from sharp corners and ends - younger children are often injured about them.

The material as a whole is not fundamental at all. It is desirable that top coat was durable. Lacquer in this sense is not very reliable and durable. Laminated MDF or plastic have proven themselves much better. Just remember that some materials emit toxic substances during operation, so be sure to ask the seller to present a certificate of conformity for the product.

It is good if the work surface is matte - it does not reflect and does not irritate
eyes reflected sunbeams and lamp light. Make sure that the edges are of good quality - they are usually in modern furniture the weakest point.

The ideal legs are metal. They don't scratch or chip.

Remember, how comfortable a child feels at his workplace, to a large extent depends on his attitude to learning.

Other Options

If for high school students the slope of the working surface does not matter, then for younger children it is important. Therefore, this parameter should not be ignored. In particular, doctors emphasize that such tables are more ergonomic and better maintain posture and vision.

As practice shows, parents still prefer to choose standard models because they always last much longer. In this situation, we recommend purchasing an additional stand that has desired angle tilt.

In addition, many domestic producers supply tables with adjustable surfaces to the market. When choosing a place to study at home, pay attention to the lighting and the presence of an outlet. The latter is most likely required for a computer, or at least a table lamp.

Color

This parameter is just as important as the others previously described. Psychologists believe that the child's attitude to classes depends to a large extent on the correct selection of colors.

excessive bright colors, in particular:

• divert attention;
• annoying;
• burden the eyes.

Optimal palette:

• grey;
• brown;
• coffee;
• beige.

Two-level structures

AT small apartment or if there is a need to place a computer on the table, choose models with several levels. This allows you to make the most efficient use of all free space and ensure order in the workplace of the child.

Make sure that the monitor is at least 70 centimeters from the student's eyes. Corner tables are ideal in this sense. For them, there is certainly a place even in very small rooms.

Also very practical option is a table in the shape of the letter "L". One part of it is allocated for a computer, and the second is used to work with textbooks and complete written assignments.

The organization of workplaces for staff is one of the key issues in office equipment. They must be comfortable and meet the requirements.

The main elements of the modern workplace of any office employee are office tables, chairs, and computers. It should be remembered that, in accordance with sanitary standards, the distance between office tables should be at least two meters, while the area per workplace should be at least 4.5 m² (at least 6 m² if a person works at a CRT monitor). Workplace should be organized in such a way that the employee has the opportunity to change the working posture and not create muscle overload. Proper organization jobs for 90% depends on how well selected office tables and office chairs.

What requirements do they have to meet? should be designed in such a way that everything necessary for work is conveniently placed on their surface. Tables can be both with unregulated and with adjustable height of the working surface. Adjustable height should vary from 680 to 800 mm., and the mechanism for its adjustment should be easily accessible, easily controlled, and have a secure fit. If the working surface is unregulated, then its height should be 725 mm. As for the dimensions of the working surface of office tables, the depth should be at least 600 (800) mm, width - at least 1200 (1600) mm. In addition, the edges and corners of the working surface of the office desk should not be sharp. Legroom at the office desk should be at least 600mm high and at least 500mm wide, and at least 450mm deep at knee height and at least 650mm at outstretched legs. The keyboard stand must be adjustable in height and allow the keyboard to be placed at a distance of 100-300 mm from the edge. Monitor screens should be 600-700 mm from the eyes, but not closer than 500.

armchairs office workers should, first of all, maintain a rational working posture, allow it to be changed to reduce static muscle tension in the neck, shoulders and back, and also exclude the possibility of disturbing blood circulation in the legs. They should be chosen taking into account the height of the user, the nature and duration of his work.

Armchairs for employees must be equipped with a lifting and turning mechanism, and the angles of inclination of the seat and backrest must be adjustable in height and in the distance of the backrest from leading edge seats. To reduce static tension in the muscles of the arms, employee chairs are equipped with stationary or removable armrests, which can be adjusted in height above the seat and in the internal distance between them. It is especially convenient when the regulation of each position is carried out independently, easily, and securely fixed.

The seat surface of the chairs must have a width and depth of at least 400 mm. and, ideally, the ability to change the angle of the seat surface from 15° forward to 5° back is needed. The seat height must be adjustable between 400 and 550 mm. And the height of the backrest should be 300 (plus or minus 20) mm, and the width should be at least 380 mm. The angle of the backrest must be adjustable from 0° to 30° from the vertical position, and the distance of the backrest from the front edge of the seat must be from 260 to 400 mm. The length of the armrests must be at least 250 mm, the width - 50-70 mm, and their height above the seat - adjustable within 230 mm, while the internal distance - between 350 and 500 mm.

It is also important to place the furniture that makes up the workplaces of employees. Office tables should be placed so that computer monitors are oriented sideways with respect to light sources, and natural light fell on the left. If these are the workplaces of employees whose work is creative, requires a significant concentration of attention or high mental stress, then they should be isolated from each other by partitions.
