School desk: how to choose

First, the desk is designed for adults who already know how to keep a correct posture (well, ideally, of course). The child is only learning this, his spine is still forming. A school desk for a schoolboy should be done taking into account the anatomical features of children of this age, to help form a correct posture.

Secondly, children grow fast, and heighta desk is usually not regulated. There are two options: if you bought a table of suitable height, when the child grows up, he will start to hunch, because the table will become too low. If you bought a table "for growth", the child will try to reach the countertop, the result - the curvature of the spine. And for good desks height is regulated, so the school desk will grow with it.

To choose a desk it is necessary together with the child that in shop he could sit at a school desk, tried to write or draw - in general, you should be able to make sure that the desk is really comfortable. But, of course, long hikes with the younger studentshopping is a dubious pleasure for both parents and the child. Therefore, it is worthwhile first to look after a few desks, and then comes with the child "for fitting."

What should be a good school desk for a student? If you are not going to update the furniture in the near future, you need to choose a desk with adjustable height (desk-transformer). Sufficiently wide adjustment rangewill not change the desk up to the senior classes. The mechanism of adjustment should be light and traumatic-safe (so that the child, if possible, could change the height of the desk) and at the same time reliable, with good fixation (so that the tabletop unexpectedly does not "collapse" downwards).

Also school desk for the student should have the adjustment of not only the height, but also the angle of inclination of the countertop. In junior classes for writing, reading, drawingadvise to use the countertop with a slope, the elder need a level table. So it is desirable to choose a desk in which the angle of inclination is adjustable in the range from 0 to 16 degrees. The requirements for the tilt adjustment mechanism are the same as for the height adjustment mechanism.

At all, The entire design of the desk must be safe for the child. Choose a desk with a strong frame. It should not have protruding elements, for which you can hook. The school desk must be stable for the student, do not stagger and do not slide on the floor. It is desirable that its corners are rounded.

If you have a small apartment, you should pay attention to the size of the desks. A school desk for a schoolboy can be both large andcompact enough, it is clear that the smaller the room, the more compact the desk (but not at the expense of the convenience of the child!). For very small rooms there are corner desks.

Very important and the material from which the desk is made. It should be environmentally friendly, do not release formaldehyde and other hazardous substances. Be sure to ask the seller for a certificate certifying the safety of the desk. Of course, the ideal is a desk for a schoolboy made of wood, but these desks are more expensive. Anyway, cover desks should not be glossy, brilliant - it will blink, the result - rapid eye fatigue and problems with eyesight. The worktop should be easy to clean.

Additional "bonuses" that will help make the final choice, all other things being equal, may be accessories. For example, some desks are supplied with supports fordifferent types of flooring (hard and soft). A hook for hanging a knapsack, a drawer, a movable ruler, a book shelf, a writing tray are not necessary elements, but useful.

Even the ability to choose from several colors can also tip the scales towards a particular model. But the color of the desk should not be too bright, it will distract and tire the child.

Finally, The school desk should be liked by the student himself. Still, this child will work for her infor several years, not you. Therefore, be sure to reckon with his opinion. In addition, the child will be proud that his parents listen to him, are interested in his opinion.

To the desk you need to buy a chair. Usually special orthopedic chairsare sold complete with a school desk. It should be not too hard and not too soft, to help maintain a correct posture. The chair also needs a comfortable and safe height adjustment mechanism, as well as a depth of sitting.

Correctly selected school desk for the student - a pledge of good health and good school performance.
