Features and types of height-adjustable children's tables
Many parents are trying to buy a wooden writing desk for their child long before going to school. After all, even then there is a need to write, draw and, in general, get used to this kind of occupation.
But it is very important to buy not just a beautiful piece of furniture that fits into the design, but also to maintain health.
Peculiarities
The wrong selection of a table for writing, drawing, drawing and reading threatens:
- curvature of the spine;
- continuous tension of some muscles and insufficient loading of others;
- the habit of taking the wrong posture (it is very difficult to correct it later);
- visual fatigue and even premature vision problems.
How changing the height solves this problem
A high-quality children's table, adjustable in height, seems to grow with the child, keeping up with his physical development. This is very important, since very few parents can afford to buy a piece of furniture from scratch once a year. And even the majority of those who have such an opportunity, it is better to purchase more important and relevant goods instead of a desk.
At the same time, the situation is excluded when children grow up, and the tables turn out to be too small for them, create inconvenience.
But we must remember that the designs on the market are very diverse, and not all models should be equally trusted.
Selection recommendations
If the smallest children are to sit at the desk, you can focus on plastic products. They are soft, practical (easy to clean) and do not cause discomfort. However, the problem is that such designs are only good at preschool age. If it is planned that the same children will sit at this table after moving from kindergarten to school, or their older brothers and sisters, another thing is needed. And the point is not only that it is frivolous and becomes not very convenient.
For full-fledged training, strict geometric shapes and the absence of the slightest decorations are very necessary. If this requirement is not met, the table will only distract from the main activity. At the same time, the loads on it grow, and only structures with a steel frame are guaranteed to withstand them.
In addition, the environmental benefits and comfort of using wood tables do not justify the limited set of stable positions. The metal sliding system is much more flexible and allows you to always select the most advantageous position from an orthopedic point of view.
A very common mistake is when they only care about choosing a table, buying a chair, "which one comes across by chance." There is an unshakable rule: if one piece of furniture is adjustable in height, the second must also have such an adjustment. Attempts to simply use the highest option will only spoil the case. The best approach, of course, is to use a single kit.
In any case, you must carefully read the instructions and seek the presentation of certificates of conformity.
Device and types
The most popular and convenient type of customizable table for children is equipped with paired legs that are connected from the bottom using a footrest. In addition to the main function, the supports help just to adjust the angle of inclination. Countertop geometry can vary greatly. Sometimes they acquire an angular type, which is compact. However, most tasks are still much easier to solve if the table is rectangular.
When selecting furniture, it is recommended to count on placing it near a window. The number of colors is very large, so when selecting them, you can focus strictly on personal preferences. And, of course, on the interior of the room where the table will stand. Important: in some cases, the choice is not justified by the strict classics, but by a more ergonomic modern design that can turn in any direction.
Such products can, if necessary, move the table to a corner.
Do not get carried away with the number of bedside tables and drawers. If they are not needed in practice, then only in vain raise the price. An exception is the selection of a table for primary school students. Neither they themselves, nor even their parents can immediately pick up a suitable number of additional parts and their spectrum. Especially now, when the school curriculum is changing very quickly and unpredictably.
At an older age, it is already possible to select a table for this parameter more thoughtfully. But it is desirable that some of the bedside tables or drawers be locked, this allows you to maintain personal space. For long-term use, transforming models are suitable. They are clearly more expensive than simple options, but the investments are justified by the fact that they are made for the entire or almost the entire school period.
Another consideration: design performance is less important than practicality and convenience.
