Desks with drawers for schoolchildren

When a child goes to school, this is often accompanied by a change of furniture. One of the main pieces of furniture that a student will use every day is a desk. However, despite the mass of options offered by brands for sale, not every purchase can be called successful. Why is this happening and how to make the right choice, let's figure it out.

A writing desk for a student - furniture with its own nuances. It is not enough to buy a product of sufficient size and reasonable cost. You need to take what is comfortable for the child and will help maintain the correct posture. At the same time, we must not forget about functionality: the best table is the one that has capacious drawers for textbooks, notebooks, album, paints and other school supplies.

External examination of the product must be carried out taking into account the basic requirements. These include not only a comfortable height, which affects the child's posture. The dimensions of the countertop itself, the depth and volume of the drawers, the smoothness of the mechanism of their rolling out are important. It is worth keeping in mind the harmony of the color combination of the table with the furniture already available in the children's room.

In addition, the student's desk should not clutter up the space. Therefore, before buying it, you will have to take into account the location. You also need to make sure that the light falls from the right side, because nothing should block it when the child is busy reading or doing homework. It is impossible not to mention the preferences of the child: all items should be at hand so that, if necessary, the child can get them quickly.

Today, trade marks produce many models of desks for schoolchildren. A wide range of offers allows you to choose the option you want, taking into account the budget and footage of a particular room. Conventionally, all types can be divided into straight, angular and options, which are an integral part of the school corner. Each type of construction has its own characteristics, pros and cons. In addition, the products can be designed for one or two users.

Classic rectangular products are classified as straight or linear. They can be traditional or elongated, with boxes on one or two sides. In fact, this is a semblance of a school desk, however, it is more comfortable and functional. The location of the boxes on the product can be different, in addition to them, tables can be equipped with open or closed shelves, in which, if desired, you can hide a portfolio, extracurricular literature and items of child's hobby.

They are similar to computer desks, which can also be adapted for writing products for schoolchildren. On the one hand, they are quite functional, although on the other hand, they are not always convenient. In this case, it is worth choosing the right option individually, because rarely which model of a computer desk has closed compartments for things on both sides.As a rule, more often only one half of the structure is closed, because the second is performed to install the system unit.

However, these products are convenient because the set may include a shelf-rack. Of course, it cannot be called practical, since you will have to wipe the dust constantly. But it can be adapted for school office supplies and textbooks. Such products have no more than three boxes (maximum four). The disadvantages include the features of the tabletop, which may have special compartments for CDs, which reduces the useful area of ​​the working surface and is often not needed at all for working at the table. No pull-out keyboard panel is needed either.

Corner desks are good for small rooms. They are bought when it is necessary to use the corner of the nursery in the most rational way. The layout, of course, is not the most successful, but if there is nowhere to go, it will go too. The main thing in this case is the direction of the luminous flux, because without proper lighting, there is a great risk of visual impairment. Corner tables for schoolchildren can be both traditional and computer-based. Written varieties provide for different seating arrangements. In this case, the corner part can be located both on the left and on the right. The desired option is bought based on the characteristics of the room. This also includes L-shaped models.

Desks are made from different raw materials. By far the best material is wood. Such furniture is characterized by durability and premium appearance. Wood is an environmentally friendly material, it is not harmful to children's health and is reliable. If necessary, the solid wood table can be repaired, which cannot be said about other options.

Often, for budget-type desks, manufacturers use wood derivatives (for example, chipboard). Before buying such a product, you need to carefully study the certificate of its compliance with safety standards, since harmful substances are often used in the production of such furniture. Such products have a shorter service life, and they are inferior in strength to wooden counterparts. Sometimes durable glass is also used in production, although such options can hardly be called suitable for children.

Today, the choice of color for any furniture can only be limited by the preferences of the buyer. However, the desk should be adjusted to the working mood, so when buying it, you should choose a neutral gray color or a product in natural wood tones. Black tone is too gloomy, white - brands, colored and bright - regardless of the severity of the model can interfere with concentration. The tone of wenge oak (both light and dark), coatings in shades of walnut, alder, beech and other options in brown and brown-terracotta looks beautiful in the interior. If you plan to buy a school corner, you should give preference to beige or greenish options.

Let's briefly highlight the main points that will allow you to purchase a really high-quality and convenient product. First of all, measurements of the countertop are needed, so it will be easier to choose the desired option. Knowing the overall dimensions, it will be easier to navigate how to organize the workplace with the greatest comfort. Depending on the model, you may need space for an organizer, desk lamp, laptop, pencil case.

The number of boxes should be sufficient to accommodate all textbooks and notebooks inside. It's great if there are enough of them for sections for unprepared and already completed lessons.So the child will not need to constantly dig among the books, collecting a portfolio from the evening to school. The depth should not be great: it is better to have several boxes. At the same time, it is quite enough that large textbooks, notebooks, pencil case, pencils can be put inside the box.

The optimal width of the tabletop should be on average 80 cm. This is enough for the child to sit at the table, spreading out everything necessary in front of him. If there are meter width options in the store's assortment, you can take them too. The child is growing, and the abundance of width will allow him not to huddle at the table, which is important for the correct formation of the posture of the growing body. When buying, you need to consider the type of pens. Options with accessories with sharp edges or decor are not suitable. You can cut yourself on such handles. You need to look to make them comfortable and reliable, with good fasteners, because if the child constantly uses the drawers, the handles should not fall off.

The height of the table should be sufficient so that the student's legs do not dangle. If you do not plan to change furniture frequently, it is worth choosing the right chair with a footrest. This will extend the life of the table and promote good and beautiful posture. The light should fall from the left. Therefore, if you plan to install a table lamp, the corner version with a longer right side will not be suitable for purchase.

A small child does not need to take expensive furniture. Do not forget that during operation, stubborn dirt and damage may appear on the tabletop (traces from ballpoint pens, office knife, ink, compasses). It is better to replace the table in a few years than to worry about its safety every day, waiting for the child to learn how to be neat. You should not purchase options with a plastic finish, because in someone it can provoke an allergic reaction.

When buying, you need to pay attention to the number of users. For example, there is no need for two schoolchildren to huddle at one classic-size table. In this case, you need to either buy a product for two users, or purchase a table for each child, if the space of the nursery allows it. When examining the mechanism of the drawers, it is necessary to take into account not only the smoothness of the movement: even the material of the fittings is important. If it is of poor quality, the product will quickly break.

The required dimensions for the length of the table top can vary from 1 meter to 125 cm or more. For two children, a table with a width of 1.5-1.6 m is enough. This model will allow you to place children opposite each other, without infringing on the space of each student. At the same time, as a rule, the standard table length will be enough for them. You can also purchase an angle-type boomerang model, each side of which will have identical dimensions. So, you can also organize a workspace for two kids. However, over time, children will still want to have separate tables. And constantly adjusting the direction of the luminous flux of table lamps so that it does not hit the second student in the eyes will quickly get bored.
