A desk is an almost irreplaceable piece of furniture in any apartment. And no matter how much we think that this furniture is a relic of the past, we categorically disagree with this. Almost every home successfully uses and finds application for this piece of furniture. Whether it's a schoolchild's or student's room, an office business man or workplace businesswoman. In large offices, an expensive desk is also an indicator of a certain status of its owner.

There are no critical differences between a computer and a desk, as such. But still they exist. Let's talk about some of them:

• stand or compartment for the system unit. Main distinguishing feature computer furniture. The desk is missing as an extra and unnecessary detail;
• speaker stands. Small shelves on the superstructure. Most often located on the sides of it. Available in almost all computer rooms and not found in any desk;
• pull-out shelf for the keyboard located under the table top. A very convenient item for computer furniture. If you don’t need to print anything at the moment, it simply slides in and doesn’t take up space. In principle, it is not needed on a desk;
• cable channel and holes for wires. Even if you work on a laptop while sitting at your desk, there is clearly no need for wires. Charger As a rule, it is connected to the laptop overnight, and during operation the mobile gadget is powered by a battery and does not need a power cord;
• leather finish on the table top. This technique is often used in exclusive and expensive writing furniture. It is not only beautiful, but also practical. In computer furniture models this type no finishing is applied;
• monitor mount. In some models of computer desks, special mounts are made on the tabletop in which the screen of the “smart machine” is fixed. They are not included in writing products because they are completely unnecessary.

But despite many design differences, these interior items are undoubtedly similar. Particular similarities can be observed between their computer “brothers”. And there are few differences in the dimensions of the tables. In general, based on all the qualities of writing and computer furniture, we can conclude that they are close relatives and do not differ very significantly. And in many ways they are even similar.

Do you know how high a desk should be? Read about this in the next section.

Note that even a fragile girl can assemble a desk from scrap materials. Don't believe me? Then watch the following video:

Product parameters

For adults

Let's mention the parameters of desks. In some articles in this section, we thought about the size of desks in the context of the convenience of their placement in an office or work area. But the conversation about dimensions tied to anthropometric data did not come up, or this topic was mentioned in passing. And it is no less important than the parameters of furniture in the interior. Let's look at it in more detail.

The comfort of working at a desk largely depends on the size of the human body and right choice furniture parameters. According to the Modulor, which was designed by the great French-Swiss designer and architect Le Corbusier, special proportions have been identified. Everything is done according to them modern furniture, including desks. The comfort of seating and health are affected by only one single parameter - the height of the table.

Le Corbusier based on average height ordinary person concluded that the height desk according to the standard, it should be no lower than seventy centimeters, but no higher than eighty, with rare exceptions. But this is a special case; we rarely meet giants and very small people in our lives. The proportions are calculated for the bulk of people living on Earth. Desk tables are made from them. Average height of all inhabitants of our planet, by which the height was calculated, is one hundred eighty-three centimeters.

For comfortable work, such a parameter as the length of the table is also important. The length of the table is the distance from its left edge to the right edge relative to the person sitting at the workplace. The minimum length of the tabletop must be at least sixty centimeters. This minimum size is necessary for the comfortable work of one adult. We emphasize the word minimal in this statement; it is desirable that the length of the workplace be greater.

The distance for the legs (that between the legs or desk tables) must be at least fifty-two centimeters.

An important role in determining a comfortable time spent at a desk is played by the width and height of the chair. They are also calculated in Modulor. The width of a work chair or armchair must be at least forty centimeters with a height of forty-two to forty-eight centimeters, respectively.

But these are all the dimensions of furniture for adults.

For a child

How to choose the right desk and chair for your child? Let us describe the main criteria:

• when sitting at the table, the feet are completely on the floor, and a right angle is formed between the lower leg and thigh. If the angle is obtuse, the chair is too high; if the angle is acute, choose higher furniture;
• Based on the depth of the chair, determine this: the seat should not dig into the popliteal joints;
• the distance between the knees and the tabletop should be ten to fifteen centimeters;
• The correct distance from the eyes to the table top should be equal to the distance from the fingertips to the elbow of your offspring.

If you have already bought a desk for yourself, but not for your child, then before running to the furniture store, we recommend watching the following video:

Where is the best place to place such an item?

When purchasing a desk, the question often arises: “How and where is it best to place it?” Many are guided by considerations of personal taste, others set up a table based on convenience for work and proper lighting, and some are guided by the teachings of Feng Shui. And we will dwell on all these aspects.

A desktop, according to Chinese teachings, should not only have a beautiful appearance and, but also excellent Feng Shui. Factors that must be observed for this:

• You can’t sit with your back to the window;
• do not sit opposite the door to the room;
• pay close attention to water symbols (images, aquarium, indoor fountain or waterfall). They shouldn't be behind you. Place these symbols in front of your eyes or above your head;
• how larger size table, the better;
• mandatory order on the table. A tabletop littered with papers is not feng shui.

As Chinese philosophy teaches, if these factors are observed, the owner of an office where the table is correctly installed will be lucky in business and finance.

For health reasons, the table is placed in front of the window, so that you sit facing the opening. Daylight should fall so that the shadow of your hand does not cover what you are writing.

And with artificial lighting, it is important to ensure that it is not dimmer than sunlight. Ideally, it is white, not yellow, close to daylight. This is what eye doctors advise.

And of course, all of us have our own vision of the location of the table in the room. Here you can follow our advice, or you can put furniture to your taste. As they say, the owner is the master.

The following video will tell you more about the nuances of Feng Shui related to the placement of desks:

Approximate desktop height for a student's height

It will be easier for you to decide which desk to buy for your child if you take into account his body type. We present a classification not by class, but by height, such individual approach more convenient:

• for heights from 110 to 115 cm - you need a table with a height of 46 cm;
• 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;

Optimal dimensions of a schoolchildren's workplace

• 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 child’s health.

The student’s workplace should be comfortable and bright

Adjustable desks for schoolchildren

The size of the tables determines the comfort and health of the students. It is believed that due to a desk that is incorrectly selected according to height, back diseases often develop, which are manifested by pain, curvature of the spine, ugly posture and all the ensuing factors. negative consequences. Despite the abundance of options for workplaces for schoolchildren, we advise you to consider ergonomic models that provide adjustment for a specific child. He develops, the size of his body increases, and at the same time his table can be rebuilt.

If you decide to use a table with adjustments, then look for models where you can vary the angle of inclination and height of the tabletop. It is convenient to sit at a table with an inclined board, write, draw, read. Along with such a table, it is good to have an adjustable chair, where the seat height and backrest angle can be adjusted. A first-grader at 6-7 years old has one height, but in six months or a year he can become much taller and will need a different work area. Considering that the child is constantly growing, such furniture can be used for more than one year, it is convenient and economical. Many people find it impractical to change their workstation every year, which is why there is no decline in demand for adjustable desks today.

Features and Requirements

Regular rectangular shape School tabletops for the home are purchased by parents quite rarely. Now you can buy a table that is completely different in both shape and functionality from the original one. Let's consider the positive and negative points such an acquisition.

• Firstly, the arbitrary shape of the tabletop is undoubtedly interesting option. But this fact can develop incorrect posture in a schoolchild, because it is just being formed.
• Secondly, the most suitable and economical option for a children's room is the purchase of a corner school table. This is especially true for small apartments. After all, in addition to working area For lessons, the teenager will also have plenty of space for other, no less important things. For example, he will be able to put his textbooks and notebooks no longer in the work area, but in a locker. He will also like retractable shelves where he can hide his most secret things.

The requirements for such a table include the following aspects:

• The convenience of a corner model for a schoolchild will be guaranteed if its length is at least 1 m. Moreover, there should be free space, which can be used for a computer, for example, or cell phone. The student’s elbows should not hang down.
• It is also worth paying attention to the width. For a first-grader, 60 cm is usually enough, for older students - 80 cm. When installing a computer, the width should be even larger - about 1 m.
• It is worth paying attention to the height of the school table. The best option would be a distance from the floor of 70-90cm. Otherwise, the child will experience constant pain in the back area, as it will be uncomfortable for him to study at such a table.
• One more no less important point is the absence of sharp corners. Otherwise, the corners will be all frayed, and the child may be injured.

For girls

The appearance of a table for a girl in a children's room is a continuation of a previously invented fairy tale. The new attribute should be perceived with joy and serve as a kind of game object. Continuing to sort out the toys, the little girl will gradually begin to be drawn into educational process, and playing school will help her with this. After all, here she can act as a teacher and assign homework to her animals and dolls.

The best option for arranging a table for a girl is a low tabletop, a chest of drawers or a bedside table with notebooks and toys, a shelf on top and again with toys. Choice color range- to the taste of the parents. And it doesn't have to be pink tones. The table can be selected to match the interior of the room. The main thing is that this attribute is not gloomy: it is advisable to use a light color palette.

For a boy

Furniture for lessons is all for later. First, the first grader will place a garage for cars in the desk drawers; the tabletop will serve as a springboard for assembly newest model starship, and book shelves can be used for an airfield. And, of course, you can put a construction set under the table or put large equipment in the garage.

Gradually, typewriters will be replaced by various stationery, and half of the workspace will be taken up by notebooks - the main thing is to prompt the child in time so that the process of getting acquainted with school does not drag on.

For two children

Let's look at examples that can help arrange the workspace of a children's room with two children. Do not forget that each workplace, in addition to constant access and excellent lighting, must be equipped in accordance with the individual needs of each child.

• If the size of the room is not too small, then you can create two independent workstations for each of the guys. Paired interior with the same school attributes - optimal choice for a large room. After all, every child should have his own personal space. It is advisable to place tables with different sides so that the guys don’t interfere with each other doing their homework.
• You can place a long rectangular table along the wall, divided into two work areas using a shelf. Such choice will do for children who don't bother each other.
• The third model of the product for two children looks like a long tabletop with a divider in the form of a partition or cabinet. In this case, it is worth adapting a separate shelf for each child.
• For a spacious room the best option there will be a tabletop with a length of 1.6 m, which would divide the room along the window into two halves.
• Long L-shaped version. Children can be placed at different ends of the table so as not to interfere with each other.

For a teenager

The child grows up and needs more space. A computer appears on the table, which requires space for a system unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Also, a high school student needs space for textbooks and books, and a student who is passionate about hobbies needs space for his subjects.

For girls at this age, tables with secret drawers and secrets are most suitable. Here they will be able to store their most intimate things: notes, diaries and much more. Let’s not forget about cosmetics - this can also take up most of the space intended for study, unless, of course, there is no option for installing a dressing table.

Dimensions

There are several ways to determine correct height children's study table for home:

• The height of the table top and the child's solar plexus should be at the same level.
• The distance between the elbow of the lowered hand of a sitting schoolchild and bottom the table top should be 5 cm.
• If a sitting student puts his hands in front of him, then his shoulders should be in a natural state.
• The most comfortable distance between the bottom of the school furniture and the knees varies from 10 to 15 cm.

Shape and style

Nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with the variety of children’s study tables. However, you can create an original image of a nursery, and the study table will play a big role in this.

There are several variations of this attribute, which can be found below.

Desk

Reminds me of a school desk. If its dimensions are not very large, then it is suitable for a small children's room.

This type of children's furniture has several features. For example, a table model is most often equipped with shelves and niches at the bottom, thereby leaving the tabletop free. Add-ons are allowed, but only at the corner, so as not to block the light flow. The location of this table near the window will be optimal - you will get something similar to a children's corner.

Computer

There are three main options for such a table:

• Classical.
• Oval or semi-oval.
• Triangular or angular.

Most models in this category are equipped with various additions: pull-out shelves, footrest, multi-level mini-shelves. Here you can place both notebooks and stationery. And there is enough free space not only for a computer, but also for an MFP or printer. However, if this is not the case, then parents will still have to buy a desk.

Experts do not recommend putting a child to do homework at a computer desk for two reasons: due to limited work space and the child’s constant distraction from classes.

With shelves

In order to have enough space for educational material and not only, additional attributes are often acquired for the study table: shelves, racks, cabinets.

Hanging shelves are convenient - because now everything is at hand.

With add-on

Original version furniture, which includes an equipped workplace with attached drawers or shelves that are part of the learning space. This design solution fits well into a small room.

The original design allows you to disguise the table inside the cabinet, thereby saving space for something else.

Materials

When paying attention to the materials from which the furniture is made, focus on its safety, ease of care and wear resistance.

Below is a list of materials that are currently used to make a variety of school desks.

• Chipboard – best option for those parents who value quality at a great price. Thanks to its reliability, this furniture option will not only serve you faithfully for many years, but will also surprise you with its variety of colors and shapes.
• laminated chipboard– this material is cheaper than chipboard. However, you shouldn’t take a closer look at it for two very good reasons. Firstly, after some time it begins to release harmful toxic substances, which is unsafe for those sitting at such a table. Secondly, over time, such a table loses its presentable appearance. When purchasing, ask the seller for a safety certificate.
• MDF– furniture made from this material is quite good. Firstly, it is cheaper than its wooden counterpart. Secondly, it has a huge number of positive properties: excellent quality, presentable appearance, durable, strong, safe and easy to clean.
• Natural wood or array– this option is best purchased for high school students, since they are more careful than schoolchildren junior classes. The material is reliable, durable and environmentally friendly. However, such a copy is quite expensive.
• Plastic– a version of furniture made from this material is rarely on sale. But if you nevertheless find such a copy and decide to purchase it, then ask the seller for a quality certificate for the product. Make sure it is safe and the quality of the material is good.
• Combined table category– in the manufacture of this type of children’s tabletop, metal frame and a table top made of wood. In this case special attention It is worth paying attention to how the metal parts are painted, and the condition of the fittings and other parts.

Plastic has very noticeable disadvantages: it is not durable, after a short period of time scratches and other flaws will become visible on it. Therefore, such a table is suitable only for a first-grader, and after a while it can be replaced with something better.

A desk is the place where a student spends quite a lot of time. Here he does homework, draws, sculpts and plays other educational games. Therefore, you need to approach his choice responsibly, because the child’s health and his enthusiasm for learning and other creative processes depend on it.

Types of children's desks

Many people think that choosing a desk for a child is very simple, but this opinion is wrong. And as soon as you get to the furniture store, you will see this. Desks differ from each other according to several criteria:

• Colors. Today, tables for children are of very high quality, and their color range is simply limitless and has rather strange names, for example, “Milanese Walnut”, “Wenge”, “Italian Walnut” and others. There are also products with combined colors, for example “Wenge and Maple”. Therefore, if you wish, you can choose a desk that will fit perfectly into any interior.
• Form. Modern market offers furniture to its consumers as classic rectangular tables, and more modern ergonomic ones, which can be rotated in any direction. This table can easily be placed in the corner of the room. And although this table has a slightly elongated surface, it is still quite compact.
• Drawers and bedside tables. How bigger table has these elements, the more expensive the cost of the product. But do not forget that in the lower grades a student needs to use a variety of auxiliary materials, school and stationery supplies, which should have their place. Some models have drawers or bedside tables that can be locked with a key. Many children really like this, because this way they have a place to keep their little secrets and secrets.
• Schoolchild's corner– this table model is equipped with stands, hanging shelves and drawers. Such a corner represents a single design composition, and relieves parents of the need to buy additional cabinets and shelves.
• The table is a transformer. This is a great solution if you decide to buy a table for many years. In these tables you can adjust the angle of the tabletop and the height of the legs. These tables are great for little schoolchildren.

The desk is the most expensive thing, which parents will have to purchase while preparing their child for first grade. It is quite difficult for parents to make the right choice, because there is such a wide variety of tables on the market. The last thing parents of a small schoolchild need to do is pay attention to the design delights of this piece of furniture. The main priorities in choosing should be safety, environmental friendliness and convenience.

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

1. The height and width of the table. If it is too high, you will need to purchase a special chair or a chair whose height is adjustable. If the table is low, the child will hunch over it while working, and there will be a risk of developing spinal curvature. According to sanitary standards, the child at the table should sit so that his elbows are freely placed on the tabletop, and his legs reach the floor and bend at an angle of 90 degrees;
2. 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;
3. It is also necessary to remember quality of materials, from which the table is made. Most often, furniture intended for children is made from laminated chipboard, but you can also purchase a table made of solid wood, plastic or glass;
4. When choosing a desk, pay attention attention to fasteners, since children most often break exactly what at first glance looked quite strong.

Hello, dear readers! With every new day, the number of mothers and fathers in stationery and children's clothing stores is growing unspeakably. This is not surprising, because there is very little time left to take a breath and confidently say: “We are ready for school!” Are you ready for the start of the school year?

Not long ago we discussed a schoolchild’s corner and selected one for study. I propose moving on to fundamental tasks. How to choose a desk for a first grader is a talking point.

Lesson plan:

What can a desk look like?

Ordinary school desks, stamped “one size fits all” by plywood factories, are long gone, although they were perhaps not so bad.

If anyone remembers, the Sovdepov lacquered monuments had cabinets for textbooks and notebooks, and even a built-in footrest. Owners of such school supplies they were proud and happy that they did their homework in a separate place, and not like most - where the family had dinner.

Today, furniture manufacturers offer so many options that your eyes involuntarily run wild. I want it to be beautiful, comfortable, long-lasting, and orthopedic correct. When answering the question: “What kind of school table should I choose for my home?”, you should decide what you expect from your new purchase.

Will this be just a place for preparing lessons or will it also become an assistant for professional drawing?

Are bedside tables and cabinets important, or will all books fit safely on the shelves?

Do you need to leave space for a computer or are you planning to organize a workspace only for notebooks and textbooks?

Parents have several options to choose the furniture that their child will definitely like.

What are desks made of?

When making school furniture, manufacturers can use various materials, which you are sure you have already heard about. Nevertheless, a small educational program.

Trying a table on a child

To choose the right school table, you need to know the height of the first-grader. In the topics about the workplace for study, we have already touched on the issues of what height the furniture should be.

The best option for determining its size would be a fitting room, for which we take the future student with us and sit at each table in a furniture store.

1. When sitting at a desk, the child should not rest his knees on it.
2. When positioned correctly, children's shoulders are parallel to the work surface.
3. The tabletop is located in the solar plexus area, the student’s elbows lie freely on the table, without forcing the back to bend.
4. When sitting behind work furniture, your knees are at a right angle.

One secret: let the child put his elbow on the table and try to touch his eye with his middle finger. If he succeeds, then he can go to the checkout.

When future first grader Until August 31, he is resting in the village with his grandmother; it is not possible to take him for a fitting. In such cases, parents are advised to start from practical advice. Average height table:

• for height 110-120 cm – 0.52 m;
• for 120-130 cm – 0.57 m;
• for 130-140 cm - 0.62 m;
• for 140-150 cm – 0.67 m;
• for children above 150 cm – 0.7 m.

A good tabletop width is 1 meter, the depth of the school table should be at least 0.6 meters.

If you made a mistake with the height of your newly purchased furniture, do not be upset.

• When the desk is too high, you can use a stand, which can be any object that allows you to freely place your feet on it. Some parents take more drastic measures and cut the legs of the table.
• When a piece of school furniture is low, a podium that should be wider than the desk itself will help increase its height. You can simply replace the legs by purchasing longer supports.

“Growing” tables and desks cope with such errors in height “with a bang,” allowing you to adjust their parameters.

Do you want to know the opinion of Elena Malysheva and her doctors about choosing a table and caring for the stump? Then watch the video)

Does your future first-grader already have a new desk? Experiment and check school furniture, if you didn’t try it on in the store. Maybe there is still time to make a stand or build a podium? After all, the health of our children is in our hands!

Good luck getting ready for school!

Always yours, Evgenia Klimkovich.
