Preparing a child for school requires parents not only money but also knowledge in certain areas. For example, the manufacture of furniture. Yes Yes! A writing desk for a schoolboy is one of the most significant acquisitions. Here the child will spend time every day, so the table should be not only high-quality, beautiful, comfortable, but also right, that is, ergonomic.
Types of desks
- A qualitative and convenient table for a schoolboy today is not cheap, so it is worthwhile looking for ways to save money. If, for example, to buy a table for a schoolboy adjustable in height, then the rapid growth of the child will not be an excuse for buying a new one in the next school year.
- An excellent solution will be a transformer table for the schoolboy, whose height of the legs is regulated, and the angle of the table top. Some models of such tables are folded in half, which is very convenient in small rooms. Such a growing and collapsible table for a schoolboy will cost a little more than a table of standard design, but will last for more than one year.
- The modern school dictates its own rules, and it's extremely difficult to do without a computer. If his purchase is planned for the near future, then a regular or corner computer desk for the student will be the best option. However, do not get carried away by the amount of office equipment, because in addition to the monitor, the printer of the scanner and other devices, textbooks, notebooks with which the child will work should be placed on this table. Also, do not discount the radiation hazard. Minimize it will help the L-shaped model of the computer table: on one part of it will be placed computer equipment, for another student will do the lessons.
- Of course, both parents and children would like to have their own separate desk, but the number of rooms in the apartment and their sizes do not always contribute to this. The exit can be a desk for two students. It can be placed along the window, dividing the working areas of the table top with a table shelf or decorative ornaments. In a spacious square room, the table can be placed centrally so that the children can sit opposite each other. The computer can be placed under a table or in a special niche.
Choosing the right desk
- The main criterion of choice is, perhaps, the height of the desk for the student. For proper posture and to avoid problems with the spine, before buying a table, a simple test should be carried out. If the shoulders of the child sitting at the table and holding a hand on the table top are raised or lowered, the height of the desk is inappropriate. If the child regularly does lessons at such a table, then neck pain and scoliosis are provided.
- An equally important criterion is the size of the countertop. So, a desk for a schoolboy should have dimensions that allow you to freely place textbooks, notebooks and stationery on the surface.
- It is also worth noting that natural wood is preferable to pressed wood, because the glue used in making such furniture can be toxic. Pay attention to the color of the table top. Too saturated colors and reflective surfaces (glass, gloss) will distract the student. It is better to stop the choice on natural colors.
- To free space and maintain order in the children's room will help with desks with bedside tables, shelves, drawers. Here you can store books, stationery and even sports uniforms. And do not forget that it is very important for children to feel themselves masters in their space, so without the need and permission of the child, do not touch the things that are stored in the table.
