Height adjustable child table
Furniture for a child’s room is generally quite a challenge, and creating a comfortable workplace is doubly difficult. There are a number of criteria that must be complied with in order to ensure that the child does not have problems with posture in the future, but at the same time the child grows, and the furniture that previously met the necessary criteria, very quickly becomes unsuitable. The solution can be a children's table, adjustable in height.
Special features
Experts recommend when equipping a child's working area pay attention to a number of small things that will not spoil the health of the baby. A child spends several hours every day studying the lessons; therefore, the slightest deviation from the norm is fraught with serious consequences. While sitting at the table, the student’s hands should be folded on the tabletop at a right angle, and he should neither reach nor be hunched. Since the growth of the baby is not constant, the adult table is initially too large for him, and any suitable children’s room will outgrow with time.
Some parents are trying to solve the problem by purchasing a regular table, designed for an adult, and to him - a chair with height adjustment, which allows you to raise the child to the desired level.
However, experts recommend to buy a desk with a chair, each of which is adjustable.
In this case, an adjustable chair has long surprised no one, but tables of this design are still perceived by many parents as a wonder. This desk will cost significantly more expensive than the classic, but it has a number of important advantages:
- Adjustable worktop height allows you to use this furniture to people of almost any height. For an adult, this option is not needed, but in the case of a schoolchild, parents do not need to buy a new desk several times. Even if you can sell the old tables, beating off part of the money spent, imagine how much time and effort you can save by acquiring once a universal solution suitable for both a classmate and an adult student.
- Regulated usually not only the height of the tabletop, but also angle of inclination. On an ideally horizontal surface, it is convenient to just draw, whereas a slightly tilted tabletop is better suited for writing, as for reading or drawing, even there a well-marked bias would not be superfluous. For maximum convenience, three tables are not needed - one is enough if it permits adjustment.
- Since such furniture is initially focused on the maximum convenience of its owner, manufacturers do not skimp on equipping such tables with various pleasant additions. Depending on the model, it can be drawers, hooks for backpacks, book holders, or even full built-in lights.
In other words, such a solution can replace several maximum convenient tables at once, and the period of its use is limited only by the strength of the materials from which it is made.
Materials
As for the raw materials used for the production of tables with height adjustment, most often they use either solid wood or plastic. Other materials are also found, but rarely.
Of course, the wooden table - the most optimal solution. Wood has one hundred percent natural origin, and therefore can not bear harm to the human body.This is an excellent building material, the life of the best samples of which can reach several decades. In addition, even in unpainted form, such a product usually looks very aesthetically pleasing and fits perfectly into most interior styles.
When choosing a table from an array, particular attention should be paid only to used paint materials, which, unlike wood itself, can be a harmful chemistry. In general, the only drawback of the wooden table can be called high price, but the longevity of the purchase levels this factor.
The attitude towards plastic tables is initially more biased because Plastic is synthetic and it is not a fact that it does not release toxins into the air. However, it is not worth being too categorical - modern types of expensive plastic retain chemical neutrality and have not been noticed in any harmful fumes; This quality can be determined thanks to the certificates that bona fide producers and sellers should have, as well as by the absence of any unpleasant or strong odors.
Expensive types of plastic, by the way, can also last for a dozen years without visible damage, but at a price they often turn out to be more beneficial than natural wood. At the same time, if the tree is an eternal classic, then plastic is the embodiment of modernity, especially since it is easily painted in any bright colors. This allows you to choose a plastic table that fits most naturally into your nursery.
Models for two children
Interestingly, a height-adjustable table is not necessarily limited to just one workplace. Unfortunately, the double version is usually designed for children of approximately the same height, which is good only in those families where there are twins and twins. Nevertheless, there are also models with a table top that is adjustable for each child separately.
Of course, the best solution of this type is as if two separate countertops in one common building. They can be located both side by side and opposite each other, the main thing is that each of them can be adjusted independently of the other. There are not many such models, but they allow children to use the same table at the same time, even with a significant difference in height.
There are also double tables, in which there is only one tabletop, but the height adjustment for each of the legs is carried out separately. Such a construction is sometimes permissible unless that difference in growth two children quite small. It should be borne in mind that in a lower child the tabletop will always be tilted slightly towards him, while in a higher child, even worse, from the tabletop.
About choosing a color solution
Modern manufacturers, focusing on customers-children, often produce tables decorated with bright pictures, or simply painted with one, but bright, tone.
At first glance, this may help to decorate the baby’s room and will make it interesting for him to study, but in fact it is not. First of all, the student’s interest will not be attracted by the study itself, but rather the decorative images on the table, which will only interfere with the lessons.
Do not forget also that the adjustable table is bought for many years, and the cartoon characters the child will soon outgrow, and simply too bright colors to the teenager no longer seem as attractive as a small child.
For this reason, experts recommend giving preference to neutral shades - wood, brown, beige, and also white. Other tones are permissible if, thanks to this, the interior of the room is filled with new colors, however, the color of the table in any case cannot be too bright and attractive.
