Chair for school student Ikea: features of choice
All parents want their children to study well in school, but not everyone thinks that a variety of factors can interfere with academic success. An ordinary chair for a schoolboy is very important because it is difficult to get a child to make lessons if he is not comfortable sitting. Consequently, the issue of equipment of the workplace should be addressed with the utmost care.
Ikea's “growing” school chair can be the perfect choice for any elementary school student.
About brand
Ikea is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. At least, in the field of furniture production, he is unlikely to have such well-known competitors. This company was founded back in 1943 in Sweden by a 17-year-old guy who thought of selling furniture by mail, sending model catalogs to potential customers.
In 2015, the author of this brilliant idea entered the top ten richest people in the world, because his personal fortune exceeded $ 40 billion. By the beginning of 2018, the company opened more than four brand shops. At the same time, the size of each hypermarket is tens of thousands of square meters. The company's products are officially represented in fifty countries of the world, and its products are available not only to residents of nearby cities. Today, the brand’s furniture can be ordered remotely (now via the Internet).
Capitalization itself indicates a high popularity of products of this company. Not the last role in the success of the brand played and the breadth of the range. High chairs are especially in demand.
Features and Benefits
Despite the huge choice of the most different products, Ikea offers only one model of a children's chair, adjustable in height. This development was called "Eules". Its price on the official website of the manufacturer is 3 thousand rubles.
It should be noted that This model is not designed for all the time of school, as it is intended for children of primary school age. The manufacturer claims that he tested the product on “passengers” weighing up to 50 kg, so this gift would be useful for a first grader, but for a high school student it may be useless.
Contrary to the fact that Ikea is famous for the maximum simplicity of its products (for which companies periodically make fun of furniture, calling it primitive), “Yules” is just a very thoughtful model. Reviews of the owners of this piece of furniture mark a number of its advantages.
- Seat height can be adjusted. This is not only convenient, but also fundamentally important, because an abnormal body position over a long period of time can cause scoliosis and other posture disorders.
The height of the seat can be in the range of 37-48 cm (this indicator should correspond to the height of the child’s knees).
- Care of the product is very simple. Any cover is not provided. The surface of the chair, made of plywood and coated with acrylic paint, does not absorb pollution. It is enough to periodically wipe the product with a dry or damp cloth (sometimes using mild detergents) to keep the seat clean.
- The size of the seat is optimal for young children.. Its parameters are 35x32 centimeters, so the baby in the chair will not be cramped.
- The model is equipped with wheels., greatly simplifying the movement of furniture within the room. Nowadays, children often install TV and a computer.At the same time, psychologists say that none of these types of technology should not be on the desk. In such conditions, the child will have to move the chair around the room daily, and the wheels will do it with ease.
- The creators took care of security child and did not forget about saving the floor. First of all, the wheels are equipped with a special system of brakes that block the movement of the chair when standing up or landing. Thus, the chair does not roll back when the pressure changes, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. The wheels themselves are designed to use furniture, even on a soft floor.
- The product has the ability to disassemble and assemble. When disassembled, it takes up much less space. This solution improves the convenience of sending a purchase by mail and transportation by car. In this case, the consumer can easily assemble the furniture without help.
- In the process of manufacturing "Eules" no harmful materials are used. The very fact of European origin of products already hints at meeting certain high standards. Nothing but plywood, steel, propylene, polyester and epoxy or acrylic coating is not used to create the product.
- The chair has a concise, but very stylish design. On the one hand, the child will like it in its somewhat unusual form. On the other hand, there are no bright accents or distracting patterns in its design. Such furniture is best suited for organizing the workflow, creating an atmosphere of concentration.
- It should be noted and relatively low cost model. Of course, some Russian companies offer somewhat similar products at more affordable prices, however, compared to imported counterparts, Yules can be considered a very economical option.
Constructive criticism
Although Ikea products are in great demand, consumer opinion about them is not straightforward. Although most consumers like the product, not all reviews are positive. Therefore, it is worth mentioning the shortcomings of the chair, because they can play a key role in making the final decision on the purchase.
Most often, “Eulès” is criticized for being too explicitly oriented towards a child. The product is really inexpensive, but due to a few limited parameters of the “passenger”, its actual use is limited to 5-7 years. The manufacturer presents a large assortment of adult adjustable chairs, but such a purchase involves additional expenses. The company with Swedish roots does not offer any intermediate option or at least an alternative for older children.
The absence of a cover simplifies the care of the product, but can negatively affect one of the fundamental factors - the perception of your chair as a young owner. A product of this type can be comfortable for short sessions, but not the fact that it will be comfortable for the kid to sit on it for hours, performing voluminous homework.
Criticism and the possibility of adjusting the position. The company took care of the possibility of changing the height of the seat, but experts argue that for the full prevention of violations of posture is not enough. Adjustment of the backrest position is also required. "Eulès" is deprived of such a function.
Some consumers have problems with the assembly of the purchase, arrived at the address in a disassembled form. At the same time, many people dislike the strict minimalism that the brand has adopted as its main principle. Critics believe that the childhood of a child should be more vivid and cheerful. Against the background of all these comments, a certain percentage of parents wonder whether it is worth buying this model at all at such a price.
