Corner table for the student
Currently, there are many different tables for the student, but to choose a particular model is not so easy. In most cases, the benchmark for purchase is the price and dimensions. Parents often forget about some other things, no less important than the cost and size.
Features and requirements
The usual rectangular shape of the school home countertop is rarely purchased by parents. Now you can buy a table that is completely different in both form and functionality from the original one. Consider the positive and negative aspects of such an acquisition.
- First, the arbitrary shape of the table top is undoubtedly an interesting option. But this fact can develop a wrong posture in the student, because it is only being formed.
- Secondly, the most suitable and economical option in the nursery is to buy a corner school desk. This is especially true for small apartments. After all, in addition to the working area for lessons, a teenager will also have a sea of space for other, equally important things. For example, he can put his textbooks and notebooks no longer in the work area, but in the locker. He will also like retractable shelves, where you can hide the most secret.
From the requirements for such a table, the following aspects can be distinguished:
- The convenience of the corner model for the student will be guaranteed if its length is not less than 1 m. Moreover, there should be free space on the left and right of the working area, which can be used as a computer, for example, or a cell phone. The student’s elbows should not hang down.
- Also pay 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 desk. The best option would be the distance from the floor of 70-90cm. Otherwise, the child is expected to have constant pain in the back area, since it will be inconvenient to study at such a table.
- Another equally important point is the absence of sharp corners. Otherwise, the corners will be all shabby, and the child may be injured.
For girl
Appearance in the nursery tables for girls - continuation of a previously invented tale. The new attribute should be perceived with joy and serve as a kind of game subject. Continuing to disassemble the toys, the little girl will gradually begin to get involved in the learning process, and playing with the school will help her in this. After all, here she can act as a teacher and set homework for her animals and pups.
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, on top is a shelf and again with toys. The choice of colors - the taste of the parents. And it does not have to be pink tones. The table can be chosen for the interior of the room. The main thing that this attribute was not gloomy: it is desirable to use a light color palette.
For boy
Furniture for lessons is all for later. First, the first grader will place a garage for typewriters in the desk drawers, the worktop will serve as a springboard for assembling the newest model of starship, and shelves for books can be used for the airfield. And, of course, you can put a designer under the table or put big equipment in the garage.
Gradually, different stationery will replace the typewriters, and half of the working space will be occupied with notebooks - the main thing is to prompt the child in time so that the process of learning about the study does not drag out.
For two children
Consider examples that can help equip the workspace of a children's room with two children. Do not forget that every 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 jobs for each of the guys. A pair of interior with the same school attributes - the best choice for a large room. After all, each child should have their own personal space. It is advisable to place the tables from different sides, so that the guys do not interfere with each other to do their homework.
- A long rectangular table can be placed along the wall and divided into two working areas with a shelf. This choice is suitable for children who do not bother each other.
- The third product model for two children looks like a long table top with a divider in the form of a partition or pedestal. In this case, for each child is to adapt a separate shelf.
- For a large room, the best option would be a tabletop with a length of 1.6m, which would divide the room along the window into two halves.
- Long L-shaped option. 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 - he needs more space. A computer appears on the table, which requires space for the system unit, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.
Also, a high school student needs a place for textbooks and books, and a schoolboy keen on a hobby is for his subjects.
The girls at this age most suitable tables with secret drawers and secrets. Here they will be able to keep the most intimate: notes, diaries and more. Unforgettable and about cosmetics - it can also take up most of the space intended for study, if, of course, there is no option to install a dressing table.
Dimensions
There are several ways to determine the correct height of a children's study table for the home:
- The height of the tabletop and the solar plexus of the child should be on the same level.
- The distance between the seated student’s elbow and the lower part of the tabletop should be 5 cm.
- If a sedentary schoolboy puts his hands in front of him, then the shoulders should be in a natural state.
- Between the bottom of school furniture and your knees, the most comfortable distance varies from 10 to 15 cm.
Form and style
A variety of children's tables for classes now will not surprise anyone. However, you can create an original image of the nursery, and the training table will play a big role in this.
There are several variations of this attribute, which can be found below.
Desk
Reminds school desk. If its dimensions are not very large, it is suitable for a small children's room.
This kind of children's furniture has several features. For example, a table model is most often equipped with shelves and niches below, thereby leaving the tabletop free. Allowed add-ons, but only on the corner, so as not to close the luminous flux. 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 this table:
- Classical.
- Oval or semi oval.
- Triangular or angular.
Most of the models in this category are equipped with a variety of additions: retractable shelves, footrest, multi-level mini-shelves. Here you can place notebooks and stationery. And there will be enough free space not only for a computer, but also for an MFP or printer. However, if this is nothing, then parents still have to purchase a desk.
Experts do not recommend planting a child to do homework at a computer desk for two reasons: due to the limited working space and the constant distraction of the child from classes.
With shelves
In order to have enough space for educational material and not only, to the table for classes often acquire additional attributes: shelves, racks, cabinets.
Suspended shelves are convenient - because now everything is at hand.
With superstructure
The original version of the furniture, which includes an equipped workplace with attached drawers or shelves that are part of the training space. This design solution will fit well into a small room.
The original design allows you to mask the table inside the cabinet, thereby saving space for something else.
Materials
Paying attention to the materials from which the furniture is made, focus on its safety, ease of care and durability.
Below is a list of materials from which a variety of school desks are currently being made.
- Chipboard - The best option for those parents who value quality at a great price. Due to its reliability, this option of furniture will not only serve you faithfully for many years, but will also surprise you with its variety of colors and shapes.
- Chipboard - such material is cheaper than chipboard. However, it is not necessary to look closely at it for two very good reasons. First, after some time, it begins to emit harmful toxic substances, which is not safe for those sitting at such a table. Secondly, over time, such a table loses its presentable appearance. When buying, ask the seller for a security certificate.
- MDF - Furniture from this material is pretty good. Firstly, it is cheaper than a wooden counterpart. Secondly, it has a huge amount of positive properties: excellent quality, presentable appearance, durable, durable, safe and easy to clean.
- Natural wood or solid - This option is better to buy for high school students, because they are more accurate than primary school students. The material is reliable, durable and environmentally friendly. However, such a copy is quite expensive.
- Plastic - The option of furniture from this material is rarely on sale. But if, nevertheless, you found such a copy and decided to purchase it, then ask the seller for a quality certificate for the goods. Make sure it is safe and the quality of the material is good.
- Combined table category - at production of this type of a children's table-top the metal framework and a table-top from a wooden component is used. In this case, special attention should be paid to how the metal parts are painted, and in what condition the fittings and other details are located.
Plastic has very tangible flaws: it is not durable, after a short period of time it will show scratches and other flaws. Therefore, this table is suitable only for first-graders, and after a while replaced by something better.
Equipment
Any children's table for classes should have its own functionality: a lot of compartments for storing school accessories, a shelf for a satchel, and space for legs.
In addition to this, it is useful to have a built-in shelving for literature, an angular recess for the monitor and a special section for the system unit. This approach will help to rationally use the free space, and parents will no longer need to purchase an additional set of furniture.
All storage areas should be easy to open if necessary and be always available.
