What height should a children's table and chair be?

Desk for schoolchildren

1. Health and harmonious development.
To ensure that long-term work in a sitting position does not have a negative impact on the child’s body, the depth of the working surface of the table should be at least 60-80 cm, and the width - at least 100 cm. The optimal distance for the child’s feet under the table in depth is 45 cm and 50 cm - in width. For comfort and convenience of doing homework, the table must correspond to the student’s height in several respects:

To check whether the table has been chosen correctly, you need to sit the child at it; if his elbows are freely located on the tabletop, and his bent legs are at right angles and touch the floor, then the choice of the table has been made correctly. This is the only way to prevent the negative consequences that a sitting position entails and to maintain the child’s correct posture.

2. Convenience and comfort

It is important to ensure that the child likes the workplace. This will make it more pleasant for the student to be with him and, accordingly, do his homework

In addition, the desk should be spacious so that books, notebooks and other accessories can be easily stored in it. The more comfortable the work at the desk, the more productive it is - you don’t have to be distracted to bring the necessary textbooks.

3. Design. Various models of desks on the market offer different solutions to the problem of organizing a workplace. In addition, they differ significantly in cost.

Standard design. This table has long been familiar to everyone: a rectangular tabletop and a small number of drawers. Today, such models are presented in different price segments: from 1,500-3,000 to 50,000 rubles, depending on the material from which it is made and the external design. However, as a rule, the most inexpensive solutions can be found in this category.

Computer desk. This design is the optimal solution if parents are planning to buy a computer for a schoolchild in the near future. The model range is presented in the widest price segment: from 1,500 to 20,000 rubles and above. The cost varies depending on the availability of a retractable panel for the keyboard, a special place for a monitor and CDs, as well as a shelf for a printer.

Just like other models, the price depends on the design and material from which the table is made. Thus, glass computer tables are usually more expensive than models made of chipboard and inexpensive wood

It is important to pay attention to the fact that after placing the monitor and other equipment on the table, there is enough space left for work. Despite the convenience of a computer desk, many do not prefer this model due to the fact that the student will constantly be in front of the monitor. This can only be avoided with an L-shaped table

This can only be avoided with an L-shaped table.

L-shaped table. Instead of a standard desk, you can choose an L-shaped model, if the size of the children's room allows. In this case, the student has the opportunity to do homework at one part of the table and place a computer on the other. This is one of the most popular options, which is in the middle price category: from 2,000 to 30,000 rubles. The cost depends on the availability of a retractable cabinet, the material, and the complexity of the design.

Table transformer. This model provides the ability to adjust the height of the table in accordance with the height and age of the child at different stages of its development. Although it will cost more than a classic desk, in the future, when the child grows up, you will not have to buy this furniture again. This model can be purchased at a price from 7,000 to 45,000 rubles. The cost depends on what capabilities such a table provides - you can only adjust the height, or it is orthopedic; or easily folds and thus saves space in a small room.

Functionality of school furniture

The desk in the children's room experiences constant raids in the form of piles of books, felt-tip pens, pens, pencils, paper, glue, special accessories, notes and other important items that adults perceive as trash without understanding the true meaning.

Ergonomics of a schoolchild's workplace

Therefore, the ability to place items, as well as the presence of additional sections, will be an undeniable advantage. There are the following types of these products:

1. Single pedestal. The standard size of the table has a built-in or pull-out cabinet for placing books and accessories. It can be equipped with a simple door and internal shelves or designed in the form of drawers. The standard for this type of product is a transverse shelf for a school backpack. For such a table you will have to select additional hanging shelves.
2. Models with two cabinets are divided into two types. The first consists of a table with a cabinet and an additional cabinet as an independent unit. It has one extended workspace. The second is straight or angular, consisting of two working surfaces connected by pedestals. Suitable for two children or for creating an independent workspace for a computer.
3. A table that is part of a furniture complex for equipping a nursery. This is a convenient, but quite expensive solution. The table built into the complex has undeniable advantages. The module includes many additional sections for placing accessories and is made in accordance with the children's height standard.
4. Adjustable models. They are available separately or as a set with chairs. Equipped with height adjustment and tabletop angle changes. They have a built-in footrest. The design provides for the placement of mobile lighting, which is attached to the surface. Some models are equipped with wheels for moving.

Schoolchild's workplace according to standards

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the furniture in the nursery should not have sharp corners. Children are very mobile and can be injured on protrusions if they fall.

Features of choice

Let's figure out what qualities a desk should have.

The comfort of working at a desk is determined by the competent choice of the product itself, as well as the physical characteristics of the person. Sitting at a desk for many hours can negatively affect your back health, resulting in scoliosis or kyphosis, which will inevitably lead to long and complex treatment. It is better to avoid these consequences by wisely selecting this piece of furniture.

The height of the table for an adult and for a child is very different. Let's look at these parameters.

The great constructivist and architect Le Corbusier developed a system of proportions according to which all modern furniture is made, including all types of tables. The height of the tabletop directly affects seating comfort and health. Given the average anthropometric data of a person, Le Corbusier calculated that the standard tabletop height for an adult should be 70-80 cm.

In addition to height, the width of the tabletop and its depth play an important role. For comfortable work, the minimum depth should be 60 cm, while the maximum is about 80 cm. The width of the working surface is from 1 m.

So, the ideal seat dimensions would be: width about 40 cm and height 42-48 cm, depending on the person’s height. These are the dimensions of the table for an adult.

If you are choosing furniture for a child, you must consider the following criteria:

• When the child sits at the table, the feet should be flat on the floor. Your thighs should be at right angles to your shins.
• The depth of the chair should be such that when the body rests on the back of the chair, the front edge of the seat does not put pressure under the knees.
• The distance from the surface of the table top to the hips should be about 18 cm, if there is no drawer or pull-out table top. Otherwise the height may be slightly less.
• Elbows should lie flat on the tabletop and should not hang down under any circumstances.
• The correct distance from the work surface to the eyes should be equal to the length from the child's elbow to the fingertips.

As for height, it is better to select a table based on the calculations below:

• For children up to 130 cm tall, the ideal height is 53 cm and the chair is 33 cm. The optimal difference between the chair and the table is 20 cm.
• For children with a height of 130 to 145 cm, the height of the tabletop should be 58 cm and the chair 38 cm. If the child’s height is 145-165 cm, then the height of the product is 64 cm, but an adult design with a height of 70 cm is also quite suitable if the height of the chair is 20 cm below.

School desk size. Standards according to GOST

The legal regulations say:

“Furniture for students must be made from materials that are completely safe for health. All items of school furniture must comply with the anatomical and age characteristics of the child, as well as ergonomic requirements” (standard, school desks).

Children grow quickly, which forces parents to either sit the child at an “adult” table and chair, adding books “for height,” or to purchase furniture every year. Neither solution is optimal. In the first case, it is impossible to ensure compliance with hygiene standards and comfort for the child; in the second, this is an unreasonable waste of money and a lack of strategic thinking.

Now some manufacturers of children's furniture have begun to offer “growing desks.” The models differ from conventional furniture in that they have height adjustments. Purchasing such a product makes it possible to ensure correct seating at the table and provide all the conditions for the formation of a healthy posture and allows you to save money.

The correct desk height for a schoolchild. The difference between smart school furniture and traditional desks

As the student grows, the height of the children's desk changes. You can simply raise the tabletop to the required height. Manufacturers have provided special reliable mechanisms for this. As a result, having purchased the “growing” option once, you can use it before school and during education, from the first grade until the child graduates from school.

How to choose the right table height

The calculation of the standard is based on the average statistical height of a person

When selecting furniture “for yourself”, it is also important to take this parameter into account, because the formula for a comfortable tabletop height is unchanged: height (cm) * coefficient. But the variable itself depends on the purpose

Kitchen

This type of table means the entire working surface, which is not entirely correct, but the most practical. After all, a truly correct and convenient multi-level option would be much more difficult to care for.

The finished dish is the result of many preparatory processes, most of which are easier to do while standing. Accordingly, the height of the kitchen table should be such that the person behind it can work with relaxed shoulders and a straight back. When choosing from ready-made kitchen surfaces, the optimal distance from the countertop to the floor can be easily determined visually: it should be at a level below the waist.

But what to do if members of the same family have a large difference in height? Under no circumstances should you determine the arithmetic mean, as is recommended by some “experts”.

If you need to determine the height of the kitchen table if it is made to order, you can use the formula: height * 0.51. By rounding the result to the nearest whole, you will be able to obtain the optimal distance from the floor to the tabletop, taking into account individual characteristics.

Written

This version of furniture has slightly different tasks: you are supposed to work with it while sitting. While working, your forearms should remain relaxed, your back straight, and your shoulders in a natural position. A slight tilt of the head is acceptable, but the shin and thigh must be at a right angle, and the foot must be pressed firmly to the floor.

The formula for calculating the optimal height of a desk is: height*0.46.

Computer

It is important to understand that this is a direct descendant of its written counterpart. The requirements for it are the same

For greater compactness while maintaining convenience for users, computer desks are often equipped with a pull-out shelf for the keyboard and a stand for the monitor. In this case:

• the shelf should be at an optimal height to maintain the natural position of the hands;
• a chair with comfortable armrests is selected for the table, which will serve as an additional support point for the forearms;
• The stand should provide an optimal viewing angle without the need to slouch or lean back.

The general recommendation for choosing the optimal height for all family members remains: the guideline is for the tallest. Fortunately, it is not difficult to purchase a footrest, and a high-quality computer chair can be easily adjusted to the needs of users.

Lunch

Not too much time is spent on such furniture, but this does not mean that any option will do. The entire family gathers at the dining table, so everyone should feel comfortable at the same time. A table that is too high or low will not allow you to sit comfortably and get maximum pleasure from culinary masterpieces. And all kinds of footrests and chairs with adjustable heights are simply inappropriate. But this does not mean that making the right choice is too difficult.

If dad, mom, grandparents “grew” to 175, 155, 180 and 160 cm, respectively, then you need to determine the average value: (175+155+180+160)/4 = 167.5 cm. And this is already substituted in formula. And it doesn’t matter that the father has to stretch his legs slightly in order to sit comfortably at the table - this is permissible near the dining room.

Correct posture

Rules for the placement of the child have also been adopted.

1. You need to pay attention to the tabletop. It is located at the level of the seated diaphragm. There is about 10 centimeters of free space from the tabletop to the knees. A distance of 5-6 cm is maintained between the back wall and the legs.

2. The height of the table is 3-5 cm below the elbow line of the student in a standing position. The height of the chair should be controlled by placing the furniture at a distance of 10 cm. Then sit the child with a straight back and legs bent at an angle of 90 °. In this position, your feet should be completely flat on the floor.

3. It is unacceptable that there is no support under your feet. The student should also not bend his legs more than 90 degrees.

What materials are tables made of?

The next stage of choosing furniture is determining the material from which the table will be made. Several options are possible, each of which has both pros and cons.

Material wood. It is distinguished by durability, long service life, and impeccable appearance. Such a product will help emphasize the ideal taste of the owner of the living space and will harmoniously fit into almost any interior - from timeless classics to ultra-modern modern.

The furniture is completely safe even for children and people prone to allergies, as it is made from environmentally friendly material. The best species for making kitchen furniture include cherry, beech, walnut, and oak.

The material also has disadvantages, for example, its impressive cost. A product made of natural wood cannot be cheap, however, the table itself will last for many decades, so it will pay for itself in full. The next disadvantage is that if moisture gets in, the wooden surface may suffer.

Glass

Modern manufacturers use special materials that make furniture impact-resistant and completely safe. For families with children, it is better to choose a tabletop made of tempered glass: if it does break, the “shards” will have blunt edges and will not harm the baby.

Such furniture allows you to visually expand the boundaries of a small room; it has a lot of options, from completely transparent to painted in an unusual way.

The disadvantages include difficulty in care - you will have to select a special product so that there are no streaks left on the surface.

MDF and chipboard

These are the simplest and cheapest materials used for the production of countertops, but they do not differ in high ergonomics or long service life.

Flaws:

• Rapid appearance of chips, cracks, scratches.
• When moisture gets on the surface, ugly bubbles form.

Advantages:

• A variety of models, there is plenty to choose from.
• Affordable price.

Most often, such models are chosen by those families who do not yet have the opportunity to purchase anything more substantial.

Stone

When buying a table for the kitchen or dining room, some people with refined taste opt for stone countertops that will last for years or even decades.

They will serve faithfully without losing their original splendor, are easy to maintain, resistant to moisture, grease, steam, accidental mechanical damage, and also look very attractive.

Room style

We considered that the standard height of a dining table is 75−80 cm

But for a successful choice of model, this data is not enough; it is very important to take into account the style specifics of the room

So, for a kitchen or dining room designed in the spirit of strict classics, a long wooden table is best suited, which can seat from 3 to 12 people (depending on the needs of a particular family).

For a studio that is fashionable today, there is nothing better than a bar counter - it looks very stylish, interesting, allows you to zone the space and save space. At the same time, the surface itself is very convenient for eating.

Desk for two schoolchildren (30 photos)

A desk is a basic part of the interior of a learning area in a children's room. Parents of two children will have to solve at least two problems: how to accommodate two schoolchildren while maintaining the personal space of each, and how to make the room stylish and spacious. How to do it? You will learn about this further.

Materials: wood, plastic, chipboard, MDF

We all want the best for our children, so we pay attention not only to the aesthetics of interior items, but also to the safety of materials for children's furniture. 1

Solid wood

1. Solid wood

Today, the most environmentally friendly material for making children's furniture is solid wood. Such furniture is aesthetic, practical, durable (subject to purchase from a trusted seller with all certificates and standards).

When choosing such a table, you should ask the seller what varnishes and paints the furniture was treated with. They must be non-toxic and must not leave colored marks. A desk for two children made of solid wood is quite expensive. But such an interior item will last a long time.

If you decide to buy a desk made of wood, pay attention to products made from hardwood (walnut, cherry, beech, birch, ash). They are more wear resistant

Furniture made from softer coniferous wood (pine) will have noticeable dents and scratches.

2. MDF and chipboard

The most popular cost option is chipboard. It has a number of advantages:

• Acceptable price.
• Endless variations of colors and shapes: chipboard slabs are covered with veneer of various colors and textures. And if desired, photo printing of any complexity is possible.
• With high-quality manufacturing, the risk of toxicity is minimal.

But there are also disadvantages:

• During repeated installation, chips are possible, since the chipboard is made by pressing and gluing sawdust.
• Quality and safety greatly depend on the quality of the cladding and impregnation.
• Many products are susceptible to moisture. Take this into account when caring for such furniture.
• Significantly inferior in wear resistance. If the covering is damaged in any way, the product will be unsafe for the child.

Choose a desk made from class E1 chipboard (low content of toxic formaldehyde). This will provide quality assurance. All edges of the product must be firmly lined with plastic or veneer on all sides without exposed sawn edges.

3. Plastic

In the learning area of ​​the children's room, plastic chairs, shelves, and storage boxes are possible. Plastic is chosen for...

• …ease. A freestanding desk will be too mobile. But for chairs and shelves, this is a clear plus.
• ...hygienic. Easy to wash and clean from dust.
• …strength. The myth that plastic is easy to damage has long been dispelled. Modern plastic products are durable, flexible, and many are scratch-resistant.

Table options

Manufacturers offer several options for desk configurations for two schoolchildren.

1. "Double table". If the room contains students of the same sex or twins who study in the same class and who have common things and interests, such placement will help preserve space. Of course, if the children don't mind.

2. “Bedside table-chair-chair-bedside table.” This linear arrangement will take up more space.

3. Corner table. The corner location is optimal for a nursery with a small area.

Depending on the layout, study areas can be located sideways to each other, opposite or at an angle. How to choose a corner table for a schoolchild can be read here.

4. Children sit opposite each other. It might look like this:

Straight table, opposite workstations. We divide the tabletop into two halves with a table rack. Such a desk will clearly demarcate the personal study area of ​​each room owner.

5. Growing furniture. In conditions of limited financial resources, parents usually strive to buy something for many years. A children's study space should not only be beautiful and roomy, but also suitable for the child: that is, the height of the table and chair should correspond to the height so that the child maintains correct posture.

One of the innovations in the furniture market is growing furniture. These are written hundred

Height-adjustable tables

They are also called mechanical. Such models help save money. They are intended for several purposes. Firstly, schoolchildren and preschool children can do their homework for many years. In addition, “adult” tables will be adjustable depending on height and needs. Mechanical furniture may have X-shaped legs that allow for easy height adjustment. Some models are equipped with a telescopic mechanism: to change the height of the vertical supports, you need to hold the tabletop on both sides. This is a less convenient option. There are also electronic and retractable mechanisms. Using any of these devices, you can not only adjust the height from the floor, but also change the appearance or set of functions, for example, turning a coffee table into a dining table. All products have a small drawback - the maximum load is limited to 30-45 kilograms. There are many more advantages. Among them:

1. Practicality. They can be used in different rooms and for different purposes.
2. Space saving due to the compactness of the product.
3. Comfort and versatility. The table can be customized at your discretion.

Modern standards of school desks

When equipping classrooms, the sizes of school desks are selected in accordance with the requirements of SanPin and GOST 11015-93, 11016-93. These regulatory documents contain a list of height groups of children and the sizes of school furniture corresponding to each group. When setting up a classroom, it is recommended to equip the room with tables and chairs of various size categories, depending on specific needs.

The student’s body length is measured before the start of each school year and entered into an individual card (form No. 26). Students can measure their own height using a colored ruler posted in the school lobby. 2 cm is added to the length of the body (for the heel), and the corresponding group of furniture is selected based on the final figure.

Domestic furniture factories produce desks and chairs of various sizes. SanPin standards provide for 6 groups of furniture and an additional zero group, which is practically not used in schools, but is intended for preschool institutions. Each group has its own marking color. When arranging in a classroom, furniture with smaller dimensions takes up the closest places near the board. Larger furniture is installed further.

Types of computer desks

• A classic option without unnecessary grace, practical and versatile in any interior. Such a table can be used not only for a computer, but also as a desk for a child. It is possible to choose this option with a retractable keyboard stand.
• Corner models are often preferred by owners of small squares of living space. This type of work area takes up little space while maintaining the quality of capacity. In most cases, the table has drawers and shelves above it.
• Semicircular tables bring some aesthetics to the design of the room. This option is often used as office furniture, which is convenient for holding meetings and receiving clients.
• A modular table is a modern type of furniture for working with a computer at home, which will allow its owner to use imagination and change shapes, rearranging elements in different positions, a kind of transformer.
• Furniture for a computer with shelves and drawers is multifunctional and roomy; it is also used as a mini-library, and its appearance fits harmoniously into any interior, a bit like a bookcase. There are options with large tabletops; they are aimed at schoolchildren. A large work surface will be much more convenient when doing homework and placing all the necessary textbooks and notebooks on it.
• A small table will allow you to place a work or play area in any room, even in the kitchen or balcony. It will not be equipped with universal, spacious shelves, but it will perform its main function perfectly. For these types, there are options with wheels for convenient movement around the apartment.
• A cabinet with an equipped area for computer paraphernalia. This design design combines several useful properties: a standard department with shelves for clothes with closing doors and a computer table. Such a cabinet can also be in a wardrobe format, where one door will close the direct-use area (for clothes), and the second will close the computer area.

Materials

For the manufacture of computer desks use:

• Solid wood (pine, oak, beech, birch, ash) is rarely used, mainly due to its high cost. Wooden tables always look solid and stylish. Hard rocks are wear-resistant and durable.
• High strength glass (tempered). Mainly used for countertops. Can be transparent, satin, mirror, tinted or painted. And also with patterns and photo printing.
• Metal - the profile thickness must be appropriate. Models can be shiny, matte or painted. A tabletop with a metal frame and forged supports is the most reliable option.

• Different types of plastic (transparent or colored) are used both for surfaces and for individual parts.
• Laminated chipboard is the most budget-friendly material. Has good resistance to external influences. The edges are edged in color.
• MDF, with all its capabilities, has an affordable price. The veneered material is very similar to wood. Film coating gives a wide choice of colors and textures with imitation of natural materials (wood and metal), glossy, matte, plain and with patterns. Enamel options have such an important advantage as the possibility of restoration.

Fashionable colors:

• White is the most popular. The furniture looks stylish, fresh, adds volume and light. Contrary to stereotypes, modern materials do not absorb dirt and do not require special care. In addition, dust is less visible on light-colored surfaces.
• The contrasting black color is sophisticated and captivating and can be combined with white or other colors. The glossy finish is especially impressive.
• Natural wood colors never go out of style. An alternative to white can be the shades “Sonoma oak” and “bleached oak”. And “wenge” will become contrasting.

What other parameters need to be taken into account

In order for your studies to be as comfortable as possible, you need to pay attention to other parameters. Not only the height of the furniture determines the quality of the work behind it. It is also important not to ignore the following:

1. Incline. A tabletop located at a slight angle will reduce eye strain. In this case, writing will also be a little more convenient - hand tension will decrease.
2. Safety. Pay attention to the presence of sharp corners to avoid the possibility of impacts.
3. Color and design. You should not buy a table with too bright colors or an unusual shape. This will distract the student from studying.
4. Material. It is better not to buy furniture made from expensive materials for studying. Children will quickly stain it with ink and paints. It's worth taking a closer look at plastic products. Some types of this material are toxic and emit an unpleasant odor.

Also, when purchasing, pay attention to the presence of various drawers and shelves. Space for books, notebooks and other educational supplies will never be out of place.

Standard options

In the process of selecting the location of the workbench tabletop level, it is necessary to determine what type of workpieces will be processed on it. If the majority of work is planned with wood workpieces, then in this case the workbench should have a smooth and even wooden tabletop, and if the work is more related to the processing of metal parts, then you will need a metalwork version of the table, the surface of which is covered with durable materials, for example , metal.

On a mechanic's workbench, in addition to the basic and necessary additional devices, it is recommended to equip a special mechanism for lifting heavy parts, as well as provide a system for mechanical adjustment of the height of the tabletop, which can be changed depending on the height of the worker.

There are various ways to determine the height of a carpenter's or benchtop from floor to tabletop: The worker will need to take measurements from the top of his head to his chin. Then, from the resulting figure in cm, you need to subtract the size obtained as a result of measuring the hand from the tip of the fingers to the corner of the elbow, also in cm. Next, from the result obtained, you need to additionally subtract the height of the vice, which the worker will constantly deal with, since they are the ones hold any parts during the entire processing cycle.

The averaged data of such a measurement and the resulting height of a carpenter’s or metalworker’s workbench can be seen in the table.

Whether the height of a carpenter's or mechanic's workbench is suitable for comfortable work can be checked without preliminary calculations using a simple method: the worker will need to stand sideways close to the end of the workbench table top and lower his arms in a free position. Then he needs to place his palm on the tabletop, without bending his arm at the elbow. If he managed to carry out this procedure without bending his arms at the elbow joint, it means that the height of the workbench for this person was chosen correctly - he will be comfortable working. In the case where the subject’s palm cannot rest freely on the tabletop without bending at the elbow, it will be necessary to reduce the height of the table or place special floor stands near the workbench.

Sometimes craftsmen perform work at a workbench in a sitting position. In this case, you can calculate the height of the table using the following formula: you need to subtract 110 from the person’s height - this will be the most comfortable height for your workbench.

For ease of work, it is also important what width the tabletop will have. Usually it is made from 60 to 75 cm, and the length of the table is selected based on how much free space the workshop room has

The length of the workbench tabletop is made from 70 cm to 2.5-3 m.

How to choose the right table height

In fact, choosing furniture to suit your height is quite simple. Few people know, but there is a special formula for calculating table height. The optimal height is determined as follows: the actual height of a person multiplied by the appropriate coefficient. The value of the coefficient depends on the purpose for which the table is purchased. Let's consider each type separately.

Kitchen

Kitchen furniture should be selected according to the height of the person who most often uses it. It is impossible to choose a kitchen table whose height will satisfy all family members. It would seem that it would be better to calculate the average height of all family members and multiply the resulting figure by the recommended coefficient to obtain the optimal height of the kitchen table that is convenient for everyone. With this approach, cooking will be inconvenient for everyone.

All housewives prefer to cook food while standing. In this case, it is convenient to work at the kitchen table when the work surface is located near the waist. In this case, it is necessary that the shoulders are relaxed and the spine does not bend, that is, keep the back straight. Of course, it is not possible to maintain such a position all the time. This is due to the fact that the kitchen has several work surfaces - the main countertop, sink, pull-out cutting board and other kitchen gadgets. It is not a fact that they all have the same height. The choice is made based on the surface being used.

For a kitchen table, the above height selection factor is 0.51. By multiplying it by the height of the housewife, the result is rounded and the optimal and scientifically proven height of the kitchen table is obtained.

Writing

A desk is selected based on other criteria. The main difference from the kitchen is that they work while sitting while writing. Orthopedists recommend keeping your forearms relaxed, your back straight, and your shoulders not straining - they should be in a natural position. The lower leg and thigh are positioned in the shape of a right angle, and you should try to keep your feet firmly pressed to the floor.

The height of the desk is determined by the height of the tallest family member. For the rest, you will have to select chairs and footstools that suit their height.

The recommended desk height coefficient is 0.46.

Computer

A computer desk is a type of desk. They select him based on the tallest computer geek in the family. The height coefficient is the same as for writing. But still, computer models have their own peculiarities. They are specially designed to work with a personal computer. Therefore, they have appropriate adjustments: for the position of the display and for the keyboard. In this case, the following factors must be taken into account.

• The distance to the display is adjusted by simply moving the monitor away.
• When working on the keyboard, you must maintain correct posture - do not hunch over, and the recommended hand position is natural.
• Orthopedists recommend purchasing special chairs with adjustable armrests, backrest tilt and height.

Dining

Gone are the days when everything was done at the dinner table: working, cooking and doing homework. Now it performs its only function, which justifies its name - they only dine at it. It is desirable that all family members feel comfortable at the dining table. Here you need to use the average family height for calculation. To do this, the height of each family member is measured, the resulting values ​​are added and the sum is divided by the number of people measured. Having determined this value, it is multiplied by the height coefficient, in this case - 0.43.

It doesn’t matter if someone has to stretch their legs, or, conversely, someone doesn’t reach the floor with their feet. Legs stretched out at the dining table will not interfere with the appreciation of culinary delights, and for short people you can use footrests.
