Tables and chairs

When purchasing items for your classroom, the size of chairs and tables are extremely important.  If furniture is disproportionate to the child, they can feel confined or lacking in confidence.  Tables, for example, should allow a child to sit in a chair comfortably without their legs being pinned.  Having the space too tight for them can cause distress and make them feel trapped rather than able to focus on their lesson.  Conversely, the table should not be too large or it can intimidate a child.  Research shows that oversized furniture makes young children feel small and helpless because they are being overwhelmed by their surroundings. 

What do you do in a room with different- sized children?  A perfect solution is the use of our adjustable tables.  Wood Designs now offers our same high quality Birch hardwood tables with adjustable legs.  These exclusive tables allow for adjustments from 18” to 26” high, allowing a wide array of heights that are adaptable to different sized children. 

Chair size should also be appropriate for children.  The optimal chair will allow a child’s feet to touch the ground without dangling.  Our Woodie chairs are excellent for small children and offer a variety of sizes to match the child.  For taller kids, we offer our Birch hardwood tables ranging from 10” to 18.” 

Having the appropriate sized furniture will help children to feel confident and comfortable.  This will allow them to focus on their education and provide them with necessary self-assurance.  Stop by WoodDesigns.com to see what we have to offer for your room.
