Adjustable table: characteristics and features

Any children's furniture should be selected carefully, but it is to the children's table that special requirements must be presented, since the child's health will depend on the correct fit for many years to come.

Features of adjustable tables

At the table or desk any child spends a lot of time. The preschooler draws and molds, the schoolboy also reads, and does homework, not to mention a high school student or a student: in addition to studying, a computer is added. If all the childhood the child will sit at a table incorrectly, it is provided with health problems: scoliosis, vision impairment, problems with joints. Just a properly selected table will avoid these problems.

The most optimal option is an adjustable table, it is able to adjust to the growth of the child and will last for many years without loss of functionality and usefulness.

The essence of the adjustable table is that it is a kind of transformer that adapts to the growth and composition of the child: its legs rise higher or lower so that the table top is at the correct level, and its inclination changes so that the child holds his head and arms smoothly, without tension .

From what can be made adjustable table

Today, there are several variants of models of such tables on the market. First of all, they differ in the type of execution - they are found wooden, plastic and on a metal frame.

Plastic tables, as a rule, have an attractive appearance and are especially suitable for young children. They are light and mobile, do not take up much space. Their bright appearance is capable of motivating a child to pursue it. Plastic is not afraid of water, a damp rag or a sponge, so you can safely draw, sculpt and play with water.

For older children, a wooden adjustable table is suitable. The worktop is usually made of chipboard, which gives it strength, and the frame is made of metal, which gives a margin of safety for many years to come. Often such models are wheeled for greater mobility.

There are models from solid wood, they are heavier and more bulky, but also more reliable. In addition, it is less likely that a small child will overtake such a table.

Variants of constructions

As for the configuration and design of the tables, the options are usually two:

• A separate table;

• Desk, that is, a table with a bench.

The first option is more convenient for an adult child - the chair can be moved as close or far from the table as possible, however this chair itself will have to be bought separately. The desk is fully staffed, and the bench is at the correct distance from the countertop, so the desk is more convenient for young children: you do not need to constantly monitor how the child is sitting.

Also such a student's table, adjustable in height, is often completed besides a table top and a shelf above it, where it is possible to put books or put writing materials. There are also those who are equipped with boxes for the office and textbooks.

There are more simple models that only have legs extended - a table with adjustable height grows with the child. But for the right letter it is better to have an inclined top. It can rise from the base at different angles, or maybe a structure that adjusts the legs.

This is enough to make lessons or draw, but for greater comfort, you can supplement the table with a curbstone or side shelf. The depth of any desk is usually 55-58 centimeters.

The height of the adjustable table can increase with the growth of the child, and, as a rule, these models are suitable for kids from 5 years to infinity, that is, from a height of 120 centimeters to 2 meters. To provide convenience in this growth range, the height of the table usually changes from 53 to 78 or even 80 centimeters.

There are tables for babies, their height is usually regulated within 30-50 centimeters.
