Choosing a table for a child

Parents sooner or later wonder about what to choose a table for the child. After all, the kid grew up, now he needs a working place, where he can independently study and prepare homework.

How to choose a high-quality and comfortable table for a child who will be able to serve him for more than one year? First you need to determine the size of the table top. It should be remembered that the student's workplace should be equipped with a sufficient number of boxes for storing notebooks, textbooks and other school supplies. It will not be superfluous to have a built-in bedside table or shelf. All additional items must be properly distributed in the workplace so that the baby can conveniently get things. If you decide to purchase a computer table for the child, make sure that the student has enough space for classes. Pay attention to the presence of a footrest. Think about what will be on the table, and, based on this, choose the size of the countertop.

According to the recommendations of specialists this interior should have a depth of 60 centimeters and a width of at least one meter. The space under the countertop should be approximately 50 by 50 cm. Not bad, if the product will be supplemented with adjustable legs (this will allow you to change the height in accordance with the growth of the child). Pay attention to how the kid sits at the table. Ideally, his legs should be bent at the ankle, hip and knee joints at an angle of 90 degrees, and shoulders should not be raised. Only such a workplace will be safe for physiological development. Not bad, if the corners of the table are rounded (this will avoid possible injuries).

When buying this piece of furniture, you should pay due attention to its quality. The main materials from which today's desks are produced are the chipboard, chipboard and MDF. Let's consider their characteristics. The most common material is a chipboard, characterized by durability and strength. However, the table for the child from the chipboard is not so safe. The thing is that the resin, which is glued with sawdust, contains a dangerous formaldehyde, harmful to human health. That is why the surface of the chipboard should be reliably protected with veneer or a film. Furniture made from this material is best purchased by well-known brands. It will have a certificate of quality and a hygienic certificate confirming its safety. A table for a child made from chipboard is relatively inexpensive. However, this material is even more harmful to health than a chipboard. Therefore, the quality certificate for furniture from the chipboard is mandatory. A desk for a child from the MDF will be the safest and most environmentally friendly. The accessories are best chosen from steel alloys, since aluminum products are short-lived. Picking up the table for the baby, remember that he must like his little owner, so that he had the desire to teach him lessons, draw, read and do other things. And do not forget about a good chair, preferably with the ability to adjust the height.
