more often used in the high schools, are blend
of a chair and a desk providing both the advantages

- Chairs: A standard adult chair
often measures 17- 18 inches from the floor to the
top of the seat. If you are buying
chair for a particular child, you should find a
little bigger piece and let him/her grow into it.

leg from the base to the break in his knee.

seats are stronger and durable
than plastic ones but they cost more.

your school, emphasis on their utilization.

rooms, and computer labs. Library tables offer

versatility to users and come in different types.
School tables
should always be bought keeping in mind the comfort
factor of students as well as their proper utilization.
