Material of children's furniture
Choosing furniture for the schoolchildren's room, parents want to buy not only beautiful products, but also strong enough. The main attention is paid to the material from which they are made.
Particleboard
Furniture for the student, made of chipboard, is considered the cheapest. But its quality corresponds to the price - after 6-8 years of service it breaks down. If the furniture is purchased with the expectation of several years, then this option is quite acceptable.
One of the drawbacks of chipboard products is the presence of formaldehyde resins in them, which fasten the material of the boards - wood shavings and sawdust. They are toxic and can have a negative impact on the health of the child. But there is an emission class E1, which is considered the safest and is allowed for the manufacture of children's furniture. There are absolutely safe plates. Material with the emission class E0( Super E) is expensive and in our country in the production of furniture is almost not used.
Buying furniture for the schoolboy, for the house, from the chipboard pay attention to the edges - they must be closed. Pasting with a decorative film will reduce harmful emissions. In addition, certificates of conformity must be checked.
MDF
MDF is a tile material based on dry wood pressed chips. The cost of furniture from it is higher. But this is justified by the environmental friendliness of the material - it does not release hazardous substances, and is strong enough in comparison with particleboard.
The disadvantages of MDF include low fire resistance and resistance to moisture. In addition, despite the fact that the products of this material are "stronger" than from the chipboard, but they are easily amenable to mechanical damage.
Solid wood
Natural wood is the most environmentally friendly and durable material. It is resistant to rot and humidity, but is vulnerable to damage, and requires a neat attitude. This factor is important when choosing the environment for a children's room, since the cost of wooden furniture is much higher than that of products made from any other materials. It is worth thinking about - to buy one such table or several from MDF for the same price.
Advantages and disadvantages of materials:
- Particleboard - dangerous and unreliable, but cheap;
- MDF - safe, affordable, but not always reliable;
- solid wood - environmentally friendly, aesthetic, practical, but very expensive.
We divide the schooler's room into the
areas If the room size allows furniture assistance the schoolboy's room is divided into different zones:
- for sleep;
- for training - working area;
- for storing things and toys;
- for leisure.
Each of the zones is designed to create the most comfortable environment for the child. His sex also influences the choice of furniture. Girls prefer light, soft colors, smoothed corners.
Children's furniture for the school boy is usually more practical. Dark, juicy colors, durability of interior items, free space are the main characteristics of a small man's room.
Sleeping area
Strong, restful sleep is necessary for a good rest of the child. His sleeper should have certain characteristics:
- comfortable folding mechanism of the sofa or armchair;
- compliance of furniture material with sanitary standards;
- removable sofa upholstery - this option will clean or replace the cover;
- orthopedic mattress - it is during the school years that the child's spine forms;
- natural material of mattress fillers and pillows;
- matched the size of the bed to the age and height of the child.
For younger students, a sleeping place is equipped in a more "fabulous" version - for example, a bed with a canopy( for girls) or a loft bed.
The latter option is very convenient for small rooms. Below you can arrange a place for games. Sometimes here they organize a work area, but this will require additional lighting.
Working area
The correct organization of the student's work area is the most important in the arrangement of his room. The table and chair are its main elements, so you should choose these interior items very carefully.
Often, the student's desk is furniture, which is bought "for growth".This is partly justified, since there are models equipped with a telescopic support. Thanks to this part, the height of the table is adjustable from 550 to 750 mm. But such models are suitable for children of young and middle age. In any case, a teenager will have to buy an "adult" desk.
School desk for the junior high school student
Since the first days of schooling, the child's spine is under heavy load. The formation of posture is just beginning and the lessons for an unsuitable table will have a negative impact on children's health. Modern desks are strikingly different from the cumbersome inconvenient "objects" that stood in the classrooms until very recently. They have an adjustment not only for height, but also for the angle of inclination of the countertop. Taking into account the peculiarities of the child's anatomy, the manufacturers created desks that do not overload the schoolboy's backbone.
Advantages of desks:
- compact dimensions;
- height and tilt adjustable table top;
- availability of convenient accessories: a mobile ruler, drawers, a hook for a backpack, etc.
The drawbacks of the desk include the sloping surface of the countertop - it is difficult to lay out books on it. That's why when choosing a desk, you should pay attention to the range of the angle of the table top. The best option is 0-16 degrees. At the right time, the surface of the desk is horizontal.
Table for the student
Modern writing tables for children have the most diverse form: semicircular, rectangular, square, angular. The choice depends on the location and size of the room.
In addition to the form, there are certain parameters that should correspond to the school table:
- Dimensions - for the elementary school student, there will be enough worktops 600x600 mm, because the computer at this age will only distract from the lessons. But for a middle-aged and older child, it is used not only for games, but also for study. The optimal distance from the eyes to the monitor is 70 cm, so the table top should be deeper - 70-80 cm.
- The height of the table should correspond to the height of the child. Correctly selected model has the following parameters:
- the level of the baby's breast is higher than the countertop by several centimeters;
- if the schoolboy puts his elbows on the table and straightens the brush, then the middle finger is at eye level;
- baby's elbows are loosely located on the countertop.
- Distance to the feet of the child: depth - 45 cm, width - 50 cm.
- Presence of boxes for notebooks, textbooks and stationery. If they are not enough, an additional shelf is bought, which is located near the table.
- Calm colors of furniture.
- Environmentally friendly materials.
Angular furniture becomes more and more popular, a schoolchild's corner in this case requires more space, but they are conveniently located both books and a computer.
For a family with several children, models of elongated or square tables divided into individual zones are developed.
The dimensions of some rooms sometimes do not allow for convenient placement of the schoolchild's corner, custom-made furniture is the best option in this case. It will match the parameters of the apartment and fit into any interior.
Chair for schoolchild
Correctly selected chair will also help to avoid complications with school posture. It should have the following characteristics:
- Good stability, flat and firm back - orthopedists do not recommend buying a child office swivel chairs on wheels.
- Suitable for height growth of a schoolboy - the ankle, knee and hip joints of a sitting child are bent at right angles. If the chair is too high, then under the feet you can substitute a stool.
- There are models that are designed to "grow".They have seat height adjustment.
- Hard enough seat.
- Absence of armrests - the child's elbows should lie on the table, otherwise the load on the cervical spine increases.
Storage area
In the storage area of things and toys, there are cupboards, shelves and drawers. Unfortunately, not always the dimensions of the apartment allow to allocate space for this situation. The child's room should be spacious and sometimes it is better to take out cabinets outside of it or purchase multi-level furniture - it will help to save space and is usually very popular with children.
One of the options to decorate the interior of the student's room is to buy a complete set, which includes all the necessary items: bed, wardrobe, shelves, table, chairs, etc.
