Ever thought about asking the question of your students? What student tables and chairs would make them feel comfortable. What furniture, in a classroom, lecture room, laboratory or library, would make them feel inspired and welcoming. What kind of student furniture would make them want to work harder and be productive? This is what a school needs to think about when undergoing a refurbishment. What is the latest kind of school furniture, would the kids like it, would the parents like it, is the cost okay and in budget, and will the furniture last a long time. The answer to all of this needs to be YES!
How to choose school furniture
Remember that school furniture has come a long way since the old wooden desk and chair days, and student table makers in Australia offer furniture that is a lot more comfortable, a lot more practical, a lot more inviting, and a lot more sturdy. Furniture, for both the student and the teacher, needs to be practical. There needs to be some storage space. There needs to be enough space for a few books and a few pieces of stationery. The chairs need to be well designed. And both the tables and the chairs need to be light enough so they are easy to manoeuvre.
If you are the person in charge of refurbishing the school furnishings, look at school furniture catalogues. Look online and get ideas, including from apps or platforms like Pinterest. And chat to the specialists who have been designing school furnishings for decades. They moved on from the old brown wooden tables and chairs decades ago. It is probably time for you to move on too.
Chat to your students. Maybe your furnishings are just up their alley. If not, ask what kind of school chairs and student tables would appeal to them.
