Classroom Tables & Chairs

Over the course of their career, many teachers find themselves asking the question, “are classroom tables or individual desks better for my space and the learning needs of my students?” As with any important decision, each alternative has its own set of pros and cons. Desks are widely popular for their storage options, their ability to be separated for privacy during testing, and their layout versatility. On the other hand, classroom tables promote community, are great for collaborative learning, and save valuable classroom space.

Whichever you decide, purchasing desks and school tables with chairs in the correct size is imperative for the comfort of your students. From the floor to the chair seat bottom is the correct way to measure a desk or school chair. Following are the guidelines for age-to-chair height:

• Toddler thru Preschool: 10-inch chair height
• Preschool thru Grade 1: 12-inch chair height
• Grade 1 thru Grade 2: 14-inch chair height
• Grade 2 thru Grade 3: 16-inch chair height
• Grade 4 on up: 18-inch chair height
