Properties of a correct chair — Properties of a proper chair that you need to pay attention to

When choosing furniture, consider the following.

Durability. The design must be reliable. The frame is mainly aluminum or steel to increase the service life. If there are wheels, carefully inspect them. The presence of locks for rotation and movement is mandatory. To increase the stability of the furniture, it is equipped with 5 support points.
Safety. Choose models only from high-quality materials that are environmentally friendly. There should be no paint or varnish that can cause an allergic reaction.
Practicality and functionality. Pay attention to the upholstery material. The chair will need care and if it is something ordinary, you need to immediately understand how easy it will be to get rid of dirt. The presence of a cover in the kit will be an advantage.

An important issue is the need for armrests. Some doctors believe that they have too relaxing an effect on the back muscles, and the student, leaning on them, begins to slouch. Therefore, it is worth considering whether they are necessary. If it is a standard chair, then there may be no armrests. Otherwise, they will provoke an incorrect body position. And if the child leans only on them, the spine will be curved. If the product resembles a chair, then armrests are a must. In addition, the furniture has a supporting back.

Correct fit — Proper posture at the desk will ensure your child has a healthy spine and protect it from curvature.

If the design is purchased for a computer desk, then handrails are a must. When you pull out the keyboard, there will be no room to place your hands comfortably. Therefore, it will be convenient to put them on the armrests. Additionally, handrails will help to correctly direct the body.
