Providing the right furniture to your child can help foster success with learning while also supporting their physical needs during long study hours. No matter a child's age, having the right computer furniture can help your child thrive. The key is to know what to buy to ensure you are getting high-quality products that your children will be able to benefit from for years to come. Whether you need a kids computer desk or perhaps a chair, it helps to take a few extra minutes to compare a few options to find those that are going to provide you with everything you need. Let our team at Lenovo help you find what you need specifically.

Kid's Computer Desk Decisions

For those who are looking to purchase a desk for their child for a computer, there are a few things to consider before making the purchase. A desk for a child needs to fit their needs but also fit your budget. Lenovo may offer just what you need. Here are some factors to keep in mind as you compare the options in desks available to you.

·         Type of computer: As you consider the options in a kid’s computer desk, one of the first decisions you need to make is about the actual type of computer used on it. A desktop may have a large monitor along with a tower that needs to be placed to allow for easy use. It may be possible to purchase a smaller desk if your child is using a smaller laptop or Chromebook. While some desks are versatile enough for any type of computer, larger systems need a sturdier and larger space to meet most needs.

·         Height: As a child grows, they may need their desk to grow with them. That may be easier to do than you realize when it comes to choosing a desk. Some are highly adjustable. That means you may spend a bit more now and buy a higher quality desk, but it will last your child through elementary school and beyond, making it a one-time purchase. Also, depending on the type of hair the student uses, it may be beneficial for you to choose an adjustable desk. That way, they are comfortable and do not have to reach too far. That type of reaching often ends up creating accidents.

If it is adjustable, make sure it is easy to adjust. Some feature a pneumatic lift-assist feature, which makes raising and lowering it very easy to do. At the same time, it is not going to slip out of position. A sturdy desk is also important.

·         Damage resistant: Some desks provide you with the ability to be scratch resistant. While this may not be important for the function of the desk, it is an important decision when it comes to the way it looks and how long it may last for you. It is worth spending a few extra minutes to consider your options when it comes to a desk that is durable enough not to scratch or become damaged by spills.

·         Work surface: Compare the size of the work surface on several desks to determine which one works best for your needs. A larger work surface allows for the student to be able to place his or her laptop or computer keyboard, monitor, and mouse on the surface and have enough room for paper or textbooks next to them. That can help to make sure they can work easily and quickly to get the job done and even use their workspace for other needs, such as craft projects or storage.

When considering the overall size and the amount of workspace, be sure to consider how well the device fits into your home and the room it will be placed in. If the work surface is too large, it may take up too much room in your child's bedroom or office space, making it much more difficult to use it reliably.

·         Frame type: If you plan to buy a kid’s computer desk that is super reliable and lasts for years to come, you need to know what type of material the frame itself is made from. Some of the best features is a steel frame which means it is unlikely the frame will bend or break when used, leaned on, or even toppled over. Look for those that have protective coatings on the steel to minimize any wear and tear on it. For example, some feature powder coating on the legs, which helps to make it resistant to rusting.

Computer Desk Chairs

The next piece of kid’s computer furniture your child needs is a chair. It may be possible to pick up a chair that is designed for an adult to use, but before you do that, be sure it is going to be a comfortable fit for your child, especially when it comes to choosing the desk and chair together. Look for a kids computer chair that they like and that they feel comfortable using, too. Here are some features to consider in these chairs.

·         Sizing: Take a closer look at the size options in kids computer desk chairs to get a good understanding of how well they may work for your needs. Some of the best chairs are versatile enough to be adjusted up and down. However, you also want to consider how well the chair fits them in width. One of the ways to know this is to consider the weight limits on the chair. You want to be sure your child is under the weight limit listed on the chair. However, you also want to be sure that, as your child grows, the weight limit is not met. It is just as important to make sure the chair is not too large for them. If the chair is for a larger person, they may not be supported properly while working on the laptop if they are a very small child.

When it comes to height, be sure to consider the height of the student’s desk where they plan to use the chair. Be sure the chair you buy can fit under the desk properly to provide a secure and comfortable fit. Most chairs offer numerous height adjustment options, but you want to double-check that it is possible to adjust it properly.

·         Ergonomic design: Many students will spend a lot of time working on their computers. That means hours where their posture is at risk. The best way to prevent posture-related problems is to invest in a chair that offers an ergonomic design. This means that they will have features in the chair to help to provide them with ample comfort and support.

For example, some chairs have a lumbar feature. This can provide ample back support for a person working all day. It is nearly always a good idea to look for a chair that offers lots of support, specifically in the back as well as in the armrests. You want to be sure they are supported properly. Some kid’s computer chair options may have sizing options that are perfect for the child specifically.

·         Cushion: You may not think that the cushion on the chair is a big deal, but it is an important factor when it comes to choosing a kid’s computer chair. The seat needs to be comfortable and supportive. At the same time, you want to be sure the seat is designed to offer enough room for them to feel comfortable. Some chairs have a waterfall cushion. That means that the seat edge does not have sharp ends but rather is smoother and has a rounded edge. This not only makes the seat more comfortable, but it can also minimize leg strain that is often common in these chairs when used for long hours.

·         The back: The chair back also helps to contribute to a student’s ability to function at their best. For example, some kid’s computer desk chairs have a mesh back to them. This helps to allow airflow and can help them to keep cool even when the weather is very hot. It can add to the overall comfort of the chair while providing lots of lumbar support.

 Consider a Table

A kids computer table may be an option for many students. If you have a classroom or just multiple children in your home, you may want to invest in a kid’s computer table instead of individual desks. This is a more affordable option, and it is especially beneficial in classrooms when you need multiple places for students to sit in groups. A table works well in a home, too, when you want the child to have lots of room to spread out to use all of the computer systems, books, and other items they need. 

Tables need the same type of scrutiny, comparing what they are made from, their size, and the overall space they offer. Be sure that the desk chairs you have now or those that you purchase can work well for the table you are buying.
