School Desks Introductory Buying guide

How do I choose the right School Desks for me?

Choosing the right School Desk will depend on how you intend to use them.

• Will you need to stack the school desks to one side?
• Will you want to regularly change your classroom layout?
• Or will the school desks stay in one place most of the time?
• Have you considered whether you might need more than one size of school desk in the same room to suit the different heights and sizes of your students?
• The Metaliform range of school desks suits all of these different needs and here we explain the different features and what to look out for when choosing what to buy.

School Desks that meet the British Standard for Strength, Stability and Ergonomics

The first starting point is to make sure that you choose school desks which meet the current standard for school furniture. This is called BSEN1729 and meeting this standard ensures that your school desks are the right size for students and can stand up to the rigours of school use. All Metalliform School Desks are certified (link to product certs) to BSEN1729 so you can buy with confidence.

Making sure your School Desks are the right size

You will have noticed that in recent years children are getting bigger. Because of this School Desks are now made bigger too! What you may not realise is that at any given age there is also a much bigger range of heights and sizes of students. This means that a one size fits all approach to kitting out a classroom may not suit the needs of your students. The best place for guidance is www.schoolfurniture.uk.com
