The tables themselves, in most cases, also have a rectangular shape, sometimes with rounded corners. But sometimes you can find an unusual table, rounded in shape and with wavy edges, a table with an elongated and narrow tabletop or, in general, a tabletop in the form of a triangle.
It is necessary to select the shape of the table and chair taking into account the age and weight of the child, as well as taking into account the exact actions for which these pieces of furniture will be used in the future.
For example, the table for drawing and writing should be rectangular and rather wide, but not triangular, otherwise the child will simply be uncomfortable.

The plastic table and chair are made of special plastic, which has a fairly high level of safety, is non-toxic and very durable. The advantages of furniture made from this material are low cost, the presence of bright colors, light weight, ease of care and use, and a long service life. But at the same time, most of the models of plastic furniture has weight restrictions, and this indicator must be taken into account when buying.
Wooden models can be made from several varieties of this material:
- Wood massif. The strongest, most durable and safest material, while also the most expensive. If you are inclined to products made from it, then it is better to turn your gaze to models designed for children with a height of over 145 cm.
- Chipboard - laminated chipboard. Quite strong and durable material. In order to be sure of the safety of furniture made from it, you should buy a table and chair with the E0 marking. It means that the product does not emit formaldehyde.

How to choose furniture for a child?
Such a variety of models can be confusing. Therefore, in order to get a really high-quality, durable and suitable table with a chair, you should heed the recommendations:
- It is necessary to purchase furniture in accordance with the age of the child. The exception is tables with a crown of transformers, which can be increased over time. It is not worth purchasing other types of such furniture for a child to grow. Firstly, over a long service life, it can lose its appearance, and the child can break some of its parts, and secondly, the baby will be uncomfortable sitting at the table and on a chair that are not suitable for his age and build.
- If the child is a creative person, then you should not save money, and you should purchase a transforming table or a model with two tabletops. In this case, there will be a place for both classes and for the creative process itself. In addition, this option will be a great way to beautifully furnish a small room.
Folding models are also welcome if the room itself is small, because if necessary, the table and chair can be easily removed and free up enough space for outdoor games.
- Those who travel frequently and take a children's chair and table with them should also look at folding or folding models, preferably made of plastic.
- For children under the age of five, it is better to purchase plastic furniture after all. It is easier to clean, lighter and usually brighter in color. If preference is given to wooden furniture, then you need to make sure that the tabletop has a protective coating.
- When purchasing a bright and colorful children's table with a highchair, you should pay attention to its colors and sizes. The color of the furniture should either overlap with the general color scheme of the room, or become the highlight of the room. Dimensions should not only suit the age and height of the child, but also the room. Too small a table in a large nursery will be lost, and too large in a small room, on the contrary, clutter up the room.
Using these recommendations in practice, you can easily purchase a set of children's furniture that is ideal for your child.
Where to put it?
The correct arrangement of such furniture is no less troublesome. It all depends on the age of the child and on the type of table and chair purchased, as well as options for their use.
Toddler tables designed for feeding, board games and drawing are best set up in the middle of the room, while freeing up enough space near the wall for their further installation. Simply put, you need to play and feed the child in the middle of the room, and after the end of these procedures, the table is removed.
If the model is stationary and purchased for installation in the kitchen at a common table, then such a table with a chair should be placed near the table, preferably next to the parents.
Tables for creativity should be installed so that they are sufficiently well lit and there are no other objects around them, preferably within a radius of half a meter. Tables with chairs for study should be placed as close to windows as possible so that they are well lit, while the main stream of light should fall from the left side.
The area of the room also plays a significant role in the installation of such furniture. In each case, the installation option will be different, the main thing is to remember the following:
- The table and chair should be well lit.
- New strands should not block the passage to other objects in the room.
- The table and chair should be positioned in such a way that the child is comfortable to sit and does not obstruct his vision.
- The installation site should be clearly visible not only from all corners of the nursery, but also from other rooms.
The appearance and construction of the furniture must also be considered. Folding models and models of transformers can be placed where it is convenient now, because after use they can be easily removed.
Stationary tables with chairs should be placed where they will not interfere, but at the same time the child will be comfortable.
