Standard height of the kitchen table: from the floor to the dining table top

Normative documents regulate the dimensions of furniture items. The main one is GOST 13025.3-85. In accordance with its provisions, the distance from the floor to the lower plane of the countertop is set to a minimum of 0.61 m, respectively, to its top, the size of the distances varies from 0, 72 to 0, 78 meters.

The unit of reference is usually the average height of a person - 1.65 meters. This is what causes the inconvenience that sometimes arises when the table is low or, on the contrary, extremely high, since everyone has different growths.

Discomfort is expressed in the inconvenience of using correctly and fully cutlery if the countertop is excessively high. If the table is low and it is impossible to take a comfortable pose, since you have to bend over, stoop, then by the end of the meal there will be a feeling of tiredness and aching in the spine.

Formula for calculating the height of the table

There is a simple technique for interpreting the average standard value of the height of the tabletop (Hst ≈ 0.75 m), taking into account the average growth rate (Psr = 1.65 m), according to one's own height (P). The ideal height of the selected dining table (N) is calculated by the formula:

For example, having a height of P = 1.8 m, the most comfortable arrangement will be observed at the table with the following calculated height:

H = 0.75 ∙ 1.8 / 1.65 ≈ 0.82 m.

Of course, such a calculation is rationally suitable for one person, but more often several households gather for a meal. In such a situation, it is advisable to take the arithmetic mean growth of adult family members as a basis, and for the younger generation, you can purchase special chairs that make it easy to adjust their height.

Optimum desktop height

It is important to know and take into account the optimal height of the desktops, in which the hostess spends a lot of time. Ideally, compliance should be respected, with the standard kitchen in each functional area having a specific purpose, focused on the standard range of heights (m):

• washing dishes - 0.85 ÷ 0.95,
• cutting raw products - 0.82 ÷ 0.85,
• cooking - 0.8 ÷ 0.85,
• kneading, rolling dough - 0.7 ÷ 0.82,
• workspace for the installation of kitchen appliances, pots with prepared food and other needs - 0.85 ÷ 0.87.

If we take for example a cutting surface, which with average growth rates (1.65 m) should rise above the floor by a maximum of 0.82 m, then for a higher person this figure should be increased. You can make an approximate list of the optimal height of the desktop.

• A height of 1.7 m will require a cutting plane height of 0.85 m.
• At 1.75 m, a worktop level with a mark of 0.87 m is advisable.
• If the growth reaches 1.8 m, it is more convenient to work on a surface that is 0.9 m from the floor.

Knowing these patterns provides significant assistance if you plan to make your own kitchen furniture.

In furniture collections, the standard height of kitchen tables is usually 0.85 m. This does not always suit women, especially men who are quite impressive in height. Manufacturers took into account the relevance of such a problem and now you can purchase a model of a table for the kitchen, which allows you to adjust the vertical level of its installation.

Chair height

In order for the optimal height of the countertop, selected in exact accordance with the growth, to be really convenient, it is necessary to correctly select the chairs. Based on the calculated values ​​according to the above formula, it follows from the result obtained, subtract 0.45 m with high (> 1.7 m) growth, respectively, 42 m if average growth (≈ 1.65 m) and 0.4 for low person (

The dimensions of the countertop should ensure the freedom of each person, which will require a minimum of 0.7 m of space per person. Based on this, it is not difficult to determine the area of ​​the future countertop, which will not cause irritation due to cramped and lack of comfort, if the calculations are done correctly.

How high should the kitchen table be?

Given that its main function is to be a dining area, there is only one solution. The height is selected in such a way as to provide comfortable conditions for the whole family. If a person is an adherent of oriental culture, then the choice of height will be reduced only to the thickness of the tablecloth, since meals and tea drinking take place on the floor. However, not everyone is ready to radically change their addictions.

There is another proven way - to choose the first available option suitable for the rest of the furniture.

In 40% of cases, it will be convenient for everyone, in 60% you have to make happy relatives or friends with a gift in the form of a kitchen table or sell it by advertisement.

It is a pity that neither the first nor the second option as a whole will help, since the next purchase will have to take into account all the requirements and calculations.

What you need to consider when choosing this piece of furniture to make it convenient:

1. The number of people who will sit behind him at the same time. The width of the table and its height relative to the proportions depend on this.
2. The material of manufacture. The wooden version can be ordered in height, taking into account the desired dimensions. Metal is made according to ready-made standards. Adjustable can be customized. As a rule, it has a central focus, which is undesirable if the house has children.
3. Who and how much time will sit at the table on average. This is a functional area that can be used not only for lunch, but also for creativity, work, a place of rest.
4. The optimal average size of living growth, taking into account the life of the furniture. This is necessary for the correct distribution of the load on the skeleton and normal digestion.
5. Type of model: built-in kitchen, transforming, small-sized, round, oval, rectangular, square or non-traditional shape. The larger the size of the kitchen, the larger the table space and the wider the range of models.

GOST: what standards and ready-made options exist

The standard size was developed during the Soviet Union, but the average growth rate has changed since then. If earlier it was possible to meet the size of models corresponding to 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 cm in height, now the main emphasis is on models where the standard height of the kitchen table is 75 cm.

If you search, you can meet other product standards from the list. However, the choice is limited because the range is narrowed.

The table height parameter of 75 cm is not the most convenient for a person who is above 190 cm. And if additional lower elements are still attached to it, then it can be used only as a decor or stand. Even cooking will not be comfortable with such a product. There are only two ways out: to make to order or with your own hands.

A bit of arithmetic

If the countertop did not fit, you can always spend a little more to replace it. The reason can be any: damage, design, material, shape, color. A miscalculation with a height will turn out to be more expensive than a countertop, because you will have to pay with convenience and health.

A typical situation: knees rest on a low table - a blow from below - and now part of the lunch on the table. As a result, irritation, quarrel, lost appetite and spoiled mood. The low location still threatens to slouch. As a result, the stomach and intestines are clamped. There will no longer be comfortable digestion. No heartburn and pain - already good.

If low does not fit, then you need to take higher, with stock. But then one may encounter difficulties of a different nature. If you quickly drink tea, then there will be a minimum of negative influence, but if a feast is foreseen or you need to do some work for it?

Half an hour at such a table can lead to aches in the cervical and thoracic regions, and will cause strain on the arms and shoulders. This cannot have a positive effect on the mood of family members.

With different home growth, the way out with a minimum of the puzzle is a table where there is a central adjustable leg. Then it remains to choose the color and size that will fit into the kitchen interior.

However, there is also some problem here - streamlined models require more space to accommodate. With the small dimensions of the kitchen, such an installation will occupy all the free space. As a result, there will be no possibility of free access to the stove or sink during lunch.

The height of the kitchen table from the floor is calculated by the formula:

1. For adults: 178 * 75/167 = 80 (cm).
2. For children and adults, the average value: 146 * 75 / ((178 + 167) / 2) = 63.5 (cm).
3. The average optimal value with constant use of the table by all family members: (80 + 63.5) / 2 = 72 (cm).

These calculations are based on the fact that the height of adults is 167, 178 cm, and that of a child is 146 (126 (cm) - 6 (years) + 20 (cm) increases, taking into account five years of operation).

If the table is used only by adults, without children, the most convenient ready-made solution is a table top 78 cm from the floor or to order - 80 cm.

If children spend more time at the table, then you need to choose models with a standard of 72 cm. Such a choice can minimize discomfort for all family members. Ideal option with the ability to change the height of the countertops.

The width and length of the kitchen desktop are selected taking into account the remaining free space from the placed household appliances and the kitchen set.

If you consider that the medium-sized kitchen of the apartment has 2x2.2 m of remaining free space after installing the kitchen furniture, the width of the table is calculated as follows:

• 40 cm of space for movement in the working area,
• 38 cm - the distance of the chair to the table,
• 52 cm is the width of the chair.

If the table is placed near the wall, the rest of the perimeter should have an allowance of 90 cm for chairs and 40 cm for the working area:

• 220 - 90 - 40 = 90 (cm) - the maximum size of a comfortable width,
• 200 - 90 = 110 (cm) - the maximum size of a convenient length.

Therefore, the size of the table should not exceed these indicators in order to fit ergonomically into the room.

Decision optimization when choosing

It’s good when you immediately manage to decide who the height of the table will be fundamentally important for. If there is no priority, then a reasonable solution would be to adjust the maximum level of the countertop to the hostess, who spends a third of her life in the kitchen. We have to apply a philosophical approach and use the additional features of the proposals of furniture manufacturers.

For children, you can use removable seat covers made of different materials. They can be selected for any design. If the child spends a lot of time at the table, then a footrest is used. The same solution will allow hospitable owners to create comfort for visitors.

Having decided on the height of the table, it is worth paying attention to its shape:

1. The classic working version is rectangular. It is spacious, but has its drawbacks, since the minimum length is 150 cm. It will look bulky in a small room.
2. Square. Due to its small size, this is a standard option for a small kitchen. If you need more space for lunch, it is better to purchase a folding design. This will allow you to take a minimum of space in the normal period and make it convenient during lunch.
3. Round. It is also suitable for a small kitchen. The average width is 90 cm. It is chosen when the design of the kitchen unit has streamlined shapes. This option fits perfectly into the space.
4. Oval. This model is from the field of classical solutions. This form has always been preferred. It erases the psychological boundaries between the people present. Oval products are chosen for large rooms. In a small one, they look too bulky and rather interfere than fulfill their functions.

Transformers are universal, they allow you to place on your surface devices for 1 person, and for 6 people. He will easily satisfy the needs of adults. However, for children who like to lean on the surface with all their weight, this option carries an element of danger, since the center of gravity of the table is narrowed due to the type of support.

DIY kitchen table

If a person’s needs cannot be satisfied with the ready-made proposals of furniture manufacturers, you can make a table with your own hands made of wood. Firstly, it is beautiful, and secondly, the height and length can be made for yourself, without compromising your interests in favor of the usual standard size. Original design is also of great importance. In the presence of a bench or universal machine, modeling possibilities are not limited.

To manufacture a product with a central focus, you will need the following:

• material for countertops. Budget solution - laminated particleboard. More expensive - planks of wood, central and for fastening around the perimeter,
• material for legs (3-4 chrome-plated rods of 60 mm, parallel bars or curly balusters). The height of the legs of the bar must be calculated taking into account the support,
• fasteners for fixing to the countertop and supports in the floor for the bar,
• cross and angular fastenings for bars,
• boards for creating the supporting skeleton of the table under the countertop,
• screws, glue.

Technology

All wooden components of the countertops are prepared in shape and size. After that, the end parts are treated with glue on wood and fastened together. When the glue dries, the countertops are given the desired shape and polished, removing all the gaps. To design the perimeter, you can use decor with central fixation. A cut is made in the center of the edges to fix the decor to the table.

With the help of glue, screws and fasteners, the table frame is assembled. The width of the skeleton under the countertop is done taking into account the fact that its depth under it should not interfere with the knees of the seated person. Slab and cross boards are attached to the legs.

For stability, angular stops are made so that the product leg is in a constant position. They can be made of wood or metal. The finished skeleton is cleaned and processed. Many people prefer OSMO.

It contains natural wax, flaxseed oil and a refined component that gives a minimal smell during processing. This procedure allows the product to last longer. There are also various color options.

To attach the countertop to the base, you can use two methods:

1. Mounting in the countertop is done by pasting the transverse planks of the core into the product array. To do this, they are glued above the transverse ones. The distance should be 0.7–1 cm and above. At the bottom of the product, cuts are made according to the marks. Assemble the table with wood glue.
2. The table top is attached to the base with metal angles. Hardware stores can offer different options depending on the mass of the product.

The legs are fastened in a simplified way. They are simply screwed to the base, using ready-made options for stops and internal inserts for tight fixation. After the table is assembled, it is checked for sharp corners and gaps.

The choice of table height always remains with family members.

If you approach the issue comprehensively, it will be not only convenient, but will also help maintain good health. It doesn’t matter in favor of what the choice was made - a ready-made solution according to the standard or do it yourself. The main thing is that the whole family can gather for him and he will answer all the requests.

Personal comfort zone

Let's start by placing one person at the table. In order to place a large plate and appliances on the countertop, you will need a plot measuring 55 x 35 cm.It is these standards that guide manufacturers.

If you want the participants of the meal to feel more comfortable and not pushing with their elbows, add another 5-10 cm wide for each. You should also allocate a place for additional dishes in the center.

Kitchen table standard

The size of the average Russian family is usually 3-4 people. It is so nice to get together with loved ones and have dinner with everyone. But, often, the small area of ​​a typical kitchen imposes its limitations. And there are no options. The optimal solution is a rectangular table with a minimum size.

Minimum table size for 4 people: 70 x 110 cm. It can be said, the generally accepted standard of the kitchen table for standard apartments. If you place it with a long edge against the wall, then three can easily fit behind it, and if it is short - four.

You can solve the problem of guest places by acquiring a sliding model, which increases by an average of 30-40 cm. In addition, you can use one tricky technique - take smaller plates and rearrange the appetizers on a serving table, and there will definitely be a place for a couple of guests.

Standard Dining Table Sizes

• for 4 people: 120 x 90 cm
• for 6 people: 150 x 90 cm
• for 8 people: 200 x 110 cm
• for 10 people: 260 x 110 cm
• for 12 people: 320 x 110 cm

Here is a hint picture, save so as not to lose.

If growth does not fit into GOST

At the dinner table should be comfortable for the whole family. This is an axiom that does not require proof. But achieving harmony is not easy - serial furniture may not work.

The comfortable height of the dining table depends on the level of the chair and the parameters of the person.

The height of the table from the floor to the countertop is designed for a person of average height - 1.65 m. According to the requirements of GOST 13025.3-85 for furniture - the standard height of the dining table is 0.72-0.78 m.

Choosing a table set is necessary, given the growth of all adult family members.

If this is not enough, then the height of the dining table is calculated by the formula:

B is the calculated table height,

PCP is the average height of adult family members,

VGOST - table height according to GOST - 750 mm,

PCT - the average adult height is 1650 mm.

For comparison, in public canteens and eateries the standard height is 65 cm.

If you have a large kitchen, a square table is best.

The average height of your family members is determined by the arithmetic average. According to this formula, the basic ranges for the dining table are calculated:

• Short people (up to 1.5 m) - 0.75-0.77 m,
• Below average height (1.5-1.65 m) - 0.8-0.83 m,
• The standard value in accordance with GOST (1.65-1.8 m) is 0.85-0.9 m,
• For tall (above 1.8 m) - from 1 m.

The kitchen table is the center of the dining area. It should meet the needs of those who live in the house, and those who come to visit.

Every six months, every family gathers for a family celebration. The festive table must satisfy the necessary conditions:

• One person should occupy at least 0.5 m of the perimeter of the countertop,
• Select the height of the table in accordance with the above formula, the width - at least 0.65 m,

The height of the table determines the level of comfort of use. Here it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the physiological structure of the human body.

For normal sitting at the table, we need at least 70 cm, so the average height of the standard table is around 75 cm.

ON A NOTE! Choose compact models with a sliding table top.

It so happened in Europe and Russia - it is customary to sit at a table at a table.

Standard height of the kitchen chair - refers to the height from the floor to the seat 40-45 cm.

It should have a comfortable back and a seat height comfortable for a person, approximately equal to one fourth of the average height of adult family members. With an increase of 1.8 m, its height will be 0.45 m.

The optimum seat depth is 40-45 cm (the seat should not bite under the knees). A person of average height will be comfortable sitting at a table height of 74 cm.

ON A NOTE! The distance from the seat to the countertop should not exceed 0.3-0.34 m.

People of different stature come to visit and to predict the size of the chair in advance will not work. Get one or two chairs with adjustable seat height and footrest for such occasions.

Remember that the standard height of the dining table according to GOST "fit" for a person with a height of 165 cm.

Do not be an elephant in a china shop ...

Are your back and neck tired when working in the kitchen? You have incorrectly selected the height of the kitchen set.

In the design of a kitchen set, there are certain standards that are designed for the comfortable use of furniture and household appliances, storage of products and other things.

The height of the kitchen table for cutting and cooking should be equal to half your height, rounded upwards within 5 cm. With a height of 1.72 m, it will be 0.9-0.95 m.

These optimal sizes are designed for the average growth of the hostess.

The height of the pedestals should be equal to 820 mm, and together with the countertop - 850 mm.

There is another method for selecting a comfortable height for the kitchen table.

1. Bend your arm at the elbow.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the elbow.
3. Take away from him 15 cm.
4. Use the result when choosing a kitchen set.

All the nuances need to be selected in accordance with the needs of the owners and the features of the room.

ON A NOTE! To find out the value for a dishwasher, add 10 cm to the height of the kitchen table.

You don’t need crowbar to keep your back evenly at your desk ...

Having a convenient workplace is necessary for you and your child.

One of the most necessary things for your child at school age will be a desk.

Staying in an uncomfortable position leads to rapid fatigue. In addition, there is a risk of the occurrence or exacerbation of chronic diseases of the spinal and cervical spine.

Choosing a desk will not be difficult if you know only a few basic parameters.

The selection of the height of the table and chair for an adult is carried out using the above formula. Usually they are 0.77-0.82 m and 0.45-0.49 m. The length of the back should be at least 0.35 m.

Correctly calculated height of the computer desk contributes to well-being and productive work.

Determining the optimal dimensions of the table for a child is more difficult than for an adult. Children actively grow up to 18 years, so the furniture will have to be changed every 2-3 years. This problem becomes most urgent from the age of 7, when the child begins to go to school.

Many manufacturers now offer "growing" tables or desks.

When making a purchase, try to maintain the following parameters:

It is highly recommended that desks for children have a slope of the working surface.

Make sure important things are respected:

• The feet of the feet completely touch the floor when bending the legs at an angle of 90 to 100 °,
• The gap between the chest and the edge of the furniture is 0.8 m,
• The seated teenager rests on the countertop with his elbows, without bending his back and not lifting his shoulders high,
• The computer monitor is placed at a distance of at least 0.5 m, the child looks at it at an angle of 0-30 °, bending the neck back is unacceptable. If the furniture is too high, and there is no way to change it, then get a footrest and place a pillow on the chair seat.

If a child sitting at the table lowers his hand down, then the location of his elbow below the tabletop by 5-6 cm is ideal.

With the correct location, the countertop is at the level of the solar plexus of the child.

IMPORTANT! Make the child do a “break” every 40 minutes.

Take care of the health and comfort of your near and dear ones. Correctly selected value of the height of the dining table will add a sense of comfort to a family celebration and will cause a desire to meet again. A kitchen set, designed for the features of the figure of the spouse, will preserve its beautiful posture for many years. Your child sitting at a well-functioning desktop will learn better and be less sick.

In order not to puzzle over the difficult issues of ergonomics of space and the choice of the most convenient dimensions of furniture, there are standard sizes.

Most manufacturers who are in direct contact with the buyer carry out interesting furniture models to fit the size of each individual family.

Normative parameters depending on the type of product

Since there are no universal structures suitable for use in any conditions, you need to know how to choose the table height correctly. First of all, the main criteria are taken into account:

• appointment
• age group of users
• operation features.

There is a concept - the standard height of the tables. It applies only to products of one group, for example, to dining furniture in the kitchen or student desk. For each variety, a specific set of characteristics is calculated, determined by sanitary requirements and GOST. For this reason, the standard height of the dining table, for example, will always differ from the size of the working, magazine or computer sample. It takes into account ergonomic requirements, the specifics of work and the duration of continuous use.

Table parameters are selected depending on the growth of people, 165 cm is taken as an average value for an adult. At the same time, common furniture (kitchen, dining) should have a size convenient for all family members. Since everyone has different growths, it is up to each case to decide which table height will be most suitable.

Today, transformer tables are widely used. They are convenient, save space. In the expanded (working) position, the parameters of such furniture fully comply with applicable standards and GOST requirements. Only the design changes, but not the dimensions or dimensions. At the same time, there are samples that allow for a complete change in characteristics - not only to increase or decrease the area of ​​the countertop, but also to raise or lower it as necessary. As a rule, such designs turn a coffee table into a dining or working one.

For children, the dimensions of the furniture are selected by height and age, the correct height of the table and chair is calculated by a special formula.

Kitchen

The standard height of kitchen tables according to GOST is in the range from 72 to 78 cm (GOST 13025.3-85). At the same time, there are standards for the maximum parameter (from the floor together with the countertop), and the minimum (from the floor to the lower crossbar of the leg binding). The second size is 61 cm. It is necessary to consider it, since the kitchen table is used together with chairs, and the drawers should not interfere with sitting people. Thus, two parameters are taken into account - the height in the kitchen from the floor to the level of the drawer belt and to the upper plane of the countertop.

A separate parameter, regulated by GOST, is the distance between the legs of the table. On the frontal plane it is 91 cm, on the side - at least 45 cm. The size of the furniture is due to the need to place at least 2 people in comfort.

No less important parameter is the depth of the countertop. For a person, at least 40 cm is necessary, plus another 20 cm for tureens, salad bowls or other appliances placed in front of him. If the table is mounted on the wall, 60 cm wide is sufficient, with island placement of furniture, the depth of the countertop should be at least 100 cm. Depending on the number of people, the dimensions change as follows:

• for 6 people - 110 x 90 cm,
• for 8 - 200 x 110 cm,
• for 10 - 260 x 110 cm,
• for 12 - 320 x 110 cm.

The width of the table almost does not change, as etiquette requires it, according to which two at the head of the table should not be placed.

If the countertop has a round shape, its parameters are also determined by the number of people:

• 4 persons - diameter 110 cm,
• 6 - 130 cm
• 8 - 150 cm
• 10 - 170 cm.

Sometimes the height of the table for the kitchen is determined based on working conditions or the parameters of other pieces of furniture. This happens, for example, when the apartment has a separate dining room. Typically, such a product is part of a kitchen set, the standard dimensions of which are determined differently. They work standing behind such furniture, so its height should be in the range of 80-85 cm. In this case, certain adjustments were made in terms of growth, since women usually prepare at the kitchen table.

Many kitchen tables have the ability to change the distance from the floor to the countertops, which allows you to adjust the work plane to individual parameters. The optimal height in such cases is selected depending on the growth of people, most often cooking in the house.

Written

The height of the desk is determined by the characteristics of the physique of a person. According to GOST, the dimensions should ensure normal performance for a long time. Existing standards take into account the constitution of an adult sitting on a chair. The correct height of the table should be such that the working surface is at the level of the diaphragm of a person. At the same time, he should sit upright, his legs bent at 90 degrees, his hands freely lowered to the countertop and bent at the elbows 90 degrees. The forearms are in a horizontal position. By calculations and measurements, the optimal height range was found - within 70-80 cm. When determining the parameters of desks, the width and total area of ​​the countertops are taken into account.

Currently, the desk is noticeably pushed aside by other modifications:

• Desktop,
• office option
• computer table.

These varieties have their own specific usage. The desktop should be spacious, allowing you to arrange a large number of objects or tools. Office models are a slightly simplified version of writing. The standard sample is made according to the same standards and requirements, the difference is only in the external design elements.

A separate group is formed by computer tables, the sizes of which are calculated taking into account the use of a monitor. For normal human performance, his gaze should be directed several degrees below the horizontal. Appropriate should be the height of the countertops. The standard sizes of computer tables for gamers manufactured by the industry are designed for users with a height of 170-175 cm. The tabletop is 75 cm from the floor. This is an average figure suitable for most users. However, the standard height of computer desks does not suit many people, especially when you consider how much time is spent in front of the monitor. Each user should have an accurate idea of ​​what size of the workspace is most preferable for him.

Journal

Coffee tables are available in a wide range and have a variety of options. The functions they perform do not require tight binding to the growth or other parameters of users. Most often they are used as part of soft corners, so their dimensions correspond to the parameters of chairs or sofas. There are many shapes, sizes and designs of coffee tables. Their height starts from 40 cm, but there are no restrictions or standards in this regard.

The minimum height of the tea table is 10 cm, coffee - 30 cm, ombre - 60 cm. The depth of the countertop may vary depending on the design of the furniture.

The specifics of use primarily favor the decorative rather than the applied properties of these pieces of furniture. The focus is on the material, design, shape and design of the table. Often they are able to transform into other types of furniture, which significantly expands their operational capabilities.Such designs are convenient for use in small rooms where there is not enough space to accommodate a large number of items.

Dining

The dining table is an almost complete analogue of the kitchen, intended for eating. Its parameters are clearly defined in accordance with GOST, although such accuracy in this case is not so important. They rarely spend a long time behind him, so there is no danger of excessive fatigue or changes in people's posture. The dining table should have a height in the range from 72 to 78 cm, which allows, within certain limits, to choose the most successful option. The main thing is that the range of furniture departments provides the opportunity to choose.

For people whose height does not allow the use of standard pieces of furniture, custom-made tables can be used. In addition, a comfortable size is obtained with height-adjustable legs. We should not forget about the chairs, which can also change the position of the body and adjust the parameters of the furniture in the desired direction.

The height of the negotiation tables is in the same range, however, it should be borne in mind that an area of ​​at least 70 cm is recommended for each conference participant, while the depth of the tabletop should be at least 65-70 cm.

Dressing

Dressing tables provide convenience for facial skin care, makeup and other important procedures for every woman. The main element is the mirror, so the height of the countertops varies widely. The functional responsibilities of the dressing table are reduced to providing a surface that is convenient for placing perfumes, care items and cosmetics. Some sources argue that the height of the countertop should be strictly 75 cm, which is very controversial, since all women have their own aesthetic preferences, have different height and physique. In addition, the furniture itself can have a different design - from overall sets with massive side tables to the sides to a miniature mounted console. For this reason, only the woman herself can answer the question of what height of the toilet tables will be best.

Children and school

The body of the child is actively formed. At this stage, it is important to ensure the appropriate conditions for it, otherwise a violation of posture, curvature of the spine, vision problems and other undesirable consequences are possible. The children's table must exactly match the growth and other physiological characteristics of the child. There are several varieties of such models:

• desk,
• table for creativity,
• Easel (for drawing).

The difference between these items from each other is the position of the countertop, which can be inclined, horizontal and vertical.

Unlike other types, a table for creativity should be made in accordance with certain requirements. A size of work surface is needed to provide the ability to fold all the necessary accessories. At the same time, there should be enough space for the child's actions. The minimum size of the working field in this case is from 40 to 60 cm, depending on age, and the total depth of the countertop (taking into account the space for pencils, paints, plasticine and other accessories) is from 60 to 80 cm.

When choosing a table for a child, you must be guided by the following principles:

1. The distance from the eyes to the surface of the table should be equal to the distance from the fingertips to the elbow of the child.
2. The height of the countertop above the knees should be 10-15 cm.
3. The legs at the knees should be bent at an angle of 90 degrees, the same applies to the arms bent at the elbows and freely lowered to the surface of the table.

You must also remember that the child is growing rapidly, so you should make small adjustments in determining the size of furniture.

The ratio of the height of the chairs

Proportions for different age groups differ from each other. So, the height of the table and chair for adults should be correlated as 5 and 3. This recommendation is spelled out in GOST. For example, if the height of the working surface above the floor is 75 cm, then the chair should be (75: 5) × 3 = 45 cm. This formula is true in the vast majority of cases, but it can be useless for too tall people. They should order furniture of the optimum size for themselves in a specialized organization. Product parameters vary depending on the age and height of children.
