Classroom Chairs

Classroom Chairs

Whether these chairs are intended for preschoolers or premed students, the following details and features are of the utmost importance:

 

Height:

Let’s start with the obvious: college/university students shouldn’t be squeezed into something designed for someone less than half their age, and kindergartners shouldn’t be overwhelmed by extremely large seats. The range of sizes in our collection can accommodate the young and old alike, and some of our seats are adjustable and thus capable of suiting all ages and sizes.

Though every classroom should anticipate students of all heights, we have provided the following graph to aid you in determining the sizes, to which certain age groups correspond.

Style:

Next to comfort, it is important to consider what you want your classroom to look like. We carry a variety of different styles of chairs including:

Standard: These chairs will be basic chairs that are seen most often in classrooms. If you are searching for a classic chair that will withstand the rigorous use from students, then a standard chair will work great for you.
Stacking: If your classroom is going to continually be rearranged then you will need a chair that is easily moved. Stacking chairs can be neatly stacked and stored away or moved.
Shell: Students will be sitting in classroom chairs all day, so their comfort should be a great concern. Shell chairs are generally constructed of a softer plastic and are designed to fit the student’s body for more comfort then standard chairs.
Swivel: Sometimes you need students to be able to look in all different areas of the classroom. Great for computer rooms or art labs, swivel chairs will allow students to turn their chair in which ever direction is needed.
Teacher: We carry many teachers’ chairs that will complement your students’ chairs. Our variety of teacher chairs has features such as casters, swivel, and padding.

Base:

The base of your chair will greatly depend on what type of classroom it is for, and also what type of floors your classrooms have. We offer 3 different types of bases:

Four Legs: If your classroom has wood or tile floors then a standard four legged chair will work for you. Most four-legged chairs will come with swivel feet that allow the chairs to slide easily on your floors.

Sled Base: For classrooms with carpet, sled base chairs are the best. The design of the base allows the chairs to slide easily on carpet.

Casters: Chairs with casters are mostly used in computer and art labs. These chairs are better for older students that won’t be tempted to create an annoyance by rolling around.

Construction & Durability:

We understand the heavy toll students (especially children) take on furniture. To counter this, we sell products of only the highest quality materials. Most of our chairs are made of either heavy gauge tubular steel or sturdy hardwood with hard or soft plastic seats.
