Although you can use almost any kind
of chair for your child's homework corner, a student secretarial
chair is probably your best choice. It lasts longer because
both the seat height and back support can be adjusted as your
child grows. Prices range from under $20 to $50 or more. As
a rule, the better the upholstery and the more adjustable
the chair, the higher the price. Look for ready-to-assemble
student desk chairs at the same local stores that sell desks.
Since kids can be rough on furniture, look for solid construction
on any kind of desk chair you buy.
When shopping for a desk chair, look for one with fire-retardant
foam, an adjustable seat height, a 360-degree swivel base,
smooth-gliding casters and durable upholstery. Be sure to
bring your child along to try out the chair in the store.
It should be easily adjustable and allow the student to move
freely while maintaining support for back, legs and arms.
When seated, your child's feet should rest flat on the floor,
allowing several inches of knee space under the desk.
