Guide to furniture sizing
To assist with purchasing the correct size of table in relation to
the user, and the correct chair in relation to the table, we have
provided the Sizemark guide.
All products sold over the following pages are in compliance
with British and European Standards for “Chairs and tables for
educational institutions” that were approved in 2007.
The latest additions are:
BSEN 1729 part 1 - Functional dimensions.
BSEN 1729 part 2 - Safety requirements and test methods.
Whilst most existing school furniture will pass BS EN 1729 part
2, the fundamental changes to compliant furniture design are in
BS EN 1729 part 1. This relates to the appropriate size, shape and
ergonomic design of classroom furniture in maintaining good
posture and reducing RSI and back pain in school children.
To help you select furniture that complies to British and European
standards, the Sizemark table indicates which fixed seat and table
heights are suitable for the child’s age and size.
To ensure you purchase the most accurate height furniture for the
individual child in compliance with the standards, we recommend
that you measure the Stature and Popliteal height of the child.
