When purchasing classroom chairs and tables for your daycare, preschool, classroom, church, Montessori, or home-school environment the most important consideration is size.

Size IS everything! Follow our guidelines below to assist you when choosing chairs. But remember, you know your children best, so use the following as a guideline.

CLASSROOM CHAIRS

2-3 year old toddler chairs- 8 or 9in seat height
3-4 year old preschool chairs-9 or 10in seat height
5 year old kindergarten chairs-11 or 12in seat height
6-7 year old first/second grade chairs-12 - 14in seat height
8+ years old 3rd grade and up-14 seat height

CLASSROOM TABLES

When choosing a table, consider the age group. If one and two year olds will be using a table, consider an 11\" adjusting table, and 6 - 8 inch chairs. Also, consider that these children will come in different sizes, so a mixture of chair heights might be your answer. As a rule of thumb, the top of a table should be 6 - 10 inches from the top of a chair seat. This allows the child the ability to use the table top with greater ease.
