Evolution over time
Unlike home office designs for adults, a desk for toddlers needs to be more flexible. As they grow, the workplace must grow with their different needs.
That is why, when planning, take this point into account. Use neutral tones, but with additional elements for decoration. When your child is already a teenager, simply erase, change or remove the colorful motifs.

How to decorate a children's buffet table with your own hands: ideas, table setting, photos
Often, a variety of snacks, sandwiches, canapés and cold cuts are placed on the buffet table. The decoration option depends on the theme of the chosen party.
Examples:
- Fishing or pirate party. In this case, it is better to cover the table with a net, and place plates decorated with napkins on the table. They can be folded into the shape of a fish or a boat. The sandwiches themselves can be decorated like pirates or fish. All this can be done with mayonnaise or ketchup. The birthday cake is also served like a ship.
- Kingdom. This theme is more suitable for girls, so the entire table setting is decorated in pink. This is a pink tablecloth, pink napkins and cups decorated with pink ribbons. Dolls in fluffy dresses can stand on the table. The dishes themselves should also be tender. Usually these are airy cupcakes with pink cream and lemonade in bright jugs.
- Detective agency. There are also several options here. If all the guests are in tails, then the buffet table can be decorated in red and white or black and white. A red tablecloth and black napkins folded in the shape of hats or tails will do. Near the plates there may be cards with a task for a quest or regular holiday programs. It is necessary to make the buffet interesting, so you can give cards with tasks.

How to choose a desk for a schoolchild
We talked about the best desks for schoolchildren available for sale in 2022. Candidate of Medical Sciences, orthopedist-traumatologist of the European Medical Center Irina But-Gusaim spoke about how to choose furniture for a child .
Dimensions
The table should be at the level of the child's stomach. Sitting on a chair at a table, the student should rest his forearms freely on the table so that they lie relaxed. The distance between the eyes and the tabletop is approximately the length of the child’s forearm: from the elbow to the fingertips.
The table should not be too low, otherwise the child will slouch. But it shouldn’t be high either: chest level is too much. In this case, the student will reach up and overstrain the shoulder girdle and cervical region.
Tabletop
To work at a table like a desk, in my opinion, the surface must tilt, like a desk. It can also adjust the eye distance. When the tabletop is tilted, it is more convenient to write.

The tabletop itself must be at least 60 centimeters deep.

Functional
Drawers, shelves and bedside tables play an important role in the functionality of the table. The student's luggage is quite large. These are books, additional materials, notebooks, notepads and school accessories and supplies. All this should have its place so that the child can quickly find the thing he needs at any time.
Many tables are initially equipped with cabinets, drawers and racks. When choosing a table, pay attention to the functionality of the table. A child’s workplace should accommodate everything he needs for study and play.

DEMI SUT-14. Photo: yandex.market.ru
A simple version of a domestically assembled table for schoolchildren. For those who find it too modest, you can, for an additional fee, buy a model with a pattern, add back and side attachments and change the color of the metal. There is a set with a chair - three thousand rubles more expensive. For other elements you will also have to pay from 1000 to 4000 rubles. Manufacturers have focused on fairly wide tabletop adjustment. A total of nine positions are available. However, the maximum tilt angle is 30 degrees, instead of the usual 45. The manufacturer states that a child can spend this amount of time from three to four years old. But the maximum stated height of a seated person, 198 centimeters, seems slightly exaggerated. The height can also be changed in the range from 53 to 81.5 centimeters. However, only three levels of fixation are available for this. The desk has plastic pads and a polyurethane bumper to smooth out sharp corners.

The manufacturer of expensive children's furniture has in its arsenal a table model for schoolchildren that is current for 2022. The height is adjusted with a rotating handle - an interesting solution. The desk rises high enough so that it can be used up to an older age. Another thing is that its design is clearly for children of primary school, maximum high school. The internal pencil case is not particularly large, but pens, a set of pencils and markers will fit. There are a lot of shelves, although they are shallow. Therefore, there is a question about their functionality. The working surface tilts up to 25 degrees - even less than the previous model in our rating of the best tables for schoolchildren. The tabletop is coated with anti-reflective varnish to protect your eyes. The back legs of the table are on wheels, so it can be easily moved.

However, there is no protection on the back of the tabletop. It is assumed that the table will stand close to the wall. The manufacturer did not spare any varnish on the wood coating. It removes paints and glue very well without harming the material. The drawer is very spacious. You can even stack several textbooks. Withstands loads up to 10 kilos. At the bottom of the tabletop, an important accessory that is often forgotten by other manufacturers of the best desks for schoolchildren is a supporting bar-ruler.

An excellent choice of table for primary and secondary schoolchildren. The color is unlikely to be suitable for older children - the height adjustment knob is made in the shape of a bear cub. It can be pulled out and moved to the other side. You can also bend it so it doesn’t take up space. Or vice versa, use it as a hook. The manufacturer sells many different organizers that fit the desk. There is a pull-out tray for stationery. A gas lift is used to lower the tabletop. There is a ruler on the desk: you won’t be able to draw on it, since it is fixed at the bottom and serves as a support for books and notebooks. But for fans, making something with their own hands is a good help. The tabletop tilts to an angle of 55 degrees. The table supports are adjustable and resemble suction cups. Thanks to them, you can neutralize uneven floors.

Desks for schoolchildren of this brand are made in Taiwan. This is not the only model in our ranking of the best from this Asian country. The working areas are divided: one tilts, the other is statically fixed. The “gas lift” here is German; it is used to adjust the height. The maximum limit is 76 centimeters. There is a lock that locks the position. For the tabletop material, they did not skimp on MDF. Such furniture is considered to be of higher quality compared to samples made from chipboard. The coating is water-repellent. Therefore, various kinds of artistic experiments should take place without harm to appearance. There is a retractable book support. A nice bonus is a retractable pencil case organizer.

In another way, the model of this table for schoolchildren is also called “Scholy” - this is what the manufacturer came up with. Please note that there are two model options available in stores. One has a drawer under the countertop, and the second has it hidden under the surface. It folds back to reveal a storage compartment. Both options are roomy, but the manufacturer, unfortunately, did not make delimiters. Therefore, everything will either be lying around, or only books will be stacked. The table is made from 100% solid beech. It comes with linseed oil, which the manufacturer recommends to coat the wood with. The tilt is quite adjustable right up to the position of the easel. A good option to combine work and creative space. In its lowest position, the table lowers to 46 cm, so even kindergarteners can use it comfortably. It does not rise too high - up to 64 cm. This should be enough for a height of 1.6 meters. On the back there are cup holders for office supplies.

A good table option for older students. Just be careful: the same model is sold with different combinations of shelves. Therefore the price may vary. Pleasant color and laconic shapes. Lots of shelves and drawers for textbooks and personal items. The handles were made from ABS - cheap and practical. Buyers note the ease of assembly. On the bottom shelf there is space for the system unit. True, if you assume that the child will use the space for studying, then it is better to buy a thinner monitor in order to move it to the wall and a keyboard without wires, so that it can always be put aside. There are complaints about door closers: some of them are faulty, which is why the doors cannot be thrown.

Cabinet height | 180 cm |
Storage boxes and superstructure | There is |

It’s easy to make a holiday unforgettable, the main thing is a little time, patience and money.
Form
Straight (square, rectangular). The usual version of the table. Usually the table is placed by the window in the children's room. At the same time, there should be thick curtains on the window that would protect the monitor from sunlight if the child is doing homework at the computer.
If the room is small, a great option for parents and children is a window-sill table in the children's room. This way, daylight will fall on the student’s workplace and the room will visually become larger. If you need a table for a children’s room for two children, a window-sill table will be an excellent option.
Angular. This table arrangement is very convenient for small spaces. The table can be considered both a desk and a computer one, since most models of corner tables for children's rooms are designed to work with a computer.
Numerous drawers and shelves make the table practical and spacious. Corner tables in children's rooms are also suitable for two children.
Round. A safe option for families with small children. The absence of sharp corners reduces the risk of injury during games.
Figured. Serves as a decoration for a children's room. Used for games and drawing.
