Childrens Furniture Benefits of Tiltable Desktop

School desks, as far back as the 1900's, were equipped with tilted desktops. The advantages of the tilted student desk were seen even then but at that time the desk height and tilt adjustment were fixed.

The tilted table top helps improve posture and prevent back pain, neck and shoulder pain.

New findings have led to a preference for flexible tilting positions. The ability to vary the tilt angle make it possible to adjust the table top for the various activities which are now performed at a desk, resulting in a more ergonomic desk for children.

The key advantage of this ergonomic desk is the fact that the desktop angle has an effect on the users sitting position, many experts, orthopaedists and ophthalmologists recommend using a tiltable desktops.

Desktops which are infinitely adjustable to angles of 0°- 30° have proven their effectiveness.

Three adjustment angles help the user to maintain a relaxed sitting posture during various activities.

When reading at the desk, the head and upper body are often bent too far forwards, which often results in the person assuming a "hunchback position" as they lean over the level desktop.

An erect body posture is achieved when the desktop is at an angle of approx. 30°. It is usually possible to avoid headaches and back pain by maintaining this erect position.

Written work should be performed with the desktop at an angle of approx. 15°, as this allows the arms to lie on the desktop in a relaxed position with the upper body straight and fully extended.

A tilt of approx. 0-5° is particularly suited to painting, drawing and other such activities – the active arms are able to lie on the table, and are thus supported.

All our childrens desks are equipped with an infinitely adjustable tilt mechanism. The maximum angle of tilt is 30° – this means that it is simply lowered halfway for written work.

Children can adjust the desktop tilt, raising and lowering it themselves – spiral springs assist them in raising it, while the adjustable brake helps them lower it.

Our student desks have an anti-slip feature to keep things from sliding off when the desktop is tilted.

By providing student desks for our children that have a tiltable top we encourage our child to look after their back, neck and shoulders etc. It is so easy to use, children just instinctively make themselves comfortable
