Making a children's table and high chair with your own hands

A children's wooden highchair can be bought complete with a table, or you can make these products with your own hands, for which you need drawings, dimensions and detailed assembly diagrams.

What materials can be made

Depending on what goals the children's product pursues, it can be made from:

• Natural solid wood.
• Plywood.
• Chipboard or MDF boards.

Also, foam rubber sheets, dermantin, oilcloth or dense fabric can be used as additional materials. Especially often highchairs for feeding a baby are sheathed with such cloth or oilcloths.

Naturally, it is better to create children's furniture from more expensive materials, the quality of which is higher. This is definitely a tree, and a hard one. But softer types of wood, for example, such as pine, are also suitable for a highchair and a table for a child.

But along with them, various other types of materials can be used. Although, in this regard, there is an important recommendation - to take only those that can be checked for quality from the manufacturer itself. Only these have a standard certificate that the materials do not emit toxic substances. Otherwise, constantly during operation, toxic elements will be released into the room, which will negatively affect the health of the baby.

Always remember that the cheaper the material, the higher the chances that it is of inferior quality.

Drawings and diagrams of a highchair with a table

Before you start making furniture on your own, you need to prepare a detailed drawing, which should include all sizes. In this case, a short diagram will not work - only experienced carpenters can make a wooden chair and table using it.

For everyone else, before making a children's table and table with your own hands, you must either choose detailed drawings, or execute them yourself, taking into account the anthropometric data of the dimensions of the child's body, taking into account age.

What size should it be

It is important to remember that a children's furniture set must meet the following conditions:

1. Be completely safe - therefore, you need to attach the elements securely, avoid sharp corners and rough surfaces.
2. The child should be seated comfortably at the table and table. It is important to consider that changing the size of the body will require changing the design after a certain period of time.

In this connection, an essential subtlety in the manufacture of the correct home-made furniture is maintaining certain sizes corresponding to the dimensions of the child's body at a certain age.

So, it is worth listening to the following instruction:

• For a child whose height has reached 1 m, the height of the chair should be 26 cm, and the height of the table top should be 46 cm. As a rule, these parameters are suitable for a child aged 3 to 5 years.
• The second growth group, when the height ranges from 115 to 130 cm, the height of the seat of a chair or stool should be 40 cm, and the height of the table should be 52 cm.
• If we talk about a highchair, then in this case, the height will depend on which surface it will be installed on. Most often, this parameter has a value in the range from 350 mm to 527 mm. Everything will depend on the design option.

  At the same time, a perfect modern highchair should not only have the correct dimensions, but also be completely safe. Among its elements there should be a folding small table; it is quite problematic to do without it when feeding. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think it over right away.

It is important to understand from the presented sizes that you will have to redo the children's furniture every 2 years. This is due to the rapid growth of the child.

The only way to avoid this is to make the furniture transformer, which over a longer period of time will adjust to the growing size of the child.

Choice of color and decor

An important factor is the selection of the correct design and color scheme. Here, first of all, they pay attention to:

1. Gender of the child - light shades of a warm range are suitable for a girl. A selection of pastel colors will help you determine the final result.
2. For boys, cool shades or warm greens should be preferred.

As for the design itself, the choice of ideas is small here. Most often they choose from two types:

• Classic design - it is often a wooden product constructed from individual beams and slats that have linear shapes or carved elements.
• Modern types of products - in this case, a stool, table or chair should have a unique appearance that will be more unusual. True, to make it, you will most likely have to resort to more complex templates.

To find the right model, you should consider a selection of children's products.

Table making process

In order not to be mistaken during the manufacture of the table, you should act according to a certain plan:

1. First, an overview of existing designs is carried out. This is done with one main goal - to choose the most suitable product in terms of form and functionality.
2. Then, in accordance with the available dimensions and drawings, purchase the necessary materials.
3. Prepare the necessary tools - a saw, a hammer, a plane, self-tapping screws, screws, corners for fastening perpendicular elements, as well as a number of measuring tools.
4. Then make blanks in accordance with the available dimensions of the drawing.
5. Process them, first with a planer, then sand them so that they become as smooth as possible if the structure is made of a solid wooden bar.
6. Then fasten the elements to each other, in accordance with the selected scheme. It should be remembered that fixation must be carried out simultaneously with glue and self-tapping screws or screws to ensure reliable fixation.

Thus, in order to make a table and a highchair with your own hands - drawings, dimensions, diagrams - are indispensable when working. Further, the matter will become only for the quality and thoroughness of the study.
