The width of the working surface should be such that there is a free space of at least 10 cm for the hands, excluding other objects located on the working surface. This place is necessary so that the student can safely put his hands up and lean.

The optimal model will be a model with an adjustable height. In this case, the work surface can be moved as the student grows. Such options are a little more expensive, but in the long term you will save more money due to the fact that you do not need to change it often.

The option with adjustment is enough for 5-7 years of study, until the student grows out of him morally. At the same time, it is important to select an adjustable chair as well, as it will also have to be changed over time.
