Like German cars, German desks have a certain reputation in the market. I must say, it is well deserved - let's start with the fact that it was the moll company that began producing height-adjustable children's desks back in 1974. Since then, it is precisely this criterion - height adjustment - that has become one of the decisive ones when choosing furniture for schoolchildren. Moll was followed by other manufacturers, and today furniture from Paidi and Kettler is also quite popular in this niche.
Convenience, ergonomics, and the design of “growing” desks are taken into account by parents who want to provide their child with optimal conditions for studying at home. But at the same time big choice commercially available models can confuse many mothers and fathers who simply do not have the time to understand all the intricacies of “Partology”.
For clarity, we suggest highlighting the main parameters that will help you quickly decide whether a given desk is suitable for a particular family. This: age category target audience(depending on the height of the tabletop), size and possibility of tilting the tabletop, table top type(whole, separate), materials, appearance desks, and, of course, price category . The presence of accessories is also important, as are awards and medals from independent experts, so we will also try to take these points into account.
For now the lineup school desks from German manufacturers discussed in this review look like this:
(Kettler): Cool Top, School, Little, Comfort, College Box, Logo Max, Logo Plus, Logo Duo
(Mall): moll Champion, moll Champion Compact, moll Winner, moll Winner Compact, moll Joker
(Paidi): FALKO, JARO, MARCO 2, TABLO
All of the above models are height adjustable: Kettler 51-78 cm (except Logo Duo and Comfort - their height varies from 54 to 78 cm), all moll models have a standard range of 53-82 cm, Paidi MARCO 2 and TABLO are height adjustable 53-79 cm, while Paidi FALKO and JARO are 54-76 cm. Thus, for a child of average height and any school age Any of the above-mentioned models will do, and the desk will serve him from first to last grade. According to reviews from German parents, all these desks are very solid, stable and reliable, proven over years of almost daily use.
All models have an inclined tabletop with an inclination angle from 0 to 18-22 degrees; moll Champion, moll Champion Compact, Kettler Comfort, Kettler Logo Duo, Paidi MARCO 2 (130 cm) and Paidi JARO models have separate tabletops, that is, one part rises , and the other remains motionless.
Not all schoolchildren have their own study room - very often free place in the apartment is limited, or, conversely, one long desk is purchased for two schoolchildren. Advice - decide on the length of the tabletop, based on your needs and available space, this will narrow down your search.
As for design, manufacturers try not to distract attention from functionality. The desks are made either in natural colors that are pleasant to the eye (oak, maple, beech, spruce, birch), or in white with unobtrusive color accents. This makes it easy to combine the newly purchased desk with existing furniture in the children's room.
The tabletop material is high-quality laminated chipboard, approved for use in the production of children's furniture (and in Germany everything is strict about this!), and the frames, guides and table legs are made of durable steel. Smooth lines, lack sharp corners and clearances between moving parts increases operational safety.
Accessories vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. For example, for the moll Champion model, a drawer under the tabletop needs to be purchased separately, but a folding book stand, a cable channel, a magnetic ruler-limiter, a side hook for a school backpack and replaceable decorative elements 8 colors are included. Manufacturers offer a line of related products, coordinated in style and color scheme- shelves, bedside tables, tabletop extenders and so on, so that it will be possible to develop individual project workplace. And if you invite the future owner or owner of the desk to participate in the selection...
Awards and achievements? For example, the moll Champion desk received the super prestigious Red Dot Design Awards in 2012, the Kettler company has a large number of patents and developments in the production of orthopedic furniture, and the Paidi brand has been synonymous with children's furniture of the highest quality for more than 80 years.
Time to ask about the price of the issue. Let’s face it, it’s more expensive than domestic or Chinese analogues, but... Drawing an analogy with the auto industry again - if you value a long uninterrupted operation, lack of need for frequent maintenance and stylish appearance, then a desk from one of the German manufacturers is your choice!
Children's growing desks are the result of technological progress that has been observed in the furniture industry for many years. Previously, users were forced to buy models developed, relatively speaking, decades ago. These are the most primitive tables with a slight slope of the table top and, at most, stands for textbooks.
However, today the situation has changed radically. Desks have become multifunctional, variable, offering wide range opportunities for its owner, and with them, efficiency. After all, with the parallel “growth” of the table along with its owner, parents no longer have to regularly update the furniture, taking into account the gradual maturation of the child, and once purchased, the model is able to pass all the tests with him from the first to the last grade.
