Ergonomic Furniture

That’s one of the reasons why we din get the table. Its difficult to write with a tilted table. But for reading, I think its good

It is not difficult for ds to write on it, just that books/papers tend to slide but we got use to putting them away once done.

Small bar - I think it is an add-on but we don’t have it.

good posture - he still needs to be reminded to keep 30cm away from the written work/book but he doesn’t complain of neck pain. The height of both chair and table are adjustable so we adjust them as he grows.

reason for buying - ds is easily distracted so I want a dedicated area for him to do his school work. Decided to get so-called ergonomics design that should see him through to Secondary school as he was only in K2 then.

We bought in year 2005, paid S$999 for table+chair. CrossCom was all the rage then (probably still is?) but cost 4 times as much.

These Ergonomics tables & chairs are costly:(


However, I would like to check with you all parents. Does it help for our lovely darling?

we bought the bigger table and chair about 4-5 years ago from the shop at centrepoint (cant remember the shop name offhand) when dd was in lower primary.


length wise it can sit 2 persons (1 child 1 adult) comfortably but depth wise, dd and i find it a bit short and i think this table is suitable for primary school kids only.

now that dd is in secondary, we got her a normal table with lots of space for her to put her books (open for research when studying), files and doing her art work.

ds in primary is using dd’s table and chair now.

after spending $1000++++ for them, well, maybe the slanted table is the only thing everyone says is good for the kids when writing and reading. i dont know i just dont think it is special.

bagwise for dd, we got the spi bag from the same shop. i find it a bit heavy and after 1-2 years of usage, the threads came off (we got the cloth bag) and then we switched to the smooth hard surface bag but switch to a normal bag when the bag got heavier with more books etc.

but for ds who just started primary school, we didnt get him any of these bags.

Out of curiosity, I went o the Kinder Fun shop at United Square. Checked out the tables/chairs. Impressive stuff. Very appealling to daddies, I must say (i think it's the mechanical stuff).


They give only 1 year warranty for the system though. How reliable are those air-pressure systems, that modulates the tilt/height of the table ? :?

Hi


Both my children have been using cross com bags since primary one. On the whole, the bags are sturdy and lasting. Most importantly, it provides good support for their spines considering the weight of the books they have to carry. It is value for money and in my opinion, a worthwhile investment for a good six years or more.

We got a set from Ergoworks when son was in P5. 2 yrs on we find that it's gd as he has grown much taller these 2 yrs, hence the height adjustability feature of the table is useful. Though he could adjust the chair height, the tilted table, I feel, also helps in relieving neck fatigue.

We got the TD1222, Junior Ergo Workstation with a Duorest ergo chair ( the chair is an upgrade fm their promo set) for abt $1500.
