Hi there I went jarrons last week too. The boss spent a long time explaining the chairs n tables to me. It seems fairly easy to adjust thou I have not tried it myself. Me haven check out kinderfun n crosscom. Will chk it out this weekend. Hopefully I can cm to a decision real soon. Hv to say that jarrons pricing is quite attractive.

For everything we want to buy, my hubby always say we must try out the mechanism ourselves to gauge the ease of use and functionality. So we went to all 3 shops and he tried to adjust all the tables and chairs. His favourite table is kinder which uses air pressure, and he likes the crosscom chair. But between the 2 I prefer the look of the latter so I decided to go for that. Jarrons was selling kettler, hubby says it's the least user friendly of all, but of cos it's all about the affordability if u choose this. And I reckon you won't need to adjust the table and chair very often.

Goodluck in your hunt!

To me we dun need to adjust the height of the table all the time, it is not as if our children will grow 5 cm every month that we need to adjust the tabl every month. the most we adjust the height of the tabel every 1 to 2years or according to our children height.If we buy ergonomic table, we will of course tilt the or adjust the table , if not might as well go to ikea to get a $99 table which will just do. I have personally gone down the shop and look and have a feel on adjust the table. Of course it not like kinderfun or crosscom which the movable part is like sliding up and down easily. The one at jarrons we as a parent have to shift the groove ourselves and adjust according. Different parents have different expectation that is all i can say. Some people would not mind buying a table and chair for a few thousands dollars, but to me as long as it serve its functionality and easily to use, i dun mind. Sometimes the more ex does not meant it is necessary good, a lot still has to do with good posture. My office have ergonomic tables and chairs for every staff and the chair itself cost nearly to $2k per chair but becos most of us dun really lean against the chair, we still have back problem at times.

I had been looking for a set of table and chairs for my daughter but find all too expensive. Till I saw an advertisement on Straits Time KIDZ ‘N’ TEENZ selling by Atwood Pte Ltd at Ang Mo Kio industrial park 2A. a set of table and chair from $500 to $880 ONLY and GST included.


call them and was told that they had extend their promotion till School reopen. bring my kids there.

Their table with gas lift so easy to adjust same as kinderfun and ergowork. I bought 2 sets and upgrade a chair to Kaiser chair. i think i have made the right choice not buying at kinderfun and ergowork. it is certainly lots cheaper and with the same feature.

interested can call them @ 64844588

Thanks!! Hubby likes ergoworks but tempted to buy jarrons cos of the price.

if your hubby like ergoworks and tempted to buy jrrons cos of the price then you can try Atwood @ Ang Mo Kio. They have the similar table and chair as Ergowork and Kinderfun but their price is cheaper then all including Jarrons. I had been to Ergoworks, Kinderfun, Jarrons & Crosscom and end up buying at Atwood Pte Ltd. You can call them at 64844588. 20 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2a #01-02.

They are cheaper because they are at indutrial area. You can save up to $600.

I also went to see; they had 2 brands... Singbee and Kuangshin. Both looked quite plastic and not very aesthetic. Kuangshin looked bulky and Singbee flimsy and can only tilt to 14 degrees. Some of thr plastic coverings even came off when my DD was trying the desk. Singbee use lots of Chinese components. Their chairs were of poor quality, worst than vhive. So I'm not surprised you had to upgrade the chair.

I heard the price is low because they import old reject models of last previous years from Taiwan because as far as I know Ergoworks is the exclusive distributor of Kuangshin desks.

[quote=\"larkspur\"]actually i realise there are a lot of different kind of ergonomic tables and chairs around other then from kinder fun and ergo works. Recently i come across one shop call Jarrons & co and i bought one erognomic table from them at less than $550, design vary slightly from kinderfun but material wise pine wood and can slanted the table. One fren mummy even bought one ergonomic table for less than $500

Hi

any feedback about the tables? Am keen to get it too. How's the mechanism? Is it as smooth and easy to adjust as kinderfun and crosscom?

i have placed an order and it is still on the sea. the shop told me the table will reach singapore in another 1 week plus and i should be able to get the table earliest first week of Nov. It takes about 1 to 2 months after i placed an order. but previously i went to the shop to look at the sample table and the mechnism is more like you adjust your own height with the latch. not like the kind u see in kinderfun where you can slide or tilt up and down due to gas pump.the one from jarron more manual which i prefer cos manual one will last longer[/quote]I had been to Jarrons but their table diffcult to adjust. The store girl also had problem adjust. end up did not get from them. Till I saw advertisement on Straits Time by Atwood they selling Kidz and Teenz. Table similar as ergowork and kinderfun but price same as Jarrons. you should go and have a look. Most important they have 5 years warranty.

The table at atwood are similar to ergoworks and Kinderfun but the Singbee desks can only tilt up to 14 degrees… in which case u might as well buy IKEA desks.


There is a new shop KID2YOUTH in Suntec City Happy Zone, #03-021A
They have a wide range of ergonomic desk with gas lift, starting as low as $850 and comes with chair and they have an interesting 10+5 year manufacturer’s warranty. They’re also offering 3M polarizing desk lights and lots of freebies for their opening. They have ready stocks and can deliver in 2-5 days. Jarrons I think u need to wait 8 weeks liao.
