Ergonomic Furniture

[wanton]

I just can’t help feeling like those of us who bought these ergonomic tables and chairs for our kids were completely ripped off!!


We bought a set from Jarrons because they claim theirs are from Germany.
I have to say there is little difference where the product comes from cos there isn’t much technology to speak about.

Anyway, their chair is so crap as one keeps falling off the chair due to the forward slant Besides the knob below the chair just fell off one day on its own!!

Now some 7 months after their delivery, they still have not delivered to me my extra set of cushion cover and they refuse to come and check on the chair. Their tactic is always to pacify and say they will arrange and call me back but after more than 10 calls to them, they have yet to come!!!

Theirs is the worst customer service I have ever encountered!!!

I am still looking for a desk for my son. I have been to ergoworks, kinderfun and kid2youth. Their prices more or less similiar but I wonder how can kinderfun stands out as they are the only one offering only 1yr warranty.


I have yet to visit Atwood and probably will do so this weekend.

Anyone got lobang to get better discounts from ergoworks or kid2youth? Still very ex to me even with their current promotion :oops:

the table and chair have been with us for more than 5 years (both went to foreign land with us and back) ...both are still in good condition (no peeling etc). haha..some pen marks on table which is inevitable


got them from the store next to the teochew restuarant at centrepoint.

I believe is Kinderfun cos I just went last night at Centrepoint. But it just got me worry when they only offer 1 yr warranty whereas the rest 3 or 5 yrs though the saleslady kept emphasizing that their quality is superb and hardly any problem.

i cant remember the length of warranty for mine but i dont think we have any problem with the set.

in fact one or two of the brands mentioned in this thread are foreign to me :oops: . thus no comments on any brand from me...

oops, the chair is actually a cushioned one (so doesnt peel .....haha).

is there a possibility the materials used now are a bit more inferior than before? could still be the same material but mine is a good solid table.

imo, a normal desk is good enough for the kids to do their work. but dh likes the set (and boy it wasnt cheap at the time of purchase definitely over $1k :faint: ).

you might want to consider getting a 2nd hand set (i am not selling mine though).

earlier this week i went for lunch and i saw a new shop in wheelock place 3rd floor. it's called ergokid and they carry the Moll desks, the same german brand as crosscom. the quoted prices are lower and I was told it's the new official prices from the manufacturer. the prices are still high but the products are a class above any of the brands mentioned in this thread.

their website is http://www.ergokid.com and you can also check their facebook as well http://www.facebook.com/ergokid and apparently they have a wide range of ergonomic school bags too.

Hi! Junemum72,


How was your trip to Atwood? Have you decided on the brand you are getting? I’m looking around too and still can’t decide yet.

Hi

I have similar set as what lolmum have. I think I got it during promotion at $1000. At that time, only crosscom and kinderfun in the market. Crosscom is from Germany - very ex- $2k plus to 3k plus.
My set last me more than 8 years. My boy is still using it . So it is definitely worth the $$.

Haha I didnt go in the end. My friends and colleagues asked me why i have to spend so much on a table. We grew up without them and we are ok now..haha

So i still have not got a table for him..lol

We do have a computer table and he is currently using it now...at least for the time being till the time when we are ready to willingly spend on such table..

hi, ergokid is having their grand opening this saturday at wheelock place on orchard road, so you may want to visit them as they're having a children's day/official opening promotion. they sell moll desks, the same one as crosscom. apparently, they're the new official retailer of moll in singapore and now with two moll retailers, prices quoted are much lower than before when crosscom had monopoly. :congrats:
