This year we have maintained the wide variety of
educational products, with all the information you require
detailed clearly.
Whether you require a chair, stool or bench the choices
provided in the following pages will allow you to choose
from plastics to fabrics, the correct size and a suitable
colour.
The tables are available in a range of shapes, sizes and
colours with differing heights for differing applications,
such as classrooms or canteens. Choose from
hardwearing tops, foldaway frames or ones that stack for
ease of storage.

Guide to furniture sizing
To assist with purchasing the correct size of table in relation
to the user, and the correct chair in relation to the table, we
have provided the Sizemark guide.
All products sold over the following pages are in
compliance with British and European Standards for
“Chairs and tables for educational institutions” that were
approved in 2007.
The latest additions are:
BSEN 1729 part 1 - Functional dimensions.
BSEN 1729 part 2 - Safety requirements and test methods.
Whilst most existing school furniture will pass BS EN
1729 part 2, the fundamental changes to compliant
furniture design are in BS EN 1729 part 1. This relates
to the appropriate size, shape and ergonomic design
of classroom furniture in maintaining good posture and
reducing RSI and back pain in school children.
To help you select furniture that complies to British and
European standards, the Sizemark table indicates which
fixed seat and table heights are suitable for the child’s age
and size.
To ensure you purchase the most accurate height furniture
for the individual child in compliance with the standards,
we recommend that you measure the Stature and Popliteal
height of the child.
Popliteal Height
Defines the correct
seat height. The
measurement is taken
from the floor to the
back of the knee
when seated, with
thighs horizontal and
lower leg vertical with
feet flat to the floor.
Stature
Is from floor to the top of the head.
Sitting Work Height
Defines the correct table height. The measurement is
determined by sitting elbow height, which is the distance
from the floor to the underside of the elbow whilst sitting
with the upper arm vertical and the lower arm horizontal.
Standing Work Height
Defines the correct standing table height. The
measurement is determined by standing elbow height,
which is the distance from the floor to the underside
of the elbow of a standing person with the upper arm
vertical and lower arm horizontal.
