DIY

With the advent of a small student, one of the first necessities becomes a children's desk. This interior item is necessary for homework and other work by first -graders and older children.

In the presence of his own workplace, the child will be more responsible to the study process. Written tables for children in a wide range offer various furniture stores, but there are several arguments in favor of making it with your own hands. Firstly, with the own carrying out all the work, the materials used are controlled, their safety for the child. Secondly, such work will save significant funds, since you will have to spend only on the material itself. Thirdly, the furniture of any unique and original designs is created.

A variety of written tables for children

Children's written tables for the home are represented not by one model, but by many constructive solutions with their own features. Ordinary classic tables with boxes and countertops, or furniture in the form of toys and fairy -tale characters that kids love very much. There are several basic criteria for the differences in children's tables:

• On the color. The modern market for the manufacture of furniture offers a wide color scheme, which includes standard colors and exquisite colors. When choosing the basis for manufacturing the table, not only the type of material, but also its color should be considered. For the younger children, bright and interesting shades are optimally suitable, which will attract their attention to the workplace. For older children, it is better to choose plain and calm shades that will not be distracted from the work.

• Tables differ in shape. Standard rectangular countertops, round tables, corner tables, tables of original shapes.
• The presence of drawers and bedside tables. For the student, such modifications are simply necessary, as they allow you to classify and lay out the entire arsenal of educational supplies. Various departments intended for specific things help to teach the child to order and accuracy since childhood.
• Working corner. Such furniture provides not only the table, but also the system of hinged boxes, bedside tables, drawers, etc. Such furniture as a single composition is designed and helps to fill the room not only with the desktop, but also with cabinets for other things necessary in the everyday life.

• Folding tables. Very convenient for small rooms. In his free time, the child folds the table and gets a large scope for games. Modifications of folding tables are also very different, the simplest for children is a table with a retractable countertop, which opens and closes according to the principle of the box. But if the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment allows, then it is best to opt for a stationary table model with various boxes and departments.

We make a children's table with a curly countertop

One of the very ergonomic models of stationary children's written tables is a table with a curly countertop. Such furniture has a seizure exactly in the middle or a little shifted to the side, it creates a real study for the child. The creation of such a table begins with a sketch and project. If you plan to place an additional shelf under the countertop, then they should be the same shape. To save expenses, the lower shelf is made of cheaper materials, since it does not carry loads and its fortress is not so important.  If the child is left -handed, then the wave of the countertop is located on the right. At this stage, a detailed drawing with the size of each element is created. Next are the following stages of work:

• After creating the drawing, the material is cut. This work is performed independently or ordered in special workshops of the cut on the declared sizes. For independent cutting, use an electrician, the countertop is cut with a thin saw or jigsaw to avoid chips on the edges.

• On the sawn material, the edges are processed and decorated. To begin with, the edges are thoroughly thoroughly polished, this stage of work is not required if the sheets have been cut out by a format-exhaust machine. If a children's desk is made with your own hands, then the edges will not be even and require additional processing.
• After grinding the edge, it is necessary to seal the edge. At home, paper products are most often used, since it is the most inexpensive material, moreover, it is quite easy to mount it. The disadvantage of this type of processing in its short -lived. The paper edge or melamine tape is glued to the products with the help of an old iron and a cut of dense fabric. There are often traces of the tape on the iron, therefore it is recommended to use such an apparatus that is not supposed to iron clothes anymore. The fabric is used to fix the edge on the sheet, the tape is pressed to the edges of the product during operation. A wide tape is carefully cut and adjusted to size.
• For more reliable processing, the PVC edge is used, however, an industrial hairdryer and respiratory protection products will be needed for the installation of the tape. In the process of heat treatment of PVC, toxic substances are released, therefore it is necessary to use the respirator and carefully ventilate the room. The temperature of the hairdryer is set at least 500 ° C.
• After processing all the edges, the assembly begins. To begin with, the frame is assembled, the legs and the lower shelf are fastened together. In each part, a hole of the desired depth is made, then confirmans are screwed into these holes and the boards are attached to each other. A countertop is installed on the frame, to strengthen the structure it is supplemented with plastic corners.
• When the base of the table is completely ready, the boxes are collected. The bottom is made of fiberboard, it will facilitate and reduce the whole structure. All other parts are made from chipboard. The guides are installed on the boxes, one of which is attached into a niche, and the other is screwed to the side of the box. When choosing guides, the future load on the box should be taken into account. All mounts are decorated with stickers in the tone of chipboard.

This design is easily modernized as a children's desk for two. To do this, the countertop is lengthened and two wave -shaped cuts are made in it. They also share the table with a partition from below and, if desired, from above to zone the space. The supports for the table are modernized in the niches, so the pile of boxes is excluded. Additional superstructures with niches and drawers are installed on the table, if they need.

We make a corner table

Corner desk children's desk is another excellent solution for a small area. In the room, the corners most often remain in the premises, the table placed at the junction of the walls will not take up much space, but at the same time, the countertop is equipped quite simple and convenient for the child. The table is easily modernized under the computer; for this, it is enough to mount a retractable shelf for the keyboard.

It is quite difficult to make a corner table, as it requires cutting the details of the irregular shape. In the absence of skills and tools, it is recommended to order cutting in specialized stores. Below the algorithm is described how corner children's written tables are made, the photo demonstrates a detailed scheme with dimensions:

1. Fasten guides for drawn elements on the side racks. All lateral parts are attached with dowels, the nests are coated with carpentry glue, fastened with clabels. The back surface is fixed with self -tapping screws.
2. The drawer is assembled. It is attached with dowels, processing the nests with glue. Before the connection of all parts, they are processed with an edge.
3. Fasten guides to the boxes. On the front side, a guide is fixed with a length of 40 mm, on the back - 16 mm.
4. On the reverse side of the countertop, place places for fasteners, drill on the labels of the nest. The holes are made deep, but not to pass through.
5. The countertop is turned over and the cabinets and the back wall are attached to it with screws. If you plan to make a computer table, then at this stage you should provide a hole for the cable. In the lower part of the cabinet, decorative basements are fixed.
6. At the end of all the work, boxes and doors are mounted. The shelves are fixed with self -tapping screws, the angular superstructure is fixed with round cubes or chrome strokes. After that, the superstructure shelves are installed, which will serve as a stand for the monitor.
7. If the table was made of MDF, then the last step is the primer and the color of surfaces in any selected color. DSP does not require coloring, a table of such material after assembly is ready for use.

How to place a children's desk in the room correctly

The algorithm for making furniture of any type looks generally the same:

1. Creating a drawing.
2. Preparation of material in size.
3. Material processing.
4. Assembly.
5. Decoration.

Having detailed drawings in their hands, tables of even the most intricate design are easily gathering, for example, a table in the form of a small house, car or even ship. Combined structures are quite common in small apartments, in which a desktop is located on the ground floor, and on the second bed for sleep. But it is important to know not only the rules for the manufacture of furniture, but also the rules for installing the children's table and the organization of the student’s workplace as a whole.

• The table and stool must be approached under the height of the child. To save money and not chase the growing organism, they acquire models of chairs with a regulating leg.
• It is important to illuminate the workplace well. The light should fall on the left, for left -handed people on the right. Do not put the table directly relative to the window, since the light falling from the window will blind the child.
• A table lamp for a table is selected with a power of at least 75 watts. Do not use lamps with an open lamp and without a lampshade.
• The entire working surface is made solid and smooth, it should not contain sharp corners.
• It is necessary to have a large number of boxes and shelves, which will contain not only all school supplies, but also objects for games and entertainment.
• The table for the table should be well ventilated, but at the same time not to have direct drafts.
• It is best to set the table in a secluded place. If there is no separate room for the child, then it is enough to fence off one corner for his workplace. So that during the performance of the work it does not distract him.

• In the first place when equipping the children's office is comfort, the lack of noise and stuffiness, since children do not know how to abstract from external stimuli and tend to be distracted.
• The surface of the table should rest against the child’s stomach. In order to sit at the table, he could put his elbows on him and put his feet on the floor.
• To improve the mood and create positive associations, the children's workplace is decorated with various elements. They are not installed too much so that the child is not distracted. But they do not make a working corner too modest and boring, as this will repel the student’s desire to engage in homework.
• The child must be accustomed to accuracy and cleanliness. Therefore, all objects after installing the table are placed in places allotted for them and make sure that order is maintained on the table.
• If the table is equipped with a computer to the children's room, then the monitor is chosen anti -gear, this will help preserve the child’s vision from an early age.
• When organizing a workplace, it is advisable to leave a few empty shelves that will not take shape of some things to temporarily free the space of the table.
• An important factor is the choice of a chair. If the growth of the child is 100-120 cm, then he needs a chair with a height of the seat above the floor of 32 cm, and with a depth of 27 cm.

Much attention should also be paid to lamps, since not only the vision of the child depends on them, but also his ability to focus. It is advisable to use several combined lamps. For example, daylight lamp, table lamp and wall sconces.
