A Review on the Design of Desks and Chairs for Primary School Students

This paper reviews some articles on the design aspects of student desks and chairs in primary schools. There are so many articles on ergonomic and anthropometric aspects of student desks. We classified the papers in two main categories: the first includes papers debating existing problems of student desks; the second suggesting frameworks for designing proper products and appropriate methods of seating during studying at schools. Through the analysis and summing up the results of the two, this study tries to give some suggestions for designing school desks and chairs.
