School Set on Square Tube No. 6: Double Desk and 2 Sled-Base Chairs

A set for senior classes and rooms with a stable student age group: a double desk with a shelf at a fixed height of 760 mm (height group No. 6) and two sled-base chairs with a 460 mm seat height. With no adjustment mechanisms there are fewer parts to maintain.

The distinctive feature of this set is the sled-base chair frame: two longitudinal runners spread the load, so the chair stands firmly and slides across the floor without the clatter typical of four-legged models. Desk and chair frames are made of 20×20 mm square steel tube with a powder polymer coating. The rounded-corner worktop is 18 mm laminated chipboard with 1 mm PVC edging; the front panel and shelf are 16 mm chipboard with 0.5 mm PVC. The 380×360 mm seat and 380×200 mm backrest are bent plywood 8.5–9.5 mm thick, finished with clear water-based lacquer; corners and the front seat edge are rounded.

What is the advantage of a sled base? The chair rests on two longitudinal runners, so it does not wobble on uneven floors, scratches the surface less and moves more quietly than four-legged chairs.

Who is height group No. 6 intended for? Desks at 760 mm and chairs with a 460 mm seat suit senior students — the standard configuration for middle and high school classrooms.

• the water-based lacquer has no harsh odour, chipboard edges are sealed with PVC banding, and plastic caps on the tube ends protect flooring.
