Desk

bk2005

My children do homework on a desk (for children) from Ikea for 3 years.

However, I find that my children bend their back when they do their homework. I suspect that the desk is too low for them.

Where can I buy a good one? Are those adjustable height desks better? If yes, how height should I adjust the desk?

Thanks.

You may consider an adjustable desk with a chair, I bought it at SPI shop when my daughter was 4.5 years old. They said the height is suitable for a kid from 4 up to an adult's height. My daughter used nearly one year and I felt it changed a lot in her sitting posture and she likes the desk so much. They have 2 lines of this kind of products, one from Germany and another one from Taiwan, both performing similar functions.

Hi hannahmum,

I find a SPI advertisement banner on BK. The link is http://www.baby-kingdom.com/iframe/spi_2006apr_ad.html. It is too expensive.

Is there any price difference between Germany product and Taiwan product? If yes, the price quoted in the adv is for Germany product or Taiwan product?

I bought it at their TST shop in Ocean Terminal, but this shop is not using the name of SPI, it's call ERGOFUN, but I know they are the same company. My daughter is using the one from Germany, desk + chair + light cost around $14000, although it was not cheap, it really performed the requirement that I suffered with my daughter's posture before. On the other hand, I think it can be used for quite a long time, say 4-5 years at least, and I'm paying in interest free instalment.

I just browsed their website, I couldn't found any information of these desk, they only have a page of 2006 new schoolbags on it, there are some addresses of their shops. I hope this could help you.

這是德國貨價錢。

因為可以用上十幾年關係，所以我覺得買也不妨。不過如果小朋友是坐不定型，那張轉椅就未必合用了。

It is very expensive but it can be used more than 10 years. I also buy one for my daughter from TST shop last year. After one year, it is still in a  good condition. However, its lead time is really long. It took three months for us to get the desk last summer.
Order should be placed now for September shipment.

I saw a kid's desk with adjustable height in Causeway Bay IKEA. The desk top size is around 60x80cm. The legs of the desk can be adjusted. (I've forgotten the height range.) Price $6XX only.

I think this is a new product, I didn't see it before.

Thanks all for the information.

For those who bought the desk, did you also buy the chair?

您好呀bk2005! 個SPI adv 入面介紹果張desk同chair 係台灣貨，我屋企都有一set 呀，total 買咗 $7360. 其實我覺得唔算貴，真係值呢個價 ，因為真係好好用。以前我買d普通desk 同chair 比我女女用，佢就成日彎住條腰做功課，我都真係驚佢久而久之脊椎會有問題呀，所以就買咗SPI 套傢俬比女女用。佢用咗之後姿勢正確咗好多，最大原因係張desk 可以調校高度同傾度; 而張chair 校高度時背墊會因應其高度改變而有所調整。

My daughter got the similar problem, finally I bought another set of accessories (5 pcs of legs) to replace the castors, cost about $4xx, and also the seat can be locked.

Taiwan made? I bought a set of German made desk and chair three years ago for less than $7,000. How come they are so expensive now!

我估可能係牌子唔同，亦可能係產品有所改良所以貴咗。不過如果用到譬如說五年或以上，咁就真係一d都唔算貴。
