Preparation, assembly

Outline of a small children's table and chair

The first step after determining the design and construction - search for the appropriate assembly scheme, drawing on the Internet. Selecting the necessary documentation for making desks with your own hands, prepare the necessary materials, components, and accessories.

It's time to start the build process. An example is a four-piece desk. Advantages - simplicity of construction, strength, stability, significant savings in materials.

Simple written unregulated desk for the student

You can assemble it from sheets of laminated chipboard, MDF or an array.

1. Chipboard is popular because of its cheapness. The material looks simple, short-lived, the main disadvantage is harmful fumes of formaldehyde, released with time.
   

   Chipboard - inexpensive, available in any color, material for making furniture

2. MDF is more expensive, more solid, neat, and ecologically close to natural wood.
   

   MDF - more durable and practical material, but is more expensive

3. Array - the safest, beautiful, durability reaches fifty years.
   

   Solid wood - noble, good and durable, but the most expensive material

Having determined the material, prepare the tools. It will take:

1. finish for the ends, special glue (when using chipboard);
2. screwdriver;
3. furniture screws, decorative masking of screws;
4. electric drill set with drills;
5. yardstick;
6. emery paper / sanding machine (when working with natural wood);
7. paint, painting apparatus (MDF / array).

Tools for making furniture at home

Thorough preparation is the key to quick and efficient assembly.

It can be done in just 4 steps.

1. Prepare 4 sheets of the selected material (chipboard, natural wood, MDF treated) for the cover, 2 end walls, 1st inner. Look at the dimensions on the selected drawing, or define it yourself. According to the standards, a student with height up to 115 centimeters corresponds to a table height of 46 centimeters, and up to 130 - about 50 centimeters. You can cut, paint (only MDF / solid) material with your own hands, if you have the necessary equipment and room, which allows safe work. The option is easier - buy ready, processed plates.

2. On the side panels, measure 5 centimeters at the top from the edge, then 35 centimeters there, but lower. The absolute identity of the markup is important. In the marked places, drill holes for the screws, which will be the back panel of the future desks. To prevent the self-tapping screws from protruding above the surface of the panels, expand the grooves according to the size of the caps with a larger drill bit. You connect the end walls to the inside, but do not tighten the screws too much until the end of the assembly process.

3. Drill similar holes in the countertop. If all dimensions are met correctly, it will be wider and longer than the previously assembled base. Before drilling, check again with a tape measure whether the protrusions of the cover are the same at both ends. At the back, also leave an indent, as a result, the desk will be placed close to the walls, despite the plinth. Screw in 3/4 length screws. Finally, evaluate the geometric correctness of the product. If you are completely satisfied with the result, tighten all the screws. Hats mask caps.
4. Work with chipboard: secure the ends of all panels, gluing a special finishing tape. When working with an array: carefully clean the wood with an emery paper / sander. Cover the surface with special solutions that protect the natural array: varnish, special oil, paint.
   

   Attach the edge to the ends of the blanks

If the final testing showed that the height of the furniture could not be 100% guessed, the excess is correctable with the help of a suitable chair.

Assembled tables and chairs for children do it yourself

You should buy a chair with adjustable height, raise the seat to the desired level.
