If growth does not fit into GOST
At the dinner table should be comfortable for the whole family. This is an axiom that does not require proof. But harmony is not easy to achieve - serial furniture may not be suitable.
The height of the table from the floor to the table top is calculated for a person of average height - 1.65 m. According to the requirements of GOST 13025.3-85 for furniture - the standard height of the dining table is 0.72-0.78 m.
If this is not enough, then the height of the dining table is calculated by the formula:
B = Pcp * VGOST / PCT,
B is the calculated height of the table,
PCP is the average height of adult family members,
VGOST - table height according to GOST - 750 mm,
PCT - the average growth of an adult - 1,650 mm.
The average height of your family members is determined by the average arithmetic value. According to this formula, the main ranges for the dinner table are calculated:
- Low-growing people (up to 1.5 m) - 0.75-0.77 m;
- Below average height (1.5-1.65 m) - 0.8-0.83 m;
- The standard value in accordance with GOST (1.65-1.8 m) is 0.85-0.9 m;

From 15 to 16 years (from 1.53 m) | 0,66 | 0,44 |
From 17 to 18 years old (from 1.63 m) | 0,72 | 0,46 |
Make sure that important things are followed:
- The feet are completely touching the floor when the leg is bent at an angle of 90 to 100 °;
- The gap between the rib cage and the edge of the furniture is 0.8 m;
- The seated teen rests on the tabletop with his elbows, without bending his back or lifting his shoulders high,
- The computer monitor is placed at a distance of at least 0.5 m, the child looks at it at an angle of 0-30 °, bending the neck back is unacceptable. If the furniture is too high, and it is not possible to change it, then get a stand under your legs and place a pillow on the chair seat.
