• the presence of correctly organized drawers and shelves is also important; it should be checked that all drawers slide out easily and smoothly so that the baby does not accidentally injure himself;
• the workplace is recreated so that everything necessary is at hand for the child; next to the writing table it is worth putting bedside tables on wheels, even a little lady can easily move them if necessary;
• special attention should be paid to transformer models, because their height and angle of inclination are adjustable; such a writing table can last a long time, changing for a growing child, thus, you can organize a place for classes for the entire period of schooling;
• the table is bought as soon as the child starts going to school, so drawers and shelves for storing educational supplies will be a mandatory attribute; the table should perform well its main function - a comfortable and practical workplace.

Manufacturers produce many different options for girls' tables. Eyes diverge from a variety of models that differ not only in attractive appearance, but also in good functionality.

• Corner table Is an incredibly comfortable design that allows you to reach a much larger number of objects thanks to the curved shape of the table top. It is often called a computer table, because a monitor can be placed on it very conveniently, and a keyboard is placed on a shelf that pulls out from below.

• Superstructure table Is another ergonomic option. Just imagine how much space you can free up by placing textbooks and other necessary items not only in the drawers under the table, but also in the shelves above it.

• Dual option has become very popular in recent years. Happy parents of twins living in the same room can now practically recreate a workplace for both children at once.

• the best choice will be bright colors that perfectly reflect the inner mood; the girl's tastes may differ from yours, so the main task is to listen to her wishes in order to choose the right design;
• when choosing a color, it is necessary to take into account the lighting of the room - if it is located on the sunny side, any bright shade will do; but dark rooms are more suitable for white tones that can add light;
• if the child grows up as a small pedant striving for order, then the choice should be focused on the lightest shades;
• bright colors are more suitable for hyperactive children.

Modern desks for girls are presented in various styles. A classic table for a girl in typical shape and colors is the standard solution for parents who trust the long-proven and everyone's favorite options for furnishing a child's room. However, more unconventional options in more interesting styles are also worth considering. A minimalist high-tech table can be a good solution. If a table is needed for a girl, it is worth considering a neat model with rounded corners, devoid of unnecessary details. Another option worthy of attention is a table in a romantic style. Made in pale pink or lavender shades, it is an excellent design solution.

When choosing a desk it's always better to do choice in favor of natural materials from wood, while it is worth considering the following options:

• solid wood furniture is distinguished not only by its durability, but also by astronomical prices; if you are planning to buy a table corresponding to the age of the child, in order to subsequently change it to a more teenage model, you can always find an option at more down-to-earth prices;
• for a girl, a more practical option would be a table made of MDF boards, all this material is known for its strength, and besides, it is environmentally friendly;
• Particleboard cannot be used in the interior of a children's room, since there is a very high chance of poisonous discharge;
• plastic furniture is not worth buying for the same reasons;
• it is not very pleasant to sit behind a metal product for a long time.

You should always pay close attention to the position in which the child is sitting. You will have to work hard to keep the learning space organized according to the rules. Otherwise, you risk the physical health of your child. Failure to comply with the following recommendations may lead to a drop in visual acuity, scoliosis, headaches and other unpleasant consequences, which can be avoided if you approach the task wisely:

• there should be no more than 15–20 cm between the girl’s knees and the table;
• the legs of a sitting child should reach the floor well, which is not so easy to achieve, given that the baby is constantly growing; instead of constantly adjusting the height of the chair, you can use a leg stand of a suitable size to help shape good posture;
• the chair should be equipped with a backrest that comfortably supports the baby's back;
• armrests will help add convenience when sitting for a long time;
• the tabletop should be at the level of the child's elbow in a sitting position; it depends on the ratio of the height of the table and chair whether the child will slouch at the workplace;
• when placing a table by the window, take into account the moment of lighting; the light source should not be too bright, it is absolutely unacceptable for the light to blind and hit the eyes;
• if you have purchased a curved table, make sure that the computer on the table does not take up much space, the child should be spacious at his workplace; the technique is designed to help in learning, but not in any way to distract and draw all the attention of the baby to itself.

Keeping up with the rapid growth of a child is not always possible. The way out of the situation would be to buy a table with a margin of 1–2 years.When buying a transformer, this problem is solved by itself, because the height of the tabletop can be adjusted after each jump in the girl's growth.

There are two options for the correct positioning of the desk.

• Opposite the window. Most often, girls' desk is placed by the window, which allows them to learn lessons in natural light, which is extremely beneficial for vision. The child can take a break from artificial lighting. Psychologists have proven that a natural light source has a beneficial and calming effect on the human psyche. You can also take a short break and admire the view from the window. The location by the window is great for saving space in the room. If such a situation has drawbacks, then they can be easily eliminated. When the sun is too bright outside the windows, this can be corrected by hanging blackout curtains.

• Against the wall. A workplace for a student can also be placed against a wall, then it is very convenient to hang shelves on which you can put educational supplies, and interesting views outside the window will not distract from classes. True, then it is worthwhile to attend to the choice of a table lamp so that the child does not have to do homework in dim lighting. Homework can be very energy-consuming. You can hang several interesting paintings with animals or landscapes on the wall to cheer up the little student.
