Chairs for School and Classroom

School chairs are a core product found at Worthington Direct. We are experts at classroom seating and offer a large selection of chair options that support a comfortable and engaging learning environment for both students and teachers.

How to select the best school chair?

The best classroom chair will depend on the comfort and needs of your student body, durability, flexibility, safety, and price. By choosing a chair that provides proper support and features, students can sit comfortably and focus on their studies without distractions. Schools must also consider the budget available and the ongoing maintenance and cleaning.

What is the right classroom chair size?

Having the right size school chair will promote good posture and may reduce unwanted fidgeting. School chair sizing is listed by the distance from the top of the seat (where your bottom sits) to the floor. To determine what size is needed by your students, measure the distance from the back of their knee to the floor while standing. That distance should roughly correspond with a chair size.

Not all students are the same size, but as a rule of thumb, it’s better to size up than down when it comes to all chairs and seating. Worthington Direct's general recommendations for classroom chair sizes by grade:

• 8” Chairs = Toddler ages 1-2
• 10” Chairs = Toddler ages 2-3
• 12” Chairs = Pre-K ages 3-4
• 14” Chairs = Kindergarten to 2nd Grade
• 16” Chairs = 2nd Grade to 4th Grade
• 17” Chairs = 5th Grade to 12th Grade
• 18” Chairs = 5th Grade and up through Adults
