People often forget that a child starts out at just a fraction of an adult’s size. This difference in sizing can cause a problem with young children trying to use items scaled for the average adult. Not only does having smaller furniture make younger children feel included, sometimes it is just a better choice. In areas that have a large number of children, such as a daycare, school, or park, it is safer for little ones to be on something scaled for them. Even though the size is scaled down, the quality isn’t. It is still made from the same perforated steel and Standard, 1-⅝-inch, frame that can be found on our Standard Bench With Back. The seats and tabletop are finished in a thermoplastic coating to make it water and UV resistant. All these features make it hardy and well-designed.
