5 Signs That Its Time to Replace Your Classrooms FurnitureThese days, when it comes to school furniture, its all about ergonomics. As a teacher, you want your students to pay attention in class, right? So if you see your kids squirming in their seats or you can tell its impossible for them to get comfortable, then perhaps its time to replace the uncomfortable desks in your classroom.

School Outlet has come up with 5 signs its time for you to replace the furniture in your classroom. Some signs are clearer than others (like the chairs are detaching from the desks), but what we really want you to keep in mind is your students comfort is number one (#1!). Your students need to be comfortable so they can focus in class and do what they are there to do: Learn!

1.Cracks

There are many reasons why cracks occur (preventing cracks is its own subject). For example, if wooden desks are overly exposed to the sun, then the wood eventually dries out and cracks. Furthermore, many things can cause plastic to crack, like: weight, materials wearing, and abuse. Cracks in school furniture happen and if the furniture in your schools classroom is cracked, then its probably time to replace it.

2.Breaking

You might argue cracking and breaking are the same, but if a chair leg breaks off then its not necessarily a crack. If your classrooms furniture is broken in any way that makes the furniture unusable, then its time to replace it. Examples of broken school furniture include: broken chair legs, broken chair backs, bent chair or desk legs that cant be replaced. If the furniture can be fixed, then you should do that. But if the damage is irreparable, then its time for new furniture.

3.Vandalized Beyond Repair

A few scratches, dents, or Sharpie marks isnt going to distinguish a students focus, but if vandalism is so bad that it is distracting and there is no way to get rid of it, then you might want to replace the furniture or cover it up.

4.Out Of Date

Outdated furniture might not make students lose their focus, but modern furniture can improve the moods of students and teachers. People like when rooms and environments look nice and are clean and orderly. If the furniture in your classroom is outdated and could be replaced, and you know your students will benefit from the replacement, then whats stopping you?

5.Uncomfortable

Last, but arguably the most important: Comfort. If the furniture in your classroom is not comfortable, then now is the time to get new furniture. Students must be comfortable to excel in the classroom!
