Every student learns differently. With a collective of personalities, classroom furniture can impact high performing students from a young age. Furniture in classrooms are not only an intricate part of the environment, but also a tool within classrooms.

By utilizing the right furniture, teachers are able to increase student collaboration, focus, involvement, engagement, feedback, and stimulation. Ultimately, the right desks, chairs and tables can help teachers develop their students into proactive learners.



In Baton Rouge, Frost-Barber opened the largest educational furniture showroom in the state to help educators make the best decisions for their environments. There, Education Specialists help schools and institutions create effective active learning environments that meet the evolving needs of students.


Classroom Considerations 

Every learning environment, whether it’s a school, university or office, requires an ergonomic touch. This ensures the environment supports learning by keeping students focused and comfortable. For example, flexible ergonomic chairs will support the body’s natural movement and varying postures. When evaluating school furniture, it’s important to keep ergonomic principles in mind. Children need to be able to fidget, while still staying focused. Frost-Barber has furniture to address that need.

Classrooms are becoming more dynamic and engaging. Correctly designed classroom furniture is an essential factor in the normal development of all student abilities. Studies show that students using incorrectly sized furniture experienced higher levels of back pain, directly affecting their ability to excel in the classroom.

Flexible classroom furniture will ensure classrooms are adaptable. Moreover, students from all levels will be able to utilize one room. The key to flexible, mobile classroom furniture is lightweight adjustability—giving classes the opportunity to transition their furniture to meet the needs of students. Additionally, adjustable furniture allows schools to purchase one set of furniture for all sizes of students, thus saving money in the long run.
