Educational furniture plays a vital role in education and can even improve learning among students. Classroom furniture is important for the function it serves within the classroom environment. While deciding on what is needed in a classroom is a personal choice, it is essential to consider how the furniture complements the subject being taught and the comfort of the students. School furniture includes desks, chairs, tables and shelves among many other pieces. School furniture is of paramount importance for all grades including Nursery School, grade r Lower primary and higher primary through to secondary school and even university.

Most high quality classroom furniture will be used by thousands of learners over many many years. Primarily the type of furniture for a particular classroom is driven by the age of the students and the teacher's presentation of a lesson. Also of importance when considering school furniture is the size of the classroom and the number of students the class room accommodates.

Research has shown that learners learn better if experiencing learning concretely (touching, feeling and experiencing) rather than the old school thoughts that learning can only be experienced through the abstract use of textbooks alone. It is also important that the process of learning starts at birth and continues with a formal pre-school education before the learner enters the formal school system.
