Our materials were delivered in two separate shipments and the whole building and half of the entire school could hear my excitement. Even the USPS delivery man was excited for us to receive our new desks and chairs. I had help from a retired teacher who worked tirelessly across the hall to put together our furniture. We would carry over and swap out 2 desks at a time. The kiddos loved it as they anticipated who would get the next NEW set! They were just as excited, if not more excited than I was. I had tons of coworkers stopping by to check out our fancy new setup. Our classroom is looking fresher than ever! \r\n\r\nWe are able to rearrange the seating to accommodate each style of learning. The desks are very sturdy and I can already tell these chairs will last through the torment of an average 9 year old for several years to come. They look sleek and are extremely functional. I really like the pencil holders, storage space and hooks for headphones.\r\n\r\nMy students are able to walk about the room with ease and being able to easily adjust table and chair heights has been a game changer! Overall we are obsessed with how it looks, how it functions, and how fortunate we are to have received these items as a gift to bettering our learning experiences.
