Our room is also much more inviting and welcoming. These kids are able to easily slide in and out of their chairs, as well as pushing chairs in with minimal effort. The chairs are very nice on our floors and do not leave marks behind. They stack nicely for cleaning under and around.

I pulled four students that are on the same level to study with my on letters and their sounds.
