Abstract
The average physical dimensions of students have increased due to changes in living standards and dietary habits. Moreover, students' anthropometric measurements also vary widely across different age groups, within the same age groups, and between genders and different cultures. Thus, it is unlikely that current school furniture with fixed dimensions would be compatible with the majority of students. In order to ensure proper posture and comfortableness while students are learning, the development and distribution of adjustable tables and chairs are essential. The market demand for such adjustable furniture is expected to grow rapidly.
