When it comes to outfitting a classroom, making the right choice of school desks and chairs is more than aesthetics, it’s about long-term value, safety, and durability. At Chairtec (visit us at chairtec.co.za), we understand that schools need furniture that can endure years of daily use. That’s why our range of school classroom furniture is engineered to last, built strong, built smart, built for children of various age groups.

Below, let me walk you through the key types of furniture we offer, and what makes each one ideal for school settings.
Teachers’ Desk — The Backbone of Any Classroom
Your teacher needs a stable, practical workspace. Our Teachers Desk is designed with a spacious top and robust construction, providing ample room for planning, grading, and day-to-day administrative tasks. Whether in the classroom desk setup or in the admin office, our teacher desks form part of the backbone of an efficient learning environment.
We offer optional extras like drawers or modesty panels, and always build with quality materials that resist wear and tear over time. In a school setting, a high-quality teacher desk reduces replacement costs and ensures reliability year after year.
Combination School Desk + Chair (“Combo Desk”)
In settings where space must be optimized, our Combination School Desk is a smart solution. This integrates the desk top and chair on a single metal frame (with or without a shelf). Available in:
-
1200 × 450 × 750 mm (double version)
-
600 × 450 × 750 mm (single version)
These combination desks reduce footprint and simplify classroom layout. The welded frame ensures strength and stability. Built with the same Saligna or Supawood tops, they deliver both convenience and durability.
Standard School Desk (Standalone)
The classic school desk remains essential in nearly every classroom. Our standalone School Desks feature:
-
A sturdy metal frame that resists bending or warping
-
Tops in Saligna or Supawood — both solid, durable woods
-
Multiple size options to accommodate different grade levels:
• 550 × 450 × 750 mm
• 750 × 450 × 750 mm
• 550 × 450 × 650 mm
• 1000 × 450 × 650 mm
• 1000 × 450 × 575 mm
• 1200 × 450 × 750 mm
This flexibility ensures you can match desks to learner height, minimizing ergonomic stress and maximizing classroom comfort. Because the frame is heavy duty and the top is solid wood, our desks stand up to daily knocks, spilled ink, and heavy usage.
Traditional School Chair
The Traditional School Chair is time-tested, simple, and resilient. Key features:
-
Constructed in durable plywood
-
Multiple sizes (and weights):
• 580 × 365 × 380 mm – ~2.5 kg
• 670 × 380 × 395 mm – ~3 kg
• 750 × 455 × 520 mm – ~3.5 kg
These chairs stand up to rough use, frequent stacking, and repositioning. Their classic design makes them easy to maintain, clean, and repair over years.
Standard (Stackable) School Chair
For flexibility and compact storage, our Standard School Chair is a great pick. Its stackable design is perfect for multipurpose classrooms or halls, and yet remains robust enough for everyday classroom use. Available sizes and weights include:
-
725 × 450 × 540 mm — ~5.4 kg
-
775 × 450 × 550 mm — ~5.5 kg
-
815 × 450 × 570 mm — ~5.8 kg
The durable frame and well-finished seat/back make these chairs ideal for heavy traffic, exam halls, and shifting classroom layouts.
Charlie Lab Bar Stool
In labs, workshops, or training rooms, a standard chair may not be appropriate. Enter the Charlie Lab Bar Stool:
-
Height options: 600 mm / 700 mm / 800 mm
-
Sturdy metal frame
-
Compact footprint
This no-frills, durable lab stool resists corrosion, impacts, and repeated use in practical environments. Ideal for science labs, art rooms, and technical training facilities.
