I teach, but students are only in thier respective rows 1/3 of the time, with desks being moved about to form various groups within a 90 minute HS timeframe. (our school is going for new furniture) I'm looking at trapazoids, but they all seem flimsy...students are hard on furniture...it needs to be movable, compact. Students like adults are all shapes and sizes...we need a bit of comfort,adjuability, and versitility in designs.

I attend highschool currently, and I've always thought desks needed an upgrade, but this won't ever work. Of course, the points you brought up above are valid (vibration, spacing etc...) But they don't free stand! You need two items to make one kid's desk. Since the school frequently moves desks in and around for exams (all the desks go to the gym, where they can not be bolted down, of course) and, frequently, the teachers will move the rows or kids move desks together to work collaboratively. Bolting to the floor will not work. Stand alone desks are much easier. Am I the only one who sees the ridiculous flaw?

So I would tend to ignore the seats are non-adjustable/leg room is fixed complaints. Storage is definitely a bigger issue, however, especially in the younger years when children tend to use their desks as lockers...
