Am I the only one who sees the ridiculous flaw?

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.

Ok, maybe it was just my seriously-underfunded California school experience, but almost my entire k-12 education was spent in a desk with a chair bolted to it by a long metal bar along one side, pushed against the person in front of me and leaning against the person behind me. 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…

I can see the steel supports in the floor, but even then, if you have a heavy person sitting in that desk, I don’t see how such a small support would hold that immense load. Also Angel didn’t misunderstand the concept, the desk is technically attached to something attached, or bolted to the floor. I can just see this being very unsafe with all of the stress the desks would undergo. Also, if floor plans had to be changed for a classroom, this floor support idea would pose a big problem. The desks are basically a permanent feature of the room with now allowance to move them around, only remove them from their stands, which also protrude from the ground. You would be wasting an entire room’s functionality if you ever wanted to change something. Also, a real world situation would require some form of adjustments for those who are of different body shapes. Your claim that elementary, middle, and high schools not providing adjustments isn’t 100% true; most institutions have desks that have adjustable legs and some even have plain chairs that aren’t fixed to the desk. It has a very nice design, but its not practical at all.
