With the respect to the fast development of new computer technologies, it is unconditionally necessary that school furniture reflected this trend and adapted to it. Our use of computer technologies and utilities in teaching is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to improve school desks so that they would be fit for new computer technology. Creation of a compact set of information relative to the issue concerned, which would comprise of needs and requirements for individual pieces of furniture, represented an important step undertaken. The goal was to assess current conditions of school furniture used in computer classrooms. The analysis aims to stipulate requirements related to the actual type of furniture, in which many influencing factors are taken into consideration. History of school furniture is interesting as well. A survey on the state of school furniture intended for computer classrooms is the main output. The analysis presents foundations for development of closely specialized furniture.
