Total size chairs and tables are made based on the results of the ANOVA test. Determination percentile adjusted to ISO standards. The results compared with the design of chairs and tables in use today and the chairs and tables ISO standard. The chairs and tables are designed each have 3 sizes. In terms of small size used by children grade 1 and grade 2. Medium-sized chairs and tables used by children grade 3 and grade 4. And for large-size chairs and tables for kids grade 5 and grade 6. |
