Lounge Seating — Expert Answer

How should lounge seating be arranged when children may be waiting?

Spaces that accommodate waiting children need: some child-sized seating (seat height 12–14 inches vs. standard 17–18 inches), durable and easily cleanable upholstery (vinyl is ideal), pieces without sharp corners or hard edges at child head height, clear sightlines between adult seating and a children's activity area, and no upholstered pieces where small items can disappear into gaps. Modular seating with ottomans or lower seatless surfaces lets children sit at different heights. Avoid precious or easily damaged materials. Pediatric clinics, family law offices, and family-friendly workplaces should all address the waiting-with-children scenario. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
