Hi Jodie,

I don’t have any specific recommendations, but I will warn you away from purchasing armchairs that have an integrated desk like the one in the picture below.  I have 4 of a similar style in my library and they have not withstood the test of time…and high school students.  The desk is still intact but the pin assembly has worn down and they sag at an odd angle.

Hi Jodie,

I purchased Poang chairs from Ikea about 10 years ago and they are still going strong!  I just have to replace the cushions every few years.  They are affordable and durable.

A question for those of you at the high school level:

I'm in the market for comfortable/mobile furniture for my Media Center.  Do you have any recommendations on what you feel works best for teenagers and what you have found they prefer?  I have a limited budget, but I am looking to add pieces that help facilitate a collaborative learning environment.  

Any vendors or products you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
