About Ergotron LearnFit
Transform classrooms into active learning environments with on-demand sit-stand desks. With the simple squeeze of a hand lever, kids can change from sitting to standing. This adjustment capability, along with the deskf s ease of mobility, gives an educator unparalleled flexibility in arranging their classroom for the lesson.
With its lower minimum height, Ergotron 24-547-003 LearnFit is an ideal adjustable standing desk for elementary-school students ages 6 and above. It is optimized to provide sit-to-stand adjustment for students ages 12 through adult when using standard classroom chairs for seating.
Casters
• High-quality, smooth-rolling dual casters easily move desk across carpets, flooring and thresholds
• Lockable front casters can hold unit in place
Super Durable Worksurface Construction
MDF core with solid high-pressure laminate on top surface and melamine laminate on bottom surface. Worksurface edges are finished with molded polyurea band, which withstands the most challenging student use
Students
For students ages 12 and over, LearnFit can be easily adjusted between their sitting and standing heights, with a standard-height student chair being used for seating. For students ages 6 through 12, LearnFit should be set at the standing height of each individual student. For seating in elementary classrooms, it is recommended that each LearnFit be paired with a stool that is taller than the typical classroom chair. This will allow the desk to remain in the standing-height position during the class period
Research Relating to Standing Desks in Classrooms

• Classroom performance - Greater student focus and engagement is achieved with introduction of stand-biased desks: Benden et al, 2011
• Academic performance - A positive correlation is shown between physical activity and test scores: Institute of Medicine, 2013 (further reading) | Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2010
