Set Of 4 Table Legs: Height 35 cm
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Four solid beech legs at 35 cm, the lowest of the range, for the tables a toddler works at sitting on the floor or on a very low chair. At this height a table is barely furniture: it is a defined surface at the level a child already occupies, which is what an infant and toddler environment is built on. Attach to any Nienhuis table top, sold separately. Finned ABS feet keep the table quiet. Solid beech, height 35 cm.
“The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.”
The 35cm table legs create work surfaces at the precise height where children's feet touch the floor while maintaining proper elbow positioning for writing and manipulation.
- Develops proper posture habits through ergonomically appropriate table height

This specific height measurement directly correlates to the average seated working position of 3-6 year old children, enabling sustained concentration without physical strain. When tables stand at 35cm, children experience immediate success in pouring exercises, writing practice, and artistic work because their arms move naturally at shoulder level. The table legs transform any surface into a prepared environment element that respects the child's physical proportions. Unlike adult-height furniture that forces awkward reaching or dangling feet, these 35cm legs allow children to settle into deep focus, supporting the development of executive function through comfortable, extended work periods.
