Question and Answer

Q1: What is a kidney-shaped table and how is it used in the classroom?

 A1: A kidney table is a curved bean-shaped table where the teacher sits inside the concave curve with reach to every student. Schools use them for reading groups, guided math, and center-based learning. The shape lets the teacher assist multiple students simultaneously without leaving the seat.

Q2: What is the difference between a kidney table and a horseshoe table?

A2: A kidney table has a C-shaped curve where the teacher sits inside. A horseshoe table is fully U-shaped with the teacher inside the opening. Horseshoe tables seat more students. Kidney tables are better suited for smaller groups.

Q3: Do kidney tables come with dry erase tops for classroom use?

A3: Yes. Dry erase kidney tables are available from Marco. These replace the standard laminate with a whiteboard surface that accepts dry erase markers and wipes clean. Students solve problems directly at the table. Confirm chair height against the model height range before ordering.

Q4: What height ranges do adjustable kidney tables offer for K-12?

A4: Adjustable kidney tables come in two leg sizes: toddler legs for early childhood and standard legs for K-12. Allied Velocity models include an extended height option with casters. Confirm leg size against your student group before ordering.

Q5: Do you accept school purchase orders for kidney table orders?

A5: Yes. We accept school purchase orders and work with TIPS, NCPA, and PEPPM cooperative purchasing contracts. Districts can also use ESSER funds for classroom furniture. Contact our team at 877-909-9910 or rick@todaysclassroom.com for volume pricing and bid documentation.

Q6: Can your team help configure the right kidney table for our classroom?

A6: Yes, at no charge. Our Project Team reviews your grade level, student count, and room dimensions and recommends the right kidney table size, surface, and leg height. In-person site visits are available. Visit the Project Team page to get started.
