This award-winning piece of furniture is perfect for a child’s room. Look closely at the legs and you can see they are in segments. That’s so that you can add an extra piece as the user grows taller which saves you having to buy a new one.

It was designed by Olaf Schroeder and is suitable from the age of two. You can then adjust it four times so that it goes from 42cm high to 72cm.

There are also lots of extra bits and pieces that can be attached along the far side including pen caddies, a book stand and a roll of white paper for drawing.
