Educational institutions are facilities where each person spends many years of their life. Desks used in these institutions are designed with specific features of shape, material and size. Long-term use of desks in educational institutions may be the cause of damage to the health of users if they are not carefully designed and dimensioned. In compliance with the prescribed rules and dimensions in the design of desks it is of great importance for proper development of the users that are in the stage of growth and development when using this type of desk. In this paper, the functional dimensions of real samples of desks taken from primary schools in the Municipality of Aerodrom – Skopje will be measured. The testing samples of desks will be designated to the group that they belong to according to the EN 1729-1:2006 standard, and all requested dimensions according to the standard will be measured. The purpose of this work is to show the real condition of desks in primary schools and whether the desks are with the requested dimensions of the EN 1729-1:2006 standard.
