Make Summer Learning Shine with the Right School Furniture

With summer learning programs kicking off soon, now’s the time to refresh your classroom, library, or community space with the school furniture that keeps students engaged and on task. Whether you're hosting a STEAM camp at the rec center or leading enrichment classes in a school setting, the right classroom furniture can help make your space more inviting, organized, and productive—while helping students avoid the dreaded summer slide.

At Worthington Direct, we’ve pulled together a few smart picks to help make prepping for summer learning easy and efficient.


A Mobile Teacher Desk That Moves With You

First up: mobility. If you're teaching across multiple rooms or buildings this summer, a mobile teacher’s desk is your best friend. It lets you take your lesson plans, supplies, and personal items with you while staying organized—and it helps you stay flexible as learning shifts from one space to another.

The Mobile Teacher Standing Height Workstation II by Mooreco is a customer favorite, offering generous workspace, locking storage, and durable casters so you can roll from classroom to classroom with ease. It’s a mobile command center made for busy educators.

Stay Organized with Smart Storage Solutions

Classrooms can get messy fast—especially during summer sessions when regular routines are out the window. A rolling storage solution can help keep school supplies, activity kits, and student materials neat and accessible.

We recommend the StorWerks Triple Wide Mobile Workbench by Certwood. It comes with large plastic storage bins, making it an ideal choice for summer school teachers, library coordinators, and even community rec centers hosting youth programs. Use it for storing everything from art supplies to snacks to backpacks.

Don’t Overlook School Desks and Classroom Chairs

Classic Comfort Chair by Columbia

No summer learning space is complete without comfortable and functional seating. Uncomfortable school chairs and wobbly desks can distract students from engaging with the lesson.

That’s why the Classic Comfort Chair by Columbia is a great pick—it offers ergonomic support with a flexible back that promotes good posture. Pair it with the Capella Adjustable Desk, which adjusts to fit students of various heights.

Adding high-quality school desks and classroom chairs now not only enhances your summer learning setup—it gives you a head start on back-to-school prep in the fall.

Take the Classroom Outdoors

Why stay cooped up when the sun is shining? Outdoor learning offers a change of scenery that can refresh students and educators alike. Create a casual and fun outdoor learning area with durable school furniture like the Hartford Round Outdoor Picnic Table by UltraPlay.

Perfect for lessons under the sun, group projects, or lunchtime chats, this table turns any schoolyard, library courtyard, or community green space into a pop-up classroom.
