And when you need to remove it, you can simply fold it up and hang it on the wall to save space, and the kit already has a wall mount.

For offices there is a large selection of rotating chairs on wheels, with or without armrests (“Snillae”, “Renberget”, “Marcus”). There is also a rotating chair for working at the table, but without the wheels - "Kullaberg" on iron legs, made in the industrial style of the last century.

And in the design of a bright swivel chair "Ikea PS Lemsk" there is a folding awning that will create a cozy nest where your baby can hide. If you need to equip a nursery for two children, then instead of the high chairs it is practical to choose a bench from the Flisat series, which has three positions for the height of the seat, or the Stuva bench with a box for storing toys.
