It’s a game-changer that enhances both physical well-being and educational outcomes, making learning more accessible and enjoyable for every child. We couldn’t be more impressed with its thoughtful design and the positive impact it has had in our classroom.”

In Required Step 1, you will:

• Select your desk size. R240 is 32” x 24” (81x61 cm) and R250 is 40” x 24” (102x61cm).
• Choose between Casters and Stationary Feet for the desk’s base. The casters provide mobility and can be locked for stability. Perfect for easy integration into dynamic classroom environments. Stationary feet provide a stable base for the desk. They are the same height as the casters.

In Required Step 2, you will:

• Select a Desk Top Surface. Options include: a standard surface or a magnet-ready surface. The standard surface is available in maple, black, and gray. The magnet-ready surface is black, features a steel underlayment for attaching magnetic accessories, and can also be used as a chalkboard. All surfaces are durable, easy to clean, and are available with a plain edge or a raised edge which keeps items from sliding off which is especially important if the Tilt Option is added. Please Note: The R240 (32" x 24") desk is sold with a raised-edge ONLY. R250 (40" x 24") offers the plain-edge surface in maple or gray ONLY.
• Choose to add Adjustable Tilt if you have chosen a Raised Edge Desk Top Surface. The Tilt option allows for continuous adjustment from 0-50 degrees for ergonomic positioning in sitting and standing. All desks have foot-activated continuous Height Adjustment between 23”-43”. Tool-free, these sit-to-stand height adjustments offer variability in learning position for improved posture and physical activity outcomes. Angle adjustment enables ergonomic and visual access to materials and devices. The standard wide, deep frame accommodates most wheelchairs and power chairs including all Rifton Activity Chairs.
• Have the opportunity to add accessories if you have chosen a Raised Edge Desk Top Surface. The Device Mount Adapter allows securing communication devices on raised edge desks. The simple Slide-On Ledge pairs well with the tilt-top feature. It helps prevent objects from sliding off the desk when tilted.

Ultimately, Rifton's new Adaptive Desk stands out as a truly innovative and essential tool for fostering inclusive learning environments. By offering unparalleled adjustability and thoughtful design features, this desk empowers educators to meet the diverse needs of their students, promoting both physical well-being and enhanced educational outcomes.
