When you leave, please push your chairs back under the table.


Hi



[This is the third time I am posting this question -- and for posting questions tonight, I have opened all three browsers on my desktop, i.e., Internet Explorer, Mozilla firefox and Google Chrome. I have done it because after every question "NETWORK ERROR" pops up. To be honest, it's very frustrating.



Please tell me which sentence is more natural.



[Teacher to students]



When you leave, please push your chairs back into the table.

When you leave, please push your chairs back under the table.



Thanks,



Tom
