Manufacturing features
Design products are characterized by a number of features that should be familiarized with in advance.

- It is rare to find the mass production of designer furniture. Usually the maximum number of models is only a few copies. Otherwise, pieces of furniture are considered exclusive at all, because they are created in a single copy. It is possible that if you like someone's original table, it will be difficult for you to find exactly the same model.
- Designer tables are expensive. Often when they are created using the latest technology and handmade. Often the product is created from expensive materials. The amount also includes the time that the master spent on work, and the brand - the name of the manufacturer. It is almost impossible to buy cheap products from famous designers.
- In case of breakage, exclusive models can be difficult to repair. While it is always possible to find or create spare parts for tables purchased in a store, it is not always possible to recreate their original appearance in designer products.
- It is often necessary to acquire the necessary equipment for the care of designer products. Some materials are susceptible to chemical compositions, need special cleaning agents, others require special brushes to clean small parts.
- Sometimes designers make tables for a finished project that you can develop yourself, but some of them only carry out an order with an approximate description of the customer’s desires, relying on their own ideas.

The most popular types of raw materials are oak, maple, beech, alder, ash.
- Glass very popular for making small coffee tables. To make the product truly durable, tempered glass is used, which is dense. The surface of the table can be both opaque and transparent, sometimes frosted drawings and patterns are created on the transparent tabletop.

- Metal - an excellent material for the manufacture of the legs of the dining and coffee tables, as well as the underframes. Metal parts have high strength and have a sufficiently long service life. They are often covered with a special compound for a more presentable look.Despite the fact that metal is a rather complicated material for creating small parts, designers manage to make elegant compositions from it.
- Plastic It is often used to create both overall and small-sized items. Plastic structures are light enough, they are well resistant to moisture and high temperatures. This material is presented in the richest range of shades.
- Countertops can be made of wood board or even fine plywood. Such materials may resemble the appearance of natural wood, but cost much cheaper.
