If desired, such a surface can oshkurit, varnish or paint in any color. The product can be completely wooden, and can have only some elements of natural material, which is also quite practical.

If, for example, the frame of the table and the bottom layer of the tabletop are made of chipboard and the upper part of the tabletop is made of wood, then this combination makes the furniture less expensive, but at the same time preserves its functional qualities.

You can keep magazines or a warm blanket in the basket of a metal table, and you can leave it blank to emphasize the lightness of the interior. These tables are easy to move around the apartment.
• Some side tables sold immediately bundled at 2 or 3.For example, “Lakk”, “Svalst”, “Upperlig”, “Niboda”, “Rissna”, “Vitsche”. They move and put on one another. If necessary, they can be used as two separate pieces of furniture.

In the “Brimnes” model there are two drawers for women's trifles with rising lids, on which mirrors are installed on the inside. The Malm model has the simplest U-shaped design with one big retractable drawer.

The Ikea folding table models deserve special attention:

• Transformer - folding table or as it is called “book” (“Norden”). The table top is divided into three parts: the middle part is the narrowest and the two floors descend from two sides. Under the middle part of the worktop are six drawers for small kitchen utensils. When folded, it resembles a cabinet.
• With folding floors ("Ingatorp", "Mokkelby", Ikea PS 2012, "Modus", "Gamlebi"). Such models also have tabletops, divided by special fasteners into three parts, two of which go down.The difference of this type of furniture from the transformer is that when the floors are lowered it can be used as a complete table. Floors only increase the useful area of ​​his countertops.

• Folding wall fasteners ("Norbu", "Norberg"). This model is a tabletop attached to the wall, which can be folded during abduction towards a special holder. These tables are ideal for small spaces, where every centimeter of area is counted.
• Sliding ("Byurst", "Ingorp", "Sturnes", "Leksvik", "Glivarp", "Vangsta"). It is a structure in which the surface area is increased due to the extension of an additional folding board stored under the table top.
• Retractable ("Vitsche", "Niboda", "Risna", "Luck", "Yupperlig"). Such models are sold at once in two or three. They have a different size and are put as a "matryoshka" one into another, and if necessary, the smaller table can always be easily pushed out from under the larger one.

Most of the models from Ikea as the base have a white or black version. Solid models most often have the natural color of untreated wood (from light to darker shades).Glass tables have transparent tabletops and metal legs.

It is also possible a two-tone version of the furniture: a tabletop in the color of light wood, the legs are wenge (“Skogsta”) or white (“Gamlebi”, Ikea PS 2012, “Lerhamn”), or black (“Gamlared”, “Kullaberg”). Multi-colored models in Ikea are quite rare, preference is still given to natural shades of nature. Sometimes in the finish you can meet red, green, pink colors.

First you need to decide for which room the table is needed and what functional load it will carry.

This is the most responsible choice, because the furniture for eating should be comfortable for all family members, durable and beautiful.

Choosing furniture for the dining area, you must build on:

• The general stylistic concept of kitchen space (color and texture of kitchen fronts, apron, textile decoration);
• The durability of the coating tabletop, resistance to mechanical and thermal effects;
• The area that is allocated for the placement of the table. The width of the table top is 80–100 cm, since it allows you to set the table without any problems.To this distance will have to add another 70 cm on each side (as much space is needed to accommodate one person);
• The number of family members who will simultaneously be at the table. If you need a table for two, then in order not to disturb mutual understanding in the family, you should not get too wide and bulky models;
• Place it. Thus, a model with a round tabletop will not be suitable for the window seat placement. In this case, it is better to choose a rectangular or square model. It can be put both to the window and to the wall.

The table for the main room in the house is selected based on the availability of free space in the sofa area and the style of the room. If there is enough space, it is better to choose the option with a spacious coffee table, which can also become an additional place to store the necessary trifles - remote controls, magazines, chargers, books, etc.

In the living room you can also place the so-called console table,which can be put against the wall or against the back of the sofa. It can accommodate paintings, souvenirs, a desk lamp or a small TV. In the underframe of the console, you can store all sorts of stuff, putting them in wicker baskets.

Boudoir table - a necessary thing in the interior of the female bedroom. Choosing it, you should proceed from the availability of free space and the overall style of the bedroom. The dressing table should be as roomy as possible so that it can accommodate numerous jars and tubes with cosmetics and jewelry.

Choosing a desktop, also proceed from the availability of free space. For example, for a small room, a corner table would be a good option. You can also try to put a direct, but not wide, written or computer desk next to the window. It will turn out the window version of the workplace. Then on the windowsill you can place the necessary accessories for work, saving on the purchase of additional modules for storage.

If it is necessary for the workplace to be utterly hidden from view, then it is better to pay attention to the bureau, which is a kind of cabinet with doors behind which shelves and the workplace itself are located. The cabinet is made in such a way that it is possible to place a monitor in it, all the wires are hidden in a separate compartment, but they are easily accessible. The shelves are removable. Their height can be adjusted to your liking.

Desktop "Bekant" on two supports is an excellent option for the organization of the workplace in the office.

Extendable table "Sturnes", complemented by soft chairs "Henriksdal", occupies a central place in the interior of the living room. The rest of the space complements it.Due to the presence of a sliding mechanism at such a table can accommodate even the largest family.

The Gemlaby model with folding floors looks light and weightless and does not completely clutter the space of the dining area. If you fold it, the place will be even more.

The pink serving table will become a lifesaver if you need to serve tea or coffee to suddenly visiting guests. Due to the folding mechanism, it does not take up much space, it can be easily hidden in a pantry or behind a sofa.

An upholstered table in the form of a chest “Hall” with a wicker decor from the array of the action makes the interior unique. In this chest will easily accommodate several large blankets, which are so nice to wrap in cold winter evenings.
