Then not a single apartment could do without a book table.The essence of the mechanism was in folding tops, which were disassembled mounted on secret legs. Inside was a storage system. In our time, such models also exist, but more modernized.

For the living room are available various modifications of tables, drawers, depending on the destination. Basically, they are needed for a large table with a table top, but the functionality for a small apartment is also important.

Instead of curbstones under the TV or "walls" you can buy a table-dresser, which will serve not only as a stand for appliances, but also as storage space, as well as an additional table surface. Some models are equipped with a TV platform. This allows you to hide it when it is not required.

An interesting model is the usual chest with six drawers. The top drawers hide the entire table mechanism with a large-sized tabletop. When parsing the top boxes are moved apart to the side with side panels. Four lower drawers serve as a drawer for storing laundry.

The main disadvantage of it is that it will not be very comfortable for guests to sit, as there is no space under the table for the legs.

Models with a swivel tabletop mechanism are very popular. To spread out such a chest of drawers, it is necessary to fold back part of the tabletop and turn it.

In modern models are increasingly using long roll-out tables, which are hidden under the same table top with a chest of drawers. Such designs are used in the tables for the kitchen and for the office.

The main difference between the table in the living room will be its appearance. It should be suitable for the style of the room. You can use a variety of decorative inserts, giving the subject an unusual and interesting look.

Nowadays, there are also tables, dressers, beds that are folding. This is a good idea for both the bedroom and the living room, when you need an extra bed for friends who often stay overnight.

For cabinet

The most ancient table-dresser is a desk. After all, any table that includes a certain number of sliding shelves can already be considered a chest of drawers.

  • The traditional model of the desk. The table top is mounted on two cabinets like the letter "P". On each side there are boxes for storing stationery, and in the middle free space for legs. A more compact model can be with a cabinet on one side.
  • Secretaire. This is an old version of the writing has become. Since it is inconvenient to sit at the dresser, a folding part was created, which together with the dresser made it possible not only to store the necessary things, but also to use it as a full-fledged workplace. This was achieved through the multi-level arrangement of the boxes. The lower boxes are deeper, and the upper ones are narrower.
  • Another type of desk is transformer. They allow you to place the table in the corner or along the wall. As a rule, the folding part is located directly above the base with shelves and has wheels for moving the table top itself.

For transformers can be attributed, and folding tables.They are mounted on the wall and, if necessary, are laid out to form a working area.

In the office, except for writing, you need a computer desk. It is characterized by the presence of a box for the unit and a sliding part for the keyboard. When working with the keyboard elbows are often left without support. To avoid this, a curved tabletop in one direction or another.

For the nursery

For children's desks, chest of drawers are primarily changing tables, connected with drawers for storing clothes and children's accessories.

Currently, this model is very popular among mothers for the following reasons:

  • the ability to dress the baby using a large space.

When choosing a changing table, you should pay attention to the reliability of the design and the correct form.

Most often, the set comes with a special soft mattress made of waterproof fabric, which helps mothers in case of “surprises” of a baby.If suddenly there is no such item, then it is better to purchase it separately.

  • Solid wood - This is the most environmentally friendly and reliable option. The tree has noise-reducing properties. But it costs more than its counterparts. There are various options for design and colors of products, but the most popular at the moment is ivory. By cons can be attributed to the "capriciousness" of wood to various kinds of differences;
  • Chipboard or MDF. These are the most common options, as they are inexpensive, and the range is very wide. In addition, chipboard furniture has a higher moisture resistance than solid wood;
  • Metal. Such designs are reliable, durable, moisture and heat resistant, but the metal is dangerous for kids. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully choose a quality model without sharp corners.In the future, it is better to place the object away from the child’s places of residence so that he does not accidentally knock. Colors may vary;
  • Plastic. The price of the material is quite low, the models are different and available to consumers. The only thing, do not forget that you can not install plastic products near heating devices, since plastic begins to emit substances harmful to human health.

For kitchen

In the kitchen, mostly used models with a sliding or swivel mechanism. If you need a small dining area for two people, then it is quite possible to do with a pull-out shelf from the floor bollard.

If you need a large dining surface, it is better to consider tables with an exit mechanism. Their essence lies in the fact that the table itself is located under the same tabletop with the cabinet, and when a table on wheels is required, it moves as if by scissors.

As an option, you can use a folding table-dresser. It looks like one of the hanging curbstones in the headset. But in fact, it quickly turns into a full-fledged dining table with a storage system.
