Round folding tables

It seems that the table, as the main piece of furniture, has always existed. Of course, not the same as today's multifunctional models developed by manufacturers, but the subject on which food was put and served as an association for many households, appeared in ancient antiquity.

Today there are more than enough options to choose a stylish and comfortable table. Fashion is changing, as are trends in the interior, and this forces furniture designers to improve and come up with models that can combine not only the option of taking food.

Dining table, writing, changing, coffee, rectangular, square and round shape - the opportunity to arrange your life a great many.Let's look at a very popular model - a round folding table.

A table standing on one leg or on several, of different colors and possibilities, small folding or folding - ideal for both tea and friendly gatherings. Its main advantage is the form - disposing, providing psychological comfort, without sharp corners. Round shape has gained popularity since the days of King Arthur, when rectangular tables were set one after another in the shape of a circle to create an effect of equality.

A round-shaped table is not uncommon in many families, whose members often meet during feasts or do homework with the kids in the evenings, and at the weekend play board games with him. What do we gain by choosing a round product? First of all, they are roomy, multifunctional and practical.

In order to more intelligently and functionally use the area of ​​the room, it is necessary to choose a folding table or a table-transfrmer. Consider each separately.

The classic version, used in the Soviet years, is a sliding model. The round table is moved apart into two halves, and the central part is set in the middle, with the result that the table increases in size and takes on an oval shape.

Changing the countertop can be presented in various ways:

• when expanding, the halves of the product can “go out” from one another;
• the edges of the table are folded into several fragments and moved down;
• when the table is moved apart, the edges of the tabletop appear in the form of petals, as a result of which the product area becomes larger at times.

In a small apartment, folding models are popular: before using them in full size, they occupy a very modest place and fit perfectly into the interior of a small “Khrushchev”. This, for example, famous book tableswhich are fixed in the unfolded form thanks to mobile sidewalls. True, it is not always convenient, but it is functional.Moreover, you can not lay out both halves at once, but only one - it will increase the diameter of the table, but it will not take up much space. Then the table simply folds in half and again becomes almost "invisible."

Models with swivel top should be rotated almost 90 degrees to appear "in all its glory." Moreover, many models are adjustable in height, which is very convenient to use.

Table transformer is the perfect option. Its design consists of three components: a tabletop, on which you can place various objects, a leg and a side-piece, called a sub-base. Sometimes, such models visually simply resemble a bedside table, which, thanks to simple manipulations, turns into a full-fledged model that can “receive” a considerable number of guests.

Folding models of transformers are attached to the wall, and the tabletop, if necessary, reclines and fixed using sidewalls. Tables-beds are the know-how of modern manufacturers: the bed itself rises vertically and hides in a niche, and instead of it there is space for work.This table is the perfect solution for a small apartment.
