Table selection rules

The variety of tables is so large that it is sometimes difficult to make a choice. To do this, you need to know which model you are going to purchase.

There are several of the most significant criteria:

• types of tables
• base materials and countertops,
• sizes,
• the form.

In order well to imagine all the options for the upcoming purchase, we will try to sort out this issue in more detail and develop our own rules for choosing tables.

There are familiar tables for the intended purpose and quite unusual. Some of them are placed only in the house, others - only in offices, and others - in places of rest. Based on what the table is for and the following types of it are distinguished:

• Bar - tall and narrow with special chairs, can be on the legs or be a cabinet with drawers.
• Billiard or table tennis - This is a specific furniture that requires a separate room. However, in some homes and it is present.
• Magazine. From the name it is clear that on such a table are kept newspapers, magazines, books, medium-sized items. As a rule, it is small and necessarily low so that, sitting in a recliner or on the couch, you can easily take the necessary object from the table.
• Interactive option appeared recently. It is a combination of a work surface and a computer. Now many people work at home, and such a table is an excellent means of saving space. This is an expensive sensor device that allows you to solve a large number of office and training tasks. The work of a virtual laboratory and a complex accounting program, a geographical map and a drawing board, electrical diagrams and language learning are just a small list of what such an unusual table can do.

• Computer the table has become a vital necessity in many homes. Not everyone gets special furniture for office equipment, but the one who did it can conveniently install not only a computer, but also a printer, speakers, and other equipment.Many of these designs come with bookshelves and drawers. In addition, there is a special sliding table top for the keyboard.
• Coffee sometimes called a coffee table, but in general it is a small tray with legs for the very desired "coffee in bed."
• Kitchenware This product is called a worktop for cooking, as well as a dining table located in the kitchen (and not in the dining room). This furniture has special requirements, since it is used most of all by all family members.
• Lomberny designed for the ombre card game. Now it is used for preference.

• Dining - This is a table standing in a large kitchen or dining room, living room, hall. This is a gathering place for a large family or guests.
• Writing - There are many homes. For children it serves as a school desk, for adults - as an office or computer desk.
• Attachment the table performs an additional function to the kitchen, dining or writing piece of furniture. Depending on the purpose, it is performed in different designs and configurations.
• Serving The table is a withdrawable mobile auxiliary tray with cabinets or drawers for cutlery and dishes. A distinctive feature are the legs on wheels.
• Table for meetings - This is a single-tier office option for a convenient location of the legs and with a variety of table tops.

• Stand under the TV must have a stable and reliable tabletop. Due to the fact that modern televisions are a technical complex, coasters are often chosen with shelves.
• Telephone The table is gradually becoming a thing of the past with fixed phones. However, in the homes of the older generation, such an attribute has been preserved and is a place to install a device, a phone book and a notebook with a pen.
• Dressing called a table for cosmetic accessories. It can be located in the bedroom or in the bathroom. It is made with open or closed shelves, pull-out drawers or with free space under the table top. If he is standing in the room, then it assumes the presence of a mirror. Often it is a pierum or trellis, combined with a table. For a bathroom, such a thing is too bulky, so there is more often use a wall mirror.

• Table under the sink makes the bathroom and toilet room more civilized, in the cabinet there are pipes, a bucket for washing floors, detergents.Depending on the size of this type of furniture, it only frames the sink, or you can place cleaners on it.

Such furniture also differs in design features. Tables are monolithic or transformers. In this case, under the solidity mean the unity of the tabletop and support, or the solidity of the tabletop itself. Transformers are called sliding and folding options.

• Monolithic as a whole. This can be a coffee or coffee table, bar, TV stand. You can imagine dining furniture in this style, but how comfortable it will be to sit at such a table depends only on its design. Still, more often they perform a decorative function. The monolithic structure is molded from a liquid material: plastic, glass, metal.
• Products with monolithic table top make a single-tier or with a basement. If the tabletop is opaque, the underframe serves as a storage place. If transparent - a form of decor. Monolithic tabletop - the most frequent version of the kitchen, dining, office, writing, coffee, computer tables. Pedestals for various purposes, too, do with a monolithic tabletop.This is a safety issue when installing a home theater or other heavy equipment.

• Sliding model allows using a collapsible mechanism to turn a small table into a large one. Manufacturers offer a lot of models of such transformers. For example, not only the table surface is moved apart, but the legs are transformed, due to which the low coffee table turns into a full-fledged dining room. The simplest options are associated with the extension of the tabletop and the insertion of an additional section. The most complex and beautiful examples can push the round table into a large number of segments and insert an extra circle into the center.
• Folding the design is also represented by several models. Parts of the tabletop are connected with the help of loops, due to which the table is partially or fully folded. An example would be a suspended cantilever version that is attached to a wall. Successful model for small premises.

Another example is a table-book. Moreover, the modern versions of such furniture are furnished with bedside tables or drawers. This furniture is also a dining, serving, toilet, side table.The design of "butterfly" has several modifications. The first is that when you extend the tabletop, the underframe unfolds like butterfly wings and rises. The second - the halves of the tabletop are laid out using a looped mechanism and rotated 90 degrees, due to which the tabletop becomes more stable.

• Model on one leg It can be a dining or kitchen option, a decorative coffee or toilet, a ottoman or a meeting table. Depending on the material and purpose of the product, as well as the size of the table tops here can fit from two to six people. The table top is likely to be round, oval or triangular.
• Model on two supports - These are not two legs, but two vertical panels, tightly standing on the floor. An example would be an office desk. Sitting here is only convenient on the sides. With the end sides interfere with the support rack.
• Design on three legs - This is a vivid example of a table in modern style. The worktop is unlikely to be big.But the round option for four may well rely on three pillars. In this case, the legs are perpendicular to the floor. Small tables may have supports that extend from the center of the base at an angle.

• Classic option - tabletop on four supports. The material of the whole structure may be the same or different.
• Folding table-book has 6 poles: 4 legs and 2 panels. This gives the long product extra stability.
• Original tables may have non-standard solid foundation.
• There are products in general without legs - These are suspended toilet pedestals or computer, written consoles that are attached to the wall.

The choice of material depends on the operating conditions, design decisions, personal preferences. In some cases, the entire structure is made from the same material, in others it is combined. For the manufacture of tables of various designs as the main and decorative materials are used:

• Solid wood. Such furniture is a classic. Products made in the middle of the 20th century are still in use, because natural wood is durable, eco-friendly, it looks beautiful and can fit many interiors.
• Tree in the form of stumps, snags, branches can be used as a base, framing table top and decor.
• Creeper rattan - a beautiful solution for a place of rest. Manufacturers offer a large selection of wicker rattan furniture. In addition, now they make artificial rattan furniture.

• Chipboard - inexpensive, but short-lived material that does not take root well in wet areas.
• Chipboard - it is a chipboard with a protective film of paper and melamine resin. More durable, suitable for simple furniture without frills.
• MDF Not only a stronger plate, but also has the most interesting decor in the form of various coatings that will protect the MDF from moisture and temperature changes. Color laminate will make such furniture bright and beautiful.
• Strained glass - ecological cleanliness and hypoallergenicity, reliability and safety. Transparent glass visually increases the space, and therefore suitable for small spaces. Colored lacobel will make glass furniture quite unusual.

• Chrome steel and other types of metal can be used as a frame or as the main material of a decorative or serving table.
• Plastic furniture, including from plexiglass, - a find not only for giving, but also at home. A variety of design ideas made them convenient for families with young children, as the most secure. They are lightweight, easy to care for. But, unfortunately, they quickly scratch and lose their beauty.
• A rock used not only for countertops, but also as a basis. Use natural stone, including marble, as well as artificial. Moreover, it turned out that countertops are more reliable from artificial stone, since they are not as fragile as compared to natural ones. In the manufacture of such tables you need to take into account their weight, carefully calculate the possibilities of support and floor covering. From the usual cobblestone and glass you can make a very beautiful decorative table, where the stone will act as a support.

• Noble deep color wenge furniture acquires from a tropical tree of the same name. This wood is valuable and rare. Buy online such a product is not easy (do not be confused with wenge laminated chipboard).
• Ecoskin and Arpatek (artificial leather), pig and calfskin (inexpensive natural species), the highest category of leather of cattle - materials that are used to decorate the frame of a desk or the legs of other types of such furniture.
• Table top, lined with ceramic tiles- is a spectacular decor. The tile can be an imitation of a stone or wood, or it can be a mosaic pattern. And if such a mosaic on the tabletop coincides with the working surface of the kitchen "apron", then we can talk about the furniture ensemble.

It is difficult to list all the options: designers are inventive and creative people. Yes, and the furniture industry does not stand still. Therefore, an increasing number of materials is used for the manufacture of various pieces of furniture, including tables.

The choice of form of purchase depends on the size and shape of the room. For example, a round table standing in the center is suitable for a square dining room. It is better to place a rectangular or oval dining piece of furniture in a rectangular living room. For small rooms, you can choose unusual forms.

• Square or rectangular the table saves space as it can be placed along the wall. Such furniture, most often, has 4 legs or a decorative support.
• Triangular products do, as a rule, with two rounded corners. The third corner of the table can be attached to a large table, nightstand, wall, bed.This is an additional work surface. Since the decorative role here is not high, the products have three standard legs.
• But round tables They represent the widest palette of tabletops, supports, number of legs, material, color, decor. Such furniture needs space, and then it will fully decorate the house. In addition, such models are safe due to the lack of angles.

• Oval countertops are associated with luxury, wealth, space. They took over the function of saving space and safe use.
• Figured There may be models for the computer, desks, decorative. These are polygons, stars, trapeziums, rounded polygons. For example, a coffee table or a dining table, a drop that many manufacturers offer. Or L-shaped, U-shaped computer desk.
• Original There can be not only coffee tables, but also working desks. They may not be like anything. Made in a single copy of the design project. That and valuable.

This is one of the most important parameters. When choosing a dining, kitchen, office table, it is important comfortable accommodation for each person sitting.According to GOST standards, each person should have at least 50 cm, and preferably 60 to 80 cm around the perimeter of the tabletop, the chairs should not touch each other. The distance to the wall varies in the range of 70 cm and more. The width of the product, behind which people sit opposite each other, ranges from 85 to 105 cm.

Round dining tables are determined by the following dimensions: the minimum diameter for 6 people is 110 cm. But with a larger diameter, it will be more comfortable to sit. Decorative tables of this shape can have a size of 15 cm (for example, for a desk lamp or coffee).

Improperly selected desk for the child will affect his health. In order not to buy furniture for growth, it is better to look for a desk and a chair with height adjustment.

The standard width of the tabletop should be 60-80 cm, and the length should be from 100 cm. If the distance from the tabletop to the child's knees is 10-15 cm, and the legs are bent at a right angle and stand with the entire foot on the floor, the desk is right.

The bar counter, which has a standard size for home use, is a 120 to 55 cm tabletop, located on legs or a pedestal of 105 cm. But these are conditional standards, they can be different.

The parameters of a computer desk depend on the computer itself: does it have a system unit or is it a candy bar, a laptop; will they work with documents at this table, do they need a place for books and notebooks, other equipment. If you have a stationary monitor, the depth of the tabletop should be 80 cm, and for a laptop - 60 cm, so you can ensure your eyes work safely. In order to save space, it is advantageous to purchase an angular multifunctional model. The size of the walls can be from 110 to 150 cm. The main thing is that there is enough space for free placement of the chair and the user on it.

The size of the coffee table is determined by the convenience of its use. According to the standards, such a table is called a product not higher than 0.5 m, but today these parameters are violated: you can buy a model with a height of both 15 cm and 65 cm. Since such a piece of furniture often plays a decorative role, there is no reason to talk about the size of the tabletop . It generally may not have a flat surface.Or be the original configuration.

The parameters of the dressing table are determined by its location. The main indicator for a table in the bedroom - the height. In order for a woman to freely place her legs under the table top, it is recommended to choose a product with a height of 80 cm. For a bathroom, such furniture is atypical, performs an auxiliary function and can be of any size.

But the dimensions of the interactive table are determined quite differently. By and large, this is a computer, and manufacturers indicate the size of the screen diagonally in inches and centimeters: 27 "(68 cm), 32" (81 cm) and others. At the same time, as for any computer, purely technical characteristics are important here, which allow us to determine the power of the machine.

The choice of color should be determined primarily by the purpose of the table. This is not only an aesthetic question, but also a psychological one. Color can elevate mood or suppress, relax eyes or strain it. Therefore, for each type of furniture you need to find your own color options.

For the workplace of a child or an adult, you need to choose the calm colors of the table top, which will help you focus on solving the problem.The easiest option is white. But for a child he is impractical. Therefore, you can choose the colors "under the tree", pale green, lime. Soft blue color will calm and make you concentrate.

The kitchen is the gathering place of all family members, and the table is the place of unity. To make it so in reality, you can choose kitchen furniture of bright sunny colors: yellow, orange, lemon, bright blue or light green. But it should not be the kitchen "canary". Total should be in moderation. Ivory color countertop - olive or emerald chairs.

Also, the color of the table can be in harmony not with chairs, but with any element of decor: wall panels, curtains, blinds, color of the cabinets. Another option - the tabletop as the only bright spot of the kitchen, its accent. To increase the visual space of a small kitchen using transparent furniture made of glass and plastic.

Dining table in the dining room, lounge, living room, standing in the center of a large room, clearly attracts attention. If the interior allows, you can choose a product in black or wenge. It will decorate the room of classic style. And in combination with white color will add elegance.

All shades of blue relax and retard the psyche, calming the appetite. Shades of yellow, orange, lemon, peach, cherry increase the desire to eat. The color of lettuce and fresh herbs remind you that it is time to eat.

Any decorative tables (coffee, coffee, dressing) can be completely different colors or their combinations. If he is constantly in the room, then he must be in harmony with him. If it is portable, it is better to choose a neutral color for it: black, white, transparent.

Thanks to modern technology, it is possible to choose any color for an existing interior, if not in a store, then through the Internet. It will not always coincide with the desired material, but it's worth a try.

Often, buying furniture, they single out one criterion - convenience, without thinking about how it will be combined with other objects and room design. Even if the kitchen, hall, study, bedroom were made out without the help of a designer, intuitively, you should still try to determine the style of the room in order to carefully select the table and not earn the title of a person without taste.

Let's try to figure out what distinguishes the furniture of a particular style.

• Avant-garde - is the brightness, contrast, lack of standards in size, lines, materials and colors. Mix - a favorite state of the avant-garde.
• Empire - This is the style of connoisseurs of special beauty. He needs space. Material - valuable wood. Decoration with carvings and gilding.

• Baroque and Rococo they are even called together for some similarity for non-professionals. The fanciful elegance of the legs, a wooden array of valuable species. But at the same time lightness and playfulness at the expense of color, gilding, carving, ornament.
• East style impossible without the use of bright colors. Moroccan mosaic tiles on the tabletop may have the most unexpected colors. Do not think that in the East they eat only at low tables, but the classic version is the big but low floor table for a large number of dishes.After all, the inhabitants of Asian countries are very hospitable people.
• Classic called standard, ordinary furniture. But this is a wrong concept in terms of studying stylistics. The classic style is smooth symmetrical shapes: carved legs, oval table top. Colors may vary: white, blue, gold; green, white, gold; combinations without gold. But for standard furniture brown is used in all shades. This furniture needs space, free placement.

• Constructivism - it is a functional convenience based on rationalism and logic. There will be no decorative elements. The table is 4 legs and the usual table top is rectangular or square in shape.
• Loft - unpolished beauty. Such furniture can look very simple and at the same time elegant. A table top made of thick tempered glass, lying on four untreated wooden bars. Fully wooden rectangular table, treated with wood stain, covered with a narrow diagonal tablecloth - bench in a tartan cell. LoftIndustry - modification of the loft, based on the use of various metals: pipes as a support for the tabletop, forged legs can be combined with glass or wooden solid.
• Minimalist interior - This is a set of necessary items.Lunch group of simple forms, small bends are allowed. Rather, one or four legs of wood, metal, MDF, chipboard, plastic. Desk without underbody or with simple drawers. Calm colors are used in the design.

• Modern - These are tables of the most diverse forms, and the use of unexpected combinations of materials. Asymmetric countertop standing on a stone, bronze or wooden leg. But modernity is smoothness and flexibility, bright accents in the design of the room.
• Country music - rural spiritual style. The wooden table, most likely, will be covered with a plain tablecloth. Natural colors, simplicity and comfort.
• Pop Art allows you to combine a variety of colors, shapes and models. This style uses white as its main color, but other bright accents should be present in bright spots. Around an orange plastic table of a round form there can be multi-colored chairs of different design. The main element of the decor of the table will be a large white flower vase. You should not use this style where a calm atmosphere is expected to rest.
• Provence akin to country music. But if, when pronouncing the word "country", a cowboy is seen wearing a hat,plaid shirt and long boots, the "Provence" - is women's care and attentiveness, rustic simplicity and harmony of life. A table in this style is often covered with artificial patina in order to create an image of a village house from the middle of the 20th century. Light furniture can be covered with a cotton tablecloth with crocheted lace or floral embroidery.

• Scandinavian style associated with Vikings, brutal men in horned helmets and braids on their heads. So the tables were originally brutal too: a simple tree without excesses. Now in this style is used and plastic, and metal. But the attitude to simplicity, conciseness, convenience remained.
• Art Deco - It is a mixture of European, Asian, African and Indian motifs. This mixture gave bright colors with pastel shades, a combination of straight and curved lines. Such a table can be with a glass table top lacobel, having an insert from a wooden bar with a bright Asian ornament.
• Kitsch - this is the privilege of extravagant people. The combination of the incompatible, the negation of the rules - and a bright blue table appeared in the brown kitchen. This style will justify any design decision.But many will agree that it is bad taste.
• Techno: coffee table with a 3d - "look to infinity" effect. The Internet is filled with videos about how to make such a table. An interactive table, by the way, will not necessarily be decorated in this style. In general, techno loves metal tubes, glass, a stand with shelves, drawers, ladders. Favorite colors - gray, khaki, burgundy, metallic silver.

• Hi – Tec - This is the use of chrome steel, glass, possibly plastic. This table will be just beautiful. But if the whole room is decorated in this style, then guests and hosts will appreciate it. By appointment, it can be almost any table, except, perhaps, for children.
• Japanese as inhabitants of the Far East, but in the East in a classical variant use furniture on low legs. But in catering establishments and offices they recognize standard furniture for Europeans. Japanese style - a natural wood, but also the presence of national motives in the design.

Taking into account that the decor is a set of decoration elements, let's talk about how you can decorate different types of tables, and whether they need decoration. In which cases the issue of decoration arises:

1. need to update thing;
2. you need to bring it in line with the environment;
3. need to decorate to a specific event;
4. need to change the appointment table.

If you carefully examine this issue, it turns out that you can decorate any table, there would be a desire. For this there are the following techniques:

• Using epoxy resin. Such a table is not a shame to put in a solid office, a study at home. A thin layer of resin deposited on a colored base will be an excellent worktop for a kitchen or dining table.
• Widely used furniture lacquer. They cover not only a wooden countertop. Many materials can be decorated as follows: put a reproduction of a painting of the desired size on the countertop and gently varnish it in several layers, waiting for the previous layer to dry completely. In the same way, you can make photos, pieces of cloth.
• Tabletop and (or) legs can cover with drawings. To do this, use acrylic safe paints and special varnishes for countertops.

• Stencil - one of the easiest ways.Stencil blanks can be found on the Internet and carefully prepared for use. Since the stencil can be used for the children's table, then the picture must be selected appropriate. The decorative table can be sprayed (from a can), for the dining table it is better to use acrylic (applied by plugging). For reliability and longer preservation, again, the stencil pattern is covered with polyurethane organic varnish.
• Decoupage - equipment for tidy and patient people. In stores and on the Internet you can buy special napkins for decoupage with various patterns. These drawings are cut with nail scissors, soaked in water and carefully glued to the base. After the paper dries, the drawings are covered with a special lacquer for decoupage.
• Burning out - another way to decor. Depending on which table is being decorated, the tabletop will or will not be varnished after burning. For the coffee table is not necessarily. The dining table needs it, otherwise very soon dirt will accumulate in the grooves.

• One of the most beautiful ways is to create pictures of sand, seashells, pebbles, small items. On top of this picture put tempered flowed. Such a table is an excellent relaxator. And it can stand not only at home, but also be used as an office, for which the staff will say “thank you! ".
• Countertops are becoming more and more popular. covered with slate paint. It is with this paint that school boards are covered, and they are intended for chalk. This circumstance will please a child who is ready to use all surfaces in the house.
• Carved table requires the talent of the author. Not every home artist is capable of such decor, but you can buy such things. Here is the same as with burning: if the table is used as a permanent one, then it is better to fill the surface with epoxy resin. The glossy smooth surface through which the carving will be visible, attention is even more attracted.

• In the Soviet past, it was possible to buy children's wooden tables and chairs in every furniture store. with a picture of Khokhloma. Fortunately, this story is back. And now such beautiful furniture can be purchased at home. Bright, warm, fabulous - it really will be a bright accent of the room.
• Mosaic panel they do it in several ways: they put a real mosaic tile into drawings or use self-adhesive imitation mosaic.
• Ceramic tiles trim large tables, bar counters. Depending on how the tiles are glued, additional coating may be required on top. The tile mounted without gaps will keep hygiene for a long time. If broken ceramics or crumb was used, then on top, perhaps, for hygiene, it is also better to cover it with glass or epoxy.
• Craquelure helps to make things old. The tabletop is covered with paint, and, not waiting for it to dry, is covered with craquelure varnish. After drying the table looks cracked.

• Patina also used for aging. It is natural or artificial. Artificial patinating is done after the tabletop and legs are covered with acrylic paint and allowed to dry. Natural patina is the natural wear of a thing.
• Backlight - unusual, but very beautiful decor option. A tabletop is removed from the table, Christmas-tree lights or LED strips are laid inside, the cord and plug are brought out, and the top is covered with clear or frosted glass.For greater effect, light bulbs can be hidden among small stones, shells, plastic toys from chocolate eggs.

The designer thinks about the modification of the product when he wants to give things a new image, provide new functions, try to change the form, production technology, as well as achieve the aesthetic value of the object.

A vivid example of this understanding of design is a monolithic glass table. With the help of technology change, a completely unexpected form has emerged that attracts the eye to itself.

Parents are afraid to use glass tops in the house where there are small children. The octopus table is a non-standard solution to a problem with the help of a design embodiment. The subject stands securely on the floor, the glass is fixed in the octopus tentacles. Looking at such beauty, the child is unlikely to have a desire to approach a specific table. The change in shape provided the table with a protective function.

City dwellers often only dream of a picnic and fresh grass. Here too, the designers found a solution: a metal construction made of legs and a tabletop, in which real grass grows.Sitting on a wooden bench and breathing in the smell of grass, you can really touch nature at least a little. This table is a real pleasure.

Gathering at the table, you can spend hours talking with friends and relatives. But over time, back, legs and arms get tired. Designers have found an amazing solution - a table with swings. In this case, the table itself can be any. But the lunch group was very interesting.

It is difficult to say how this idea will take root, but the design idea is quite understandable: when working at a computer, the neck, back, legs start to go numb. To help the body, you can mount in the room a platform with river sand, in which a desktop with a computer and an armchair (chair) is installed. With his bare feet, the occupant goes over the sand, thereby massaging the legs and relaxing the nervous system.

A billiard table is a cumbersome thing. Exit found: countertop with a base. When removing the tabletop remains billiards reduced size. Such a multifunctional table will be an excellent solution for those who like to meet guests and play billiards.

Decorative tables make designers look for the most unexpected solutions.Tables aquariums of the most different configurations are created by those who want to decorate our lives. This relaxation will appeal to many. But the authors went further: now you can see the cabinet under the sink-aquarium. Of course, it will be difficult to care for such a thing, but the idea is definitely beautiful.

A simpler and more familiar option is the functional integration of a computer desk with stereo speakers. Stereo speakers allow you to enjoy your favorite music and give great sound when watching movies.

Decorative tables with a 3d effect are also becoming common. For the manufacture of such a table you need a mirror, a glass tabletop and LED bulbs. With proper placement of light bulbs and mirrors create the effect of immersion in infinity.

Since we are talking about a wide variety of tables, we will make a conditional distinction between functional and decorative ones. Not all tables can and should be by all means beautiful. For example, the functional are those for which aesthetic appeal is not the main criterion.

As for the rest, the rules of choice for any tables look like this:

• Need to determine the appointment of the table. The inhabitants of large houses and apartments can afford to have different functional tables: dining, writing, computer, and others. In small apartments these roles can be performed by one table.
• For any table sizes are importantA: before buying you need to carefully measure the distance that the desired thing will take. Do not forget about baseboards and radiators, as well as the proximity of outlets. Decide how many items and what will be on this type of furniture (stationary computer, TV, dishes, aquarium, and so on). Remember how tall people will use this table, will it be comfortable to sit behind it.

• Material, from which the furniture is made: when combining the material, make sure that this is quality work. Examine the cost of a similar product. If there is a suspicion of too low a price, it is possible that poor-quality material is used, or not the one indicated in the documents.
• It is necessary to check with a thorough inspection. strength. If you plan to buy cabinets for TV, then you need to calculate the weight of all the equipment that will stand on such a product.
• Form should be selected depending on the location and other parameters, as discussed above.
• Hygienic - A very important criterion for the kitchen, dining, children's table. For such structures, it is easier to choose a smooth surface that is easy to care for.

• Moisture resistance not only important in the kitchen, but also in the bathroom. If kitchen tables are exposed to moisture due to their constant use, the wooden dressing table in the bathroom will soon become unusable due to high humidity in the room itself.
• Internal table volume with drawers, shelves, tiers. This is important for both the written and the serving table. In order not to acquire additional cabinets and shelves later, it is better to look for a model of sufficient capacity.
• Mobility very important for small spaces. It is achieved through the transformation of the table or the possibility of using wheels. Serving table, billiard, ombre, side, telephone, toilet, coffee and even dining can be equipped with wheels for ease of use and moving around the house.

• Stylistic and color matching the rest of the furniture. If the table is stationary, then this rule is easier to perform. If he is mobile, then you need to find a model that is appropriate when moving from room to room. The white and black version of the furniture will be a win-win. Transparent will fit into any style.
• Visual appeal - this is a good mood and desire to use the thing. If the notion of “soul does not lie” works, then it is worth looking for more.
• Availability of additional functions. It is unlikely that there will be such furniture in the minimalist style, but in a table with a large number of drawers it can also be hidden. At the kitchen table can be a sliding board for working with dough. At the office desk - mini-fridge.

• Qualitative thing will be in finished form. Either it will be provided with detailed assembly instructions (for example, TV stand).
• If possible, buy universal table, which will help out in many situations. The portable version is suitable for a laptop and work with documents. Behind him you can eat and read newspapers. It can be taken on the road or in the hospital.
• Not every good thing is dear. Fortunately, the time "sale" has not been canceled. Exactly thanks to promotions and discounts you can buy beautiful quality things cheap.

If we talk about beautiful products, the main purpose of the decorative table is aesthetic beauty. It is for this criterion that such a purchase is often made. The rest is important location, destination. Very often, such a subject is a highlight of the interior, the one that is the main focus of design.

We will only list other criteria, since they were discussed above: mobility, size of the room and the table itself, presence or absence of wheels, material, compliance with the overall style.

Consider this question from the perspective of the material used.

For any natural material (wood, glass, stone) environmental friendliness, durability, natural colors, and reliability will be an important advantage. But at the same time - the high price.

For Chipboard, chipboardThe plastic question of price retreats, but the question of quality arises. Chipboard does not like water, plastic - quite fragile.

MDF - durable material, moisture resistant with a large variety of colors, but is much more expensive chipboard.

Metal - it is strength, reliability, style, and, at the same time, a lot of weight, special care.

The Italians are the trendsetters in the production of tables of various shapes and designs. In Russia, tables from Italy are deservedly popular.
