Internal departments of an accessory can be used as places for storage of various kinds of objects. This furniture accessory is suitable for spacious rooms and rooms of modest size.

Folded it's compact, if necessary, you can increase the surface area, accommodate all guests and households. This is the most suitable option to save space.Glass surfaces look elegant and have a wide range. They bring lightness and airiness to space, being a decoration of any interior. Due to the massive worktop, such products are heavy, therefore they are stable and do not slide on the surface of the floor covering.

If there are children in the house, you need to make sure that fittings can not harm them. The minus of the material is a cold surface and the need for careful operation so as not to scratch the surface. There is another nuance: loud noises when the dishes touch the table top. To get rid of them, you have to use napkins.

For the intended purpose, glass folding tables can be:
