Models
Mostly, all models of coffee tables with wheels differ in the material from which they are made. Consider the features and characteristics of each instance.
Wood
Products from the massif of a tree possess fine appearance. They look rich and cozy. With the help of this item you can enrich the interior and make it really warm and hospitable.
In the production of modern furniture are used such strong and sturdy breeds, as oak, hevea, alder, rattan, wenge, pine, birch, maple, beech, cherry, walnut and mahogany. Such raw materials boast durability and long service life. Moreover, the indisputable advantage of wooden structures is that they are environmentally friendly, which not all materials today possess.
Significant disadvantages of such furniture is not observed, but it is not recommended to be placed in rooms with high humidity, as this can lead to damage to the tree.
Also, many consumers consider it a disadvantage that solid-wood coffee tables require special care. The surface of such furniture should be coated with special protective equipment. This is necessary so that the material retains its beautiful appearance as long as possible and remains durable.
Furniture made of solid wood has a high price. Products from pine or birch are considered the most affordable, as these breeds do not belong to the category of valuable and are very common in our country.
MDF, chipboard
Tables of this raw material are much cheaper than wooden.They are durable and not subject to mechanical damage. However, most often such furniture looks quite simple and patterned. Choosing a truly unique and memorable version of MDF or chipboard is not so easy.
The main disadvantage of laminated chipboard is that it contains toxic formaldehyde resins. They have a depressant effect on the human body. In order not to endanger themselves and not to undermine their health, experts recommend picking up tables from eco-friendly chipboard class "E-1" or veneered material.
Plastic
Plastic coffee tables are rightfully recognized as the most affordable in terms of price. This material is not subject to rotting or warping when used carefully. The great popularity of plastic furniture is due to the fact that it does not require special care and is presented in a variety of color solutions.
However, similar products have a number of disadvantages:
- Plastic is not a very reliable and tough material, so it is easily scratched, and can be broken at strong impact;
- plastic coffee tables should not be placed under direct solarrays or near heating systems. This can lead to deformation of the surface of the furniture and loss of brightness of color;
- in modern production of plastic products, hazardous and toxic materials are often used, therefore, when purchasing such furniture, it is necessary to become familiar with the quality certificate and make sure that the structure is safe;
- It should be noted that the plastic table will not look organically in all stylistic directions.
Forms and sizes
Coffee tables on wheels can be of various shapes. And we are talking not only about the worktops, but also about the design of the legs and the base. The most popular are rectangular flat designs, but there are also rounded (round and oval) options, as well as wave-shaped products of non-trivial design.
Classic coffee tables are not the highest. Their length is 40-50 cm. Most often there are products with dimensions of 800x800 mm or 800x600 mm. If you have a larger room and can afford the purchase of an impressive model, then you should take a closer look at large structures whose length can reach 1600 mm.
Selecting the size of the coffee table, you must rely on a simple and always current rule: small furniture should be placed in a small room, and large furniture should be placed in a large room.
This is due to the fact that small tables in a spacious room will look inharmonious and even ridiculous. As for large structures in small-sized rooms, they will clutter up the space.
