For quite a long time, furniture made of glass has not gone out of fashion. This applies to a wide variety of things. This trend has not bypassed the kitchen either, and glass kitchen tables (sliding and solid) can be found in many homes today. In this article, we will try to figure out whether it is worth giving preference to this piece of furniture and what are the pros and cons.
Arguments for a glass table
Glass kitchen tables (sliding) have certain advantages. First of all, practicality in use can be attributed to them. Plus, one can note such quality as the strength and reliability of such a table. Despite the fact that it is made of glass, it is quite difficult to scratch it. This becomes possible due to the fact that sliding glass tables for the kitchen are made mainly of tempered glass. Unlike wooden models, glass does not have the ability to absorb any odors, which can also be attributed to the advantages of using just suchtable.
Since the kitchen is a place where there is always a lot of steam and fat, this has a negative effect on wooden or plastic surfaces, which cannot be said about glass kitchen tables. Sliding and monolithic structures are very resistant to deformation, and they are absolutely not afraid of any other external influence. Along with this, I would like to note that a glass table for the kitchen, a photo of the options for which can be found in the article, will perfectly complement the kitchen of any style. Also, this model is perfect for use in a small kitchen. It will not be difficult to choose a certain shape and size, since modern glass tables for the kitchen, sliding and solid, oval and square, are presented today in large quantities. The color of the tabletop itself can be very different, the use of glass does not mean only a colorless surface.
Arguments "against" a glass table in the kitchen
Where there are positives, there will always be negatives. So, for example, having made a choice in favor of a table whose top will be made of glass, you will have to constantly monitor its cleanliness. Even lightly touching the table with your fingers, you will have to wipe it with a rag. Strange as it may sound, a table made of glass makes more noise than wood.
So, for example, a mug just put on the table will make a rather sonorous sound. And even if the countertop is very strong andbreaks, then such a constant noise will begin to bother. As for strength and scratches, we can say that no matter how the manufacturers assure us, it is still possible to scratch the countertop.
Conclusion
Before purchasing this type of table for the kitchen, you should think very carefully about where it can be placed, since placing it directly under the lamp will not work, there will be too much glare. It can also be noted that the use of a glass kitchen table has both advantages and disadvantages.
