The dining room performs an important function in the life of every person. It is in this room that meals and just communication with the family take place. In order to create the most comfortable and cozy atmosphere, you need to know how to choose the right dining table.
Product types
The table is the centerpiece of the dining room. First of all, the choice of the right model depends on the design and capacity of the countertop. Therefore, before buying, you need to decide in advance on the number of seats for eating. Also, do not forget about the guests, adding a few more centimeters of table area. Depending on the type, tables for the dining room can be in the form of a transformer that can be folded and unfolded during the arrival of guests. And also in the form of a conventional stationary model, which is devoid of such a function, but at the same time looks much more beautiful. The final choice depends on the tastes of each family man.
Table shapes
An important role in choosing this furniture is played by the shape of the products. To date, there are many different design solutions with a variety of forms of countertops. So,let's deal with each form in order.
Square and rectangular dining tables. This type of furniture has many advantages, which are large capacity and versatility. Such tables can be placed in any part of the room: in the corner, in the center or just near the wall. In any case, rectangular furniture will look very attractive and still accommodate a lot of people.
Round analogues are also famous for their convenience. Thanks to the shape, more people can be seated at such a table than, for example, at a square one. But at the same time, you need to take into account the fact that after purchasing this product, you can place it only in the center of the room. It is then that the round table will look beautiful and create a cozy homely atmosphere. In the corner of the room, this furniture will look simply unattractive. Therefore, if you have limited kitchen space, it is best to focus on buying rectangular tables.
Material selection
And finally, you need to pay attention to the choice of material from which the tables for the dining room are made.
First consider a material such as chipboard: inexpensive, quite attractive in design and has a wide variety of shades. But besides this, it is worth considering that dining tables made of chipboard have a limited service life. As a rule, chipboard kitchen sets serve 5-10 (maximum 15) years, after which all the chips, which are the basis of the material, begin to stick out, swell andcrack.
As an alternative to chipboard, you can choose a glass table. Such a product, by its properties, can last for several decades. In addition, all modern furniture companies make countertops exclusively from tempered glass, which is as durable as natural wood. This type of furniture is completely environmentally friendly and safe if a heavy object falls on its surface. Such tables are equipped with a special film that prevents the fragments from scattering in different directions.
