the size of the space is also a prerequisite for choosing a dining table. Generally speaking, the larger the restaurant area, the larger the size of dining tables and chairs. Based on the consideration of the scope of activities, the selection of dining tables and chairs is very important!
First of all, determine the use area of the restaurant and the number of people in the family, so as to determine the size of the dining table. The use area of the dining room determines the upper limit of the table size, while the number of family members (whether relatives and friends often come to eat or not, of course, they have to buy a bigger one) determines the lower limit of the table size. Choose the size of the table between the two.
how to choose the dining table shape?
after determining the size, it is the choice of dining table shape, which is more casual. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of square and round.
1. Square table (symbolizing stability and solemnity)
Advantages: saving space (reliable wall when there are few people, and moving out when there are many people),
Disadvantages: under the same use area, there are fewer people sitting at the round table
2. Round table (symbolizing reunion and roundness)
Advantages: there are more people sitting, and the family atmosphere is stronger < Of course, there is also a folding table, which can be round (personally recommended, after all, it has the advantages of a square table and a round table, and there is no need to entangle)
How to choose the type of table?
At present, there are roughly four categories of dining table materials in the market, namely, solid wood, stone, glass and artificial board.
1. solid wood dining table
solid wood dining table can be divided into many kinds according to the types of wood, such as black walnut, white oak and ebony, which are very popular now. The advantage of solid wood dining table is that it is environmentally friendly and durable, and it is more environmentally friendly than artificial board. From the appearance, solid wood dining table has natural texture and color, which looks very beautiful and durable at the same time.
2. Stone dining table
Stone is also very popular now. Stone dining tables include marble, flint, slate and other stones, among which marble dining tables are widely used. The marble dining table looks smooth and textured, and the surface is also very easy to clean. After eating, just wipe it with a rag. On the whole, it is quite good and has a high face value!
The dining table with the flint table top looks more personalized, and the black table top is more suitable for the Nordic style. However, the flint table top has one disadvantage, that is, the surface will feel concave and convex, which is relatively not as clean as glossy surface.
the dining table on the table top of the rock slab looks lighter, because the thickness of the rock slab is generally relatively thin. For example, the common rock slab is 3-12mm thick, which is very thin compared with other materials, and it is more suitable for minimalist decoration. The advantages of the rock slab are non-bleeding, scratch resistance and high temperature resistance, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive.
3. Tempered glass dining table
The surface of tempered glass dining table is smooth and very clean, but the glass surface is too bright, which seems to lack a little texture, but the price is moderate, so it is also chosen by many families.
4. Man-made board dining table
Man-made board dining table generally refers to the dining table with particleboard countertops. For example, many dining tables in IKEA are made of this material. This kind of dining table is cheaper, but it is relatively less durable. After all, man-made board is afraid of water. In case the corners of the table are wet, the board will easily swell.
There are many styles, types and materials of dining tables. When choosing, we should first do our homework to see what kind of dining table our family style is suitable for and what shape our family needs. Choose a good dining table, or you will be in trouble when you eat later.
what should I pay attention to when buying a dining table?
1. Are the legs stable
When buying a dining table, you should pay attention to the material of the legs. Generally, there are two kinds of legs: metal and solid wood. You should shake them on the spot to see if you can shake them.
2. Whether the corners are smooth
Both square and rectangular dining tables should pay attention to the corner problem. If it is too sharp, try not to choose it, or buy your own anti-collision strips and wrap it later.
3. Is the table top clean?
The question of whether the table is clean or not comes back to real life. If you are a lazy person, you should really consider whether the table surface you choose is clean or not.
4. Ask about the after-sales warranty period
Don't think that the furniture of the dining table won't be broken. In fact, the desktop may crack and the legs of the table may be loose. When buying this, ask whether the warranty is guaranteed and how long it will last.
