In this era of gourmet food, the status of the dining table has become increasingly important. If the kitchen is for making delicious food, then the restaurant is the best space for sharing delicious food. Therefore, a good dining table must not only ensure quality, be well designed, be ergonomic, and have a good appearance, but it should also be able to adapt to other needs...

So how can you choose a suitable dining table? Woolen cloth? We would like to provide some reference opinions here:

The first step in selection: determine the dining area?

Whether it has a dedicated dining room or the living room doubles as a dining room, you must first determine What is the maximum area of ??dining space that can be occupied. If the house is large and there is an independent dining room, you can choose a dining table with a rich feeling to match the space;

If the restaurant area is limited and the number of diners is uncertain, the number of diners may increase during holidays. , you can choose the common retractable dining table currently on the market, that is, there is a movable board in the middle, which can be stored in the middle of the table or taken down when not in use. Don't buy an extra-large dining table just for parties that only happen three or four times a year.

For small families with limited area, a dining table can play multiple roles, such as being used as a writing table and an activity table for entertainment and entertainment.

In a family without an independent dining room, the first thing to consider is whether the dining table can satisfy all members of the family? Does it take up space and make it difficult to move around? At this time, a foldable dining table is more suitable to choose.

The second step of selection: determine the size and shape of the dining table?

Many people like big tables and feel that they can do whatever they want. But it’s not that a bigger table is better. When we use a restaurant, we don’t just sit on chairs to eat. We also serve dishes, move around, get things, sit down, etc., so we must leave an appropriate amount of space for activities. Don't make the aisle narrow in pursuit of a big table. You have to walk sideways, which is not worth the gain.

Height: When a person sits on a table and chair of standard height and his feet are flat on the ground, his thighs and calves are basically vertical; when his arms hang down naturally, his upper arms and forearms are also basically vertical. It is vertical, and the height of the desktop is just in contact with the plane of the forearm. According to standard regulations, the standard height of a dining table is between 750 and 790 mm, while the height of a dining chair is between 450 and 500 mm.

Width: The minimum width of the dining table should be no less than 75cm. After ensuring a personal dining area (commonly used dishes have a diameter of 16 or 18cm), space for placing dishes should also be left in the public area. . If the table width is too small, the space will be very cramped, and it is easy for family members to touch each other's feet when sitting next to each other because the table is too narrow.

Length: The length of a square dining table is generally between 70-240cm, a table for 2 people: 80-100cm, a table for 4 people: 120-140cm, a table for 6 people: 180-200cm.

Round table size: The diameter of a general round table is 50cm for two people, 80-90cm for four people, and 110-120cm for six people. In small and medium-sized houses, if you use a round dining table with a diameter of more than 90cm, it can seat 4-6 people, but placing too many fixed chairs will look crowded. If there are a lot of people, you can use folding chairs.

However, a round dining table will cause a waste of space to a certain extent. A certain amount of space must be left around it. Even if the number of diners is relatively small, it cannot be placed against the wall, so it is more suitable for restaurants with larger space.

So in small homes, square tables are more popular than round tables. The biggest advantage is that they save space and can be placed against the wall at one end, so that the space can be maximized. If the restaurant is in a modern minimalist style, a square dining table is also suitable for a simple and refreshing overall look.

In addition to the above points, when considering the size of the dining table, you should also consider the distance between the dining table and the wall. Generally, it is better to control it at about 80 centimeters. This distance includes pulling out the chair and being able to use it. The minimum distance required for diners to move easily. Generally, people still hope to have a spacious space when dining, which can be entered and exited at will. If the distance to the wall is too close, it will make dining uncomfortable, so this factor should be taken into consideration when choosing the size of the dining table.

The third step of selection: Determine the material and style of the dining table?

There are generally three types of table materials used at home for a long time: wood, transparent glass, and marble.

Solid wood dining table

Solid wood is the most common dining table material in life. The natural wood texture is clearly visible, giving people a sense of nature. Moreover, the solid wood dining table is relatively simple and suitable for large rooms. Some home decoration styles.

Purchasing points: When selecting, pay attention to identify whether there is any adulteration of other wood, and whether it is fake. In addition, the solid wood desktop will be smoother, while the composite board will be rough. You need to pay special attention to avoid solid wood. The dining table is bumped and close to a fire source.

Glass dining table

Glass dining tables are made of tempered glass with relatively high hardness, and the style is more modern. The glass material is not easy to deform and is easy to clean. Simple and clear lines and transparent visual effects make the glass dining table unique and unobtrusive, but the glass material is not suitable for cold winter, which can be solved by spreading a tablecloth on it.

Purchasing points: Choose a qualified and high-strength tempered glass dining table. The desktop is preferably tempered glass with a thickness of more than 8 mm.

At the same time, pay attention to whether the table corners are polished and smooth to avoid hot objects causing the table top to explode and bump. In addition, families with children should try not to choose a glass dining table.

Marble dining table

Marble dining table has high hardness, is not easy to deform, has strong wear resistance, and is not easy to corrode. It is generally divided into natural marble dining table and artificial marble dining table. Natural marble dining table is elegant and beautiful. But the price is relatively expensive. The texture and pores of natural marble make it easy for oil stains to seep in, making it difficult to clean; while the artificial marble dining table has a high density, making it difficult for oil stains to seep in and makes it easy to clean.

Purchasing points: Marble is divided into grades. A good marble snack table means that it is delicate and smooth to the touch. There will be no scratches even if it is lightly scratched, and the surface of the marble is high in gloss. , and also pay attention to whether the other materials matched with the marble material are also of high quality.

In addition to the choice of material, the choice of dining table style must also match the overall style of the room. If the living room is in a modern and simple style, the dining table should be of corresponding style, such as a more modern glass dining table; if the living room emphasizes Japanese simplicity, you may consider purchasing a solid wood style with a simple and elegant countertop.

In short, any piece of furniture in the home cannot be "self-contained" and should fit in with the style of the room.
