How to choose a table in the kitchen

Table top: what should be the surface of the table

The most demanded material is chipboard. It is desirable that the color of the dining table coincides with the design of the table top of the headset. The assortment of finished products includes a huge variety of tables made from standard countertops. This means that it is possible to choose a color identical to the material used on the lower kitchen cabinets.

Standard sizes of the kitchen table:

• the thickness varies within 28-38 mm, sometimes 16 or 18 mm chipboard countertops are used;
• the minimum width is 600 mm, the size is due to the typical furniture standard;
• length - almost any (the main thing is that the table does not clutter up the room);
• height - from 750 to 1100 mm (high tables are often used as a bar counter dividing the kitchen into functional zones).

Ergonomic principles

Round and oval kitchen tables look interesting, attractive, unusual. They are easy to use, visually pleasing and not bulky to feel. Due to the absence of protruding corners, such models are in demand in families with small children. The rounded ends of the table top minimize the risk of injury from accidental impact.

Rectangular dining tables have a larger usable area, while taking up much less space in space than models with smooth shapes.

Additional functionality of dining and kitchen tables

Cabinet furniture manufacturers take care of the end user, supplying products with sliding and lifting mechanisms, small open shelves, internal pull-out sections, an exit cutting board and height-adjustable support legs.

The more functionality is implemented in kitchen furniture, the more convenient it is to use. Therefore, before you buy a ready-made dining table, take an interest in existing models and find out about the possibility of supplying finished products with non-standard components.
