Round sliding tables

Regardless of the size of the apartment, there should always be a dining place in it, where you can sit with your family on quiet evenings or meet long-awaited guests. For a large kitchen, choosing furniture is simple enough, but for a small space it is almost impossible. For such difficult cases there is a sliding round table, which has a mass of advantages necessary for small premises.

The design of the sliding round table consists of a table top, which is divided into two equal parts in the central zone. Under the tabletop there is an additional compartment in which are the parts necessary to increase the size of the table. If desired, you can push the two parts of the product and place additional parts into the resulting space. These simple movements will significantly increase the area of ​​the dining area.

Thanks to its design features, oval and round tabletops have a number of positive qualities:

• They are able to expand the area, which helps to arrange a large number of guests in the dining area. When assembled, they occupy a minimum of space.
• Differ in the increased durability, reliability and wear resistance. The table-book will withstand even a very large load, humidity, temperature drops, and, nevertheless, retain its original appearance. Even after several years of operation, they will not change their parameters, of course, provided that they are made of high-quality materials.
• They are able to serve for quite a long time. Their functionality will remain at the original level even after 15 years with careful attention to the structures.

• They have an aesthetic appearance. Manufacturers give such models a classic style and a presentable look, so that they could decorate and harmonize the dining place with their presence. The models with a glossy surface, which fits well in many stylistic directions, have a special delight.
• They have a high level of security and capacity, and therefore it is convenient to stay behind them. A large oval or round table allows you to place people anywhere due to the absence of sharp corners.

Speaking of the shortcomings of the round sliding structures, it can be noted the need for constant folding and unfolding. But for a small room it is necessary, because in the event of a celebration, the apartment owners simply have nowhere to accommodate guests.

A round sliding table must be strong enough and durable, and therefore it must be made of quality materials:

• Often the dining table is made from glass. Glass products are good because they are resistant to odors, dirt, moisture and temperature extremes. But handprints and drops of fat are very easy to remain on the glass surface, and although it is quite simple to get rid of them, it will have to be done regularly. The owners of such tabletops appreciate the glass for its lightness and elegance, and to avoid frequent maintenance, cover the surface with a tablecloth.

• Does not lose its relevance and tree. Wooden structures are most often made of ash, oak or beech. Natural wood is distinguished by environmentally friendly raw materials and impeccable design, and therefore it looks advantageous in any interior.

• Very often for the manufacture of round sliding table tops used veneered chipboard or MDF. It stands out for its practicality, ease and democratic price. Externally, the construction of these materials look like natural wood, and therefore favorably emphasize the luxury of the interior.

• Modern products are also made from laminated chipboard or MDF. Their main advantage lies in the availability and variety of colors. Countertops made of laminated chipboard should be covered with a tablecloth to protect its surface from mechanical damage. But laminated MDF has a higher wear resistance, and therefore is slightly more expensive chipboard.
• Stylish sliding table can be made of natural stone. It looks original and expensive, but the stone structure has a lot of weight that not every floor can withstand. In addition, natural stone responds to acids and temperature fluctuations, and can often have a low resistance to fat. But the artificial stone is much lighter than its natural counterpart. It is very practical, reliable and has an affordable price.

When choosing a sliding round table, you need to focus on the number of people on whom the dining space will be calculated, and on the total area of ​​the dining area. The calculation is made according to the following principle: there should be about 70 cm by 40 cm per person. In the middle of the table there must be a free area of ​​20-30 cm, therefore the minimum width is 80-90 cm, and the length can be 100-120 cm.

When choosing a round sliding table, you need to consider several important rules:

• The quality of the product must be top notch in order for it to last a dozen years.In the furniture salon, you must carefully examine the documents confirming the characteristics of the selected model. It is important to check the reliability of fittings and inspect the tabletop for possible defects.
• The size of the chosen model should combine comfort and spaciousness. For a small family there is no urgent need to acquire a huge table, especially as the dimensions of the product should look harmoniously on the area entrusted to it.

The design of the product must match the design of the rest of the furniture, which is located in the kitchen-living room. It is important to rely on the general style of the room so that the dining place does not stand out from the rest of the zones.

Semicircular designs will be the ideal solution for a family in which there are small children. Thanks no corners they cannot harm themselves.

When choosing a sliding oval design, it is important to take into account both the appearance and the number of legs. For example, for classics or Provence it is good to pick up a product with carved or curved legs. They can be made of rattan or metal - it all depends on the personal preferences of the owners.

In modern style, the product will look beautiful on metal or simple wooden legs. The number of supports at the oval table top can be from 1 to 4 pieces. The most convenient is the table on one leg, t. To. This will allow you to seamlessly sit behind him and get up.

When placing a round extendable table in the living room or in the kitchen, it is important to relate the size of the product to the characteristics of the room. After all, the room is not always rectangular - sometimes it can be square or even round.

In the elongated rectangular space you should not place a semicircular product in the middle. This will make it more difficult to move around the room.It is better to choose a convenient place in advance, especially if it is located in the window area. The transforming table should not take up much space when folded; it is enough that it can accommodate up to four people. Ideal oval product is suitable for placement in a large square room. It can emphasize and decorate it with bright colors.

In a bright room decorated in pastel colors, a white table with a glossy surface will harmoniously look. If you want to add zest, you can play on the contrast and get the black color. Bright unusual colors are well suited for quiet rooms that do not have enough brightness. In this case, you need to choose textiles of the same shade as the tabletop.

Finishing under a natural stone can add elegance to the space if there is a stone table in it. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to install a product from a real stone, it is enough to imitate naturalness.

To the dining area looked fresh, you need to arrange it beautifully. Vases with fresh or artificial flowers, figurines or a tea set are suitable for this.And in order not to spoil the surface of the table when folded, it is worth buying a transparent tablecloth, behind which the immaculate beauty of the table top will be visible.
