Metal table base

The table is one of the most important and indispensable items of interior. Today in furniture stores you can find countless variety of models, from simple and inexpensive to truly luxurious and expensive. However, not only its design plays an important role in choosing the right product. In this article we will discuss one of the important components of modern tables - a metal underframe.

Underframes represent the support on which the table top and other parts are located, which should be located on the surface of the structure. The importance of these elements should not be underestimated, since the operational characteristics and quality of furniture directly depend on them. Tables with high-quality and reliable underframes are characterized by a long service life and maximum stability.

Strong and durable underframes are made of different materials. This aspect affects not only the design features, but also its cost. Let us consider in more detail all the features, pros and cons of various products.

Wooden stands are widely distributed in the modern furniture market. They are classified as classic designs that fit easily into most existing interior styles. The most stable and reliable are wooden underframes on four legs. Such a support can easily withstand the impressive weight of a tabletop made of any material, be it a solid oak or durable metal.

The main positive quality of a wooden stand can be considered its beautiful appearance. And the point in this case is not only in the natural attractiveness of this eco-friendly material. You can put an exquisite carved decor on the supports of such a quality sub-base. Tables with similar decorative additions look very expensive and luxurious.

However, there is a wooden base and its drawbacks. Many consumers refuse to buy tables with such details because of their high cost.

Underframes from MDF are cheaper than wooden options and are much more common in modern interiors. Not so often it is possible to meet designs from LDSP. If you decide to purchase the latest option, then you should find structures made of laminated chipboard of class "e-1". Such material is more environmentally friendly and safer than conventional particle board, which contains hazardous formaldehyde resins.

Metal underframes are considered to be the most stable, durable and wear-resistant. Such options are divided into chrome and cast iron varieties. The main advantage of such models is their strength and stability. The base of any type of metal can withstand the countertop of almost any weight and size.Moreover, they are not subject to mechanical damage, which indicates the preservation of an attractive presentation for many years.

Many consumers choose furniture with this underframe, not only because of its performance, but also of original and aesthetic design. It is worth noting that metal constructions look great in combination with other materials. For example, in interiors relating to modern styles, such models (in chrome version) are often used in the design of an elegant glass table.

Metal stands are stationary and folding.. Folding options are the perfect solution for small space. If you suddenly need to remove the table, then you will not have to puzzle over where to hide it. Products with a folding base can be very easily and quickly folded, and then moved to any place of the home.

As for the appearance of metal specimens, they do not always represent concise monochromatic tubes with a smooth surface. Today, in furniture stores you can find more interesting design products with curved legs.Tables with such components will no longer be only functional and will take on the role of a decorative element in the interior.

Modern manufacturers offer customers a choice of various designs that imitate natural stone, made of cast iron, stainless steel, hard and durable wood, and even polyurethane. Such designs have an attractive and rich appearance. Their cost depends on the material from which they are made. To cover such products, chromium, nickel, enamel or lacquer is most often used.

Consider some varieties of the base for the tables:

• Stationary. Such designs are the simplest and reliable. They are designed for ordinary tables, devoid of any mechanisms or additional structures. They can often be found in awkward dining and writing models.They consist of four stable legs-supports.

• Retractable. Such a base is present in compact models that can be placed even in the smallest room. However, if necessary, it is put forward, and the tabletop expands and becomes more spacious. In the unfolded state for such furniture will be able to comfortably sit at least 4-5 people.

• Foldable and foldable. Such designs are easy to use and, by analogy with sliding options, they save space in the room. Folding underframes are equipped with simple mechanisms. For example, in some designs legs are folded, while others have spring systems that allow you to quickly and easily fold and fold furniture.

In folding structures, the supporting leg is often equipped with a special mechanism for easy folding, which is a very convenient and useful component in carrying and transporting furniture. Folding designs are often chosen for the coffee table (rectangular, round and oval). They have a small height and can consist of several metal tubes connected to each other.

• Height adjustable. Products with the ability to change the height of today are among the most comfortable and sought after. They can be adjusted according to the height and preferences of the user. As a rule, in these systems it is possible to level the unevenness of the floor with the help of the legs. The supports in such models can be either cylindrical or square. It all depends on the style and design of furniture.

Also the under stands are different from each other in shape. There are the following options:

• Classic rectangular;
• U-shaped;
• Square;
• V-shaped;
• W-shaped;
• X-shaped.

Most often under stands are made in the same color and texture as the tabletop. However, there are also such options in which these parts have different colors. Consider some attractive tandems.

• The classic is a concise black underframe. On this basis, the tabletops look great in almost any color. They can also be made from different materials. In tandem with a black base, simple unpainted canvases made of natural wood also look good.
• Elegantly looks black wrought base.The legs in such designs are often decorated with artistic elements and patterned compositions that look great in combination with unpainted wooden table tops. Such furniture will look impressive not only at home, but also in the yard.
