Combination of materials

Plastic tables are distinguished by their strength, lightness and durability. This is possible due to the fact that to create them they use not only plastic or plastic in the pure form, but also combine them with other materials:

Folding or sliding models are most often made on a metal frame. It is the robust design that ensures such tables durability and quality of operation. In some cases, the legs of plastic tables and other models are also made of metal.
Sheets of laminated chipboard and MDF are often used as the frame of the tabletop itself and as the core of the legs of the plastic table. The use of these materials ensures the stability of the table as a whole and prolongs its life.

Often, plastic used for the manufacture of tables is enriched in the production process with special chemical additives that increase fire safety, resistance to abrasion and the durability of the plastic as a whole.

Each manufacturer uses different additives, but which ones can be found in the certificate of conformity or instructions.

Without the use of such additional materials, it is impossible to create a plastic table that would be characterized by durability, resistance to various damages and a high level of safety.

Small plastic tables are 47x47x38 cm.

It should be understood that these sizes are averaged by almost all manufacturers. Each specific manufacturer has its own individual size range, which you can always ask the consultant.

The size of a plastic table will directly depend on how many people it is intended for planting and on what form its table top has. Almost all plastic tables intended for children are 48x48x38 cm.

Assuming that the table is designed for landing four people, then according to the recommendations of GOST, its size should be:
