Helpful information! When choosing a table, you should pay attention to models with a metal or wooden frame. Plastic options are not reliable.
There are practically no downsides to this item.The only thing worth mentioning is the fragility of the mechanism. Any mechanisms fail, and this one is no exception.For a sliding dining table of the transformer, the usual place is in front of the sofa.
On ordinary days, fresh newspapers, a bowl of fruit or flowers can be kept on the countertop
Features of the mechanisms and materials of the coffee folding table of the transformer
The range of such designs is quite large. You can choose a model that will ideally fit the rest of the environment, do not take up extra space and unfold literally in no time.
Mechanisms
There are quite a few types of folding mechanisms and it is not easy to choose the one that suits you.
You can go a simple way: ask the weak half of the family to assemble and decompose the device. If she copes with this task without help and much effort - buy
Most often, you can find two main types of folding devices:
- on springs;
- gas-lift.
The first option is primitive and easy to repair. The second is easier to control, but in the event of a breakdown, such a mechanism will have to be completely replaced. Separately, it is worth highlighting the model of the transformer coffee table on wheels. It is convenient not only to lay it out, but also to move it around the room.
Considering the load on the product, it is better to choose metal rollers
Materials
The coffee table can be made of glass, natural wood, laminated chipboard and MDF.Each material has its own characteristics. For example, solid wood looks a bit heavy in a small living room, and a glass tabletop needs to be constantly looked after so that streaks and stains do not remain on it. In addition, wood and glass are not cheap materials and tables made from them have an appropriate price category.
The most popular models are made of veneered MDF and chipboard. They are neat looking, lightweight, and inexpensive. We can say that they are the best choice.
The combination of MDF and metal will provide the structure with the necessary strength
Laminated materials outwardly differ little from veneered ones, but they quickly fail. Despite their low cost, experts do not recommend purchasing such products for continuous use.
Advice! Wooden products are more suitable for a classic interior style. Glass and metal - for minimalism and hi-tech.
Layout options
The transformer coffee dining table can have a different tabletop shape:
Square - the most spacious of all other shapes
Round - such products are very aesthetic, in addition, more guests can be seated at a round table
Oval - have a classic shape, fit perfectly into any interior, you can use a semi-oval part in the layout
Rectangular - practical and roomy, can be expanded in different ways and doubled
Advice! When purchasing, check the table for stability. A swinging countertop will cause a lot of trouble.
There are several ways to unfold, consider the most popular:
- Book - the basic principle is clear from the title. The book can be folded in one or two sides. This is a simple and reliable design.
Book table
- Slider - part of the table moves to the side, the additional table top rises from below. The only drawback in this design is the unaesthetic appearance of the legs when unfolded, but who will pay attention to this if mouth-watering dishes are on the table?
Slider mechanism
- Sliding - the table top is divided in half and moves apart. An additional element is inserted into the center.
Sliding table top
