Imagine that you have finally got the keys to your new home, the decoration style is too much for your eyes, and the next step is the choice of furniture, especially the dining table. Let's talk about the dining table, which is not only a place to eat, but also a small stage for family reunion and daily sharing. However, the matter of choosing a table is not just a casual one, I have to tell you about "6 don't choose", it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's really a loss, and I don't want you to step on the thunder again.
First and foremost, there are the glass-topped tables that look shiny. I know it's really attractive at first glance, but when you think about it, every time you wipe it after wiping, it will still leave water stains and all kinds of stains on it, especially in families with young children, and it can become a "battlefield" in two minutes. Also, if you accidentally put a hot pan on it, the risk of bursting is a ticking time bomb. So, the glass-noodle dining table, which looks good, collapses with use.
Next, let's talk about those Internet celebrity slate dining tables. I'll admit, at first I was also attracted to that beautiful appearance, but what happened? It didn't take long for the surface to be scratched one after another, and it was distressing to look at. Moreover, this thing is so good and bad on the market that you can't tell the difference. The most troublesome thing is that once this kind of dining table is unevenly stressed, the possibility of breaking is very large, and when the money is spent, trouble will come.
Then, there's the dining table with its own turntable. Doesn't that sound lofty? Actually, it's a lot of trouble to use. Especially for small apartments, putting a turntable table is simply king in terms of land occupation. Moreover, when there are many people, it is OK, and it is usually used by a few people, and the turntable is basically a decoration. Not to mention, after a long time, the turntable sounded, like a mouse running a marathon inside.
When it comes to the shape of the dining table, I have to mention the rectangular dining table. Traditional, atmospheric, and once my favorite. But after using it, I never want to touch it again. You think, when you sit at both ends, picking up vegetables is simply a fitness exercise, especially when there are guests, the degree of embarrassment can be written into the family log. In contrast, I am now a big fan of the round table, which not only looks harmonious, but also makes it much more accessible to the people.
Another point is the problem of table legs. Many people like to put the dining table against the wall at home, and at this time, the choice of table legs is very important. The design of the outer eight legs, I can only say, in addition to being unsightly, is also particularly easy for people to trip, especially if there are elderly people and children at home, you have to be careful. Moreover, if you try to clean, the difficulty of cleaning can be used to practice kung fu.
Finally, let's talk about materials. The solid wood dining table is undoubtedly the favorite of many people, including me. But you can tell that solid wood and solid wood veneer are two different things. The dining table with solid wood veneer, once it encounters high temperature or humidity, the skin cracks like a snake that has taken off its skin, which is uncomfortable to look at, and it is even more troublesome to repair.
So, friends, don't just look at the surface when it comes to choosing a table. You have to think about it, this thing is not suitable for your life, and it is not easy to use. Don't block yourself in the future for the sake of temporary beauty. After all, home is a place to live comfortably, not to worry about it every day. Remember, practicality is king, don't let "appearance" fool you.
That's how I came step by step, and every choice was made after countless trials and errors. Now, I hope that through my experience, I can help you avoid detours. Of course, everyone's preferences are different, and their choices will be different, but there are still basic principles.
