The main place in the dwelling has always been a kitchen. It also serves for cooking, meals and for receiving long-awaited guests. In turn, the central element of any kitchen is the table. Today, this element of home furnishings is made from various materials - polymeric raw materials, glass, stone or metal. But due to their practicality, decorative attractiveness, strength and environmentalities, wood will always lead this list.

Selection of product shape

Convenient and practical supplement of each kitchen will be wooden kitchen tablewhich can be made it yourself. But before proceeding directly to the execution process, it is necessary to determine the table of which form you need. There are several variations:

• rectangular product;
• triangular;
• in the form of a circle;
• oval table;
• square.

Consider all the variations in more detail:

1. Wooden wooden tables. The piece of furniture such a form can be made either with one leg - it should be sufficiently massive to withstand the load. Either with three supports that for operation in the kitchen room will be more convenient. Usually, the table includes chairs in the amount of 4-6 units. It should also be noted that the table of such a form is not suitable for the room having a small metra. A round form will not bring it close to the wall, so the table of such a form requires more space for its placement.
2. The kitchen table is an oval wooden produces an impression of elegance and sophistication. In addition to aesthetics, it differs from round items with one significant advantage. It is easier to place indoors, because due to the characteristics of the design it is more spacious.
3. The square shape table will be a practical and convenient solution for a mining room. Such a product is well suitable for mounting to the wall and, due to the reduction of the number of legs, more free space will appear. However, on the reverse side, this will entail a decrease in seating places, so this option is suitable only for small families.
4. The rectangular table will bring a classic style notch in the interior of your kitchen. It is comfortable in accommodation. Such a table will be appropriate and near the wall and in the center of the room. The rectangular product will be a good choice for a large family, because it can accommodate 6-8 people. Wooden kitchen tables with a glass of rectangular type will become a functional and simultaneously refined solution for the design of the room.
5. Furniture triangular shape looks unusual and creatively. Such a table is suitable for those who wish to make an emphasis of sophistication in the interior of their housing. However, such a design is unlikely convenient for the kitchen room, as many people will not be able to accommodate it. But as a magazine or coffee table, it will be very functional.

We choose the material for the product

There are many variations of raw materials from which kitchen wooden tables can be made. Defined with the choice, should be considered:

• durability of material;
• exposure to mechanical and chemical exposure;
• its resistance to possible deformations;
• price.

Choosing the material, pay attention to the density of the wood. This moment is determining when it comes to the kitchen table. Here it will be appropriate to the use of a solid rock, since the soft material is easier to mechanically exposure. Despite the high cost, the tables made from the massif are distinguished by durability in operation and environmental friendliness.

Wood, depending on the density indicators, is customary to divide into three categories:

• solid (beech, larch, apple tree, ash, rowan, oak);
• most firm (tees, dogwood or white acacia);
• soft (alder, spruce, silver poplar, pine, juniper, chestnut).

Consider in more detail the materials for the manufacture of the table:

1. Walnut table is distinguished by reliability and massiveness. If a decorative thread was made during the manufacturing process, the nut makes it possible to avoid chips. Kitchen sliding wooden tables from this material will be very comfortable, hardy and serve the owner of about 50 years.
2. Pine - Popular material for construction construction. Wooden kitchen tables, whose photos can be found in many design magazines, it is necessary to additionally process several layers of varnish to give stiffness and strength designs.
3. The most successful choice for kitchen furniture will be wood from oak. The product from such a material will be durable, resistant to deformation and will serve for many years. Also, such a table will not succumb to rotting. This condition is very important for the kitchen, since the humidity in the room is always improved.
4. Larch is an option for adherents of eco-friendly furniture, which, besides, should have healing properties. If this circumstance was the cause of the choice of such a material, it is necessary to remember one circumstance. Protective funds that are required to cover the product, prevent the allocation of beneficial properties.
5. Lipa is distinguished by plasticity. This is a good choice for performing point elements. But this material is also extremely attractive for insects, so in order to protect the product, it is necessary to use a veil.
6. Material for the manufacture of furniture may be not only a tree. Kitchen tables in photos of designer publications are often made of alternative raw materials. For this purpose, plates of LDSP are used. The thickness of the fragments is 17-23 mm. Also apply to Paneur and MDF. To close the ends of these materials, experts use melamine tape or PVC. These materials, of course, are inferior to natural wood in many parameters. They are not eco-friendly, have a smaller service life and are not distinguished by high strength. But simplicity in processing and low cost attract the attention of many consumers.

Important! The most common and affordable tree rocks are nuts, pine, oak. When choosing this material, it is necessary to be guided by the rule - to acquire only that wood that is well succumbed and the humidity does not exceed 10%. Only so you will avoid designing design.

We perform calculations for the manufacture of the table

If you have made a decision to independently make a table from a wooden array, you need to have certain knowledge and skills in a carpentry and carpenter. And also the appropriate tools and the room where you will perform work.

2. If guests are often visited by your home, the optimal solution will be a folding table that will allow to accommodate up to 15 people. The folding function will save space.
3. The next step after determining the number of persons will be a multiplication of the figures obtained by 60 cm. It will be a "working" perimeter. It is also worth taking care of creating internal shelves and boxes, which also contributes to saving space.
4. In addition, it is worth declaring where the table will be located - in the center of the room or near the wall. In terms of placement, the first option is most practical.
5. You should also consider all the features of your chosen model.
