Kitchen tables on metal legs: types and tips for choosing

A kitchen table with metal legs is an excellent solution, as it is an inexpensive option and a fashionable piece of furniture. It is worth considering in more detail the features of tables for the kitchen on a metal frame, their main varieties and nuances of choice.

Modern kitchen tables with metal legs are in high demand as they look great in many modern interior designs. This table has the following advantages:

• high strength - metal legs are characterized by their reliability;
• do not slip - such legs necessarily have special plugs at the ends that resist sliding;
• optimal price, when compared with other models of kitchen tables;
• exquisite appearance - strict elegance and simplicity go well with each other;
• durability - such models will last quite a long time, regardless of the impact of external factors.

You should also familiarize yourself with the shortcomings of kitchen tables with metal legs. These include the following factors:

• heavy weight - it is worth being prepared for the table to stand in one place, since its frequent movement around the kitchen is not an easy task for one person;
• lack of attachments on metal legs will damage the flooring (but this drawback can be avoided if you also purchase attachments when purchasing).

Today on sale there is a wide selection of tables on a metal frame. All models can be roughly divided into two groups.

• With swing-out mechanism. Such models of tables can be increased in length, since the table is additionally equipped with a melamine top, which has a wooden texture. This folding table is ideal for receiving guests. It is necessary to pay attention to the legs - they must be supplemented with plastic plugs.

• Fixed options. These models are usually available in various sizes and configurations. Options with drawers deserve special attention. If the flooring is uneven, then you should definitely look at the models that are equipped with height-adjustable supports. The version with the lower and upper countertops looks very stylish, while the lower one can be used for storing cutlery.

Chrome table models look great in kitchens of any style, as they are represented by a wide selection of countertops. Considering the configuration, the following types are worth noting:

• oval;
• square;
• semicircular;
• round;
• rectangular;
• trapezoidal;
• abstract form.

The standard solution is a rectangular table, since it is these forms that are most often in demand. A rectangular table is conveniently located in the kitchen, takes up little space, it can be placed in a corner if the family is small.

But for spacious rooms it is worth purchasing oval tables with iron legs. The oval or round version is ideal for kitchens combined with a living room. Such a model will bring coziness and warmth to the interior of the room.

Countertops for tables with metal legs are usually made of wood, chipboard or plastic. Tempered glass countertops are quite common because they look sophisticated and opulent due to their transparency. Durable metal and delicate glass look very bold. This tandem increases the volume, so it should be considered for small kitchens.

Today, the choice of a kitchen table primarily depends on the area of ​​the room itself. If for a spacious kitchen you can choose a table with chairs at your discretion, then when filling a small kitchen, you need to take into account quite a few criteria. For example, if you are attracted to a table with a stainless steel frame, you should pay attention to the following factors:

• area of ​​the room;
• kitchen interior design;
• kitchen furniture material;
• color performance of kitchen elements, which sets the style for the interior;
• number of family members.

A table, like chairs, should be comfortable to use.

Appearance is also one of the main selection criteria, because the table should evoke pleasant emotions.

For owners of a small kitchen, you can purchase a sliding or folding model, since it can be easily transformed into the desired size. This option is suitable for a family of two or three people. The optimal shape is round. Due to the absence of corners, the round table will look compact. Usually, a small number of cutlery is used for everyday serving, as a result, the corners of the table are usually empty.

For eating, the table top rises, but after eating it is removed again, freeing up additional space. But as seats, instead of chairs, stools are ideal, which, if necessary, can be stacked on top of each other so as not to occupy valuable square meters of the kitchen.

If the kitchen is spacious, then, of course, a small table will look out of place - it will simply become invisible among other items. A solid table would be a good choice. It can be of any shape - square, rectangular, oval or round. It should be placed exactly in the center, thus, it will become a bright accent of the interior.

The oval version looks stylish, which can also be sliding - then its area can be increased if necessary.

When decorating the interior design of the kitchen, you need to think over the location of each piece of furniture located here. The dining table is also included in the furniture list - it also needs to be assigned its own place.

If the kitchen is decorated in a classic direction, then a model with a wooden table top is ideal. To embody the high-tech style, you can use tables made of metal, plastic or glass (but only shock-resistant). Rough models will fit perfectly in a rustic style, with chairs replacing wooden benches.

The choice of the table is also made on the basis of the color scheme. The color of the table should harmoniously fit into the interior design of the kitchen. If you want to visually highlight the table, make it the main accent of the kitchen interior, then the color performance can be very different from the basic tones. But in this case the color of the table must be supported by certain elements of the interior. Then such a piece of furniture will look harmonious.
