Materials (edit)
When choosing a sofa, it is very important to pay attention to the materials from which it is made. This affects not only the appearance, but also the duration of operation. As for the frame, it is most reliable if it is made of metal. Also for construction can be used plywood, MDF and chipboard.

How to choose?
A sofa with a table is by and large an ordinary piece of furniture. This means that there are no special rules for his choice. However, the standard guidelines should be followed.
First you need to decide on the size. For a small room, a compact corner or narrow model is perfect. In a more spacious room, a straight sofa or sofa bed will look great.

The transforming mechanism is especially important when you plan to frequently assemble and disassemble the sofa. You can consider the models "eurobook", "accordion", "dolphin" and others. Comfortable filling is also important.
The upholstery should be selected depending on where exactly the product is planned to be placed. If we are talking about a children's room, it is better to opt for flock or velor. For the office, more convenient options will be artificial or natural leather... Spectacular and beautiful fabrics like chenille or jacquard will look great in the living room.

Selecting the size and shape of the table is required depending on the purpose for which you plan to use it. If the user decides to store small things in it, such as a mobile phone or a remote control, you can stop at a corner table. The model, which has an armrest, is quite suitable for placing tea utensils and light snacks. Convertible sofas are designed for more serious analysis. The tables here are quite large, it is convenient to study or dine at such tables.
The choice of any piece of furniture should take place with an eye to other interior items. Since the sofa is predominantly large, it will attract attention. Accordingly, the style should be in harmony with the overall design of the room.

In this case, it is problematic to track its quality, and disappointment in the purchase will ruin the mood of all family members. Also, you need to be wary of excessively cheap models. To begin with, it is better to compare the advantages and disadvantages, and only then make an informed choice.
