How to Choose the Dinner-table?

I’ve just move into my new flat with my boyfriend, and we are looking for a good dinner-table. We were not so good at purchasing it, so we have to search the internet to find some tips. And I’d like to give a summary.

First, take a look at the characteristics of various tables:

Log dinner-table is simple nature, it's either for dining, or can serve as tea desk and coffee table. Furthermore, you can put it on the balcony, which entertainment and dining is one.

Then I’d like to summarize some experience about table purchasing:

Firstly, when we choose meal tables and chairs, we must look the quality first. On one hand, the quality was reflected in if the design is meet the human body engineering principles. Try to sit on the dinner-chair and to feel whether is comfortable, it’s better to put your arms naturally on the table.

Secondly, to check the durability, especially the dining chair would be use frequently, you must pay attention to timber and splicing way of the chair when to purchase. Generally speaking the traditional mortise and tenon joints structure is relatively firm. Then the elm wood or the beech wood dinner-table is relatively firm. Except try to sit on the chair check whether it's shaking or not, also can judge from the chair legs, observe whether there are scars or crack repair trace, Chair leg and supporting parts cannot use scar section and materials of cracks, otherwise, it will seriously affect longevity.

Thirdly: look over the desktop carefully. Watch the steel parts of the surface whether smooth, without coating or coating drop, no rust or not. The paint color and luster of wooden parts is whether similar, surface smooth, no scratch or not.

Fifthly,

It's better to buy the dinner-table with extending function. In order to adapt to the number of people who have dinner. If there have slide ways inside the table, the two pieces of table can be pull open, the hollow part can be installed with one or two extend desktop, in order to achieve the effect of increasing the table size. In this way, we don't need to worry about have no place to have dinner even there comes more relatives and friends, and at other times you can retract the extension part, it also won't affect the room space.

Sixthly, dining table and dinning chair should be a collocation. They are a complement to each other; therefore, in order to be beautiful in visual, it's better to choose dinner table and chair from the same design.

Seventhly, the round-corner table is the best choice, in order to prevent hit on the sharp desk horn and injured.
