Varieties
There is probably an ordinary wooden table in every family. Mass production was widely established during the Soviet years. It was a dining room, a coffee table, and was often used as a TV stand. The tables of those years were durable, massive and, accordingly, heavy. Some of them took a simple table to the garage when “perestroika” began, others took it to the country, and still others gave it to relatives. As they say, it will come in handy on the farm. An extendable wooden table was most often used during large gatherings of guests - at anniversaries, birthdays and farewells. When assembled, it did not take up much space, so on all other days it calmly stood in the corner allocated for it.
In the 90s of the last century, combined tables were presented in furniture stores. They consisted of metal and wood, or rather, they came with metal legs. The tabletop continued to be wooden. These tables were distinguished by the fact that their legs could be easily twisted if necessary. The legs were made of aluminum, so there was no question of any kind of strength.
Wooden tables with an iron base (steel) are more durable than their predecessors. The metal can withstand a weight that is tens of times higher than its own. By the way, height-regulating hinges are often located on the frame. Such a “growing” table can easily turn from a dining table to a coffee table, and vice versa. The table, covered with a plastic sheet, was used in rooms with high humidity, most often in the kitchen. The plastic protected the tabletop not only from moisture, but also from the external environment, so there was absolutely no need to paint the product.
Years passed, fashion and technology changed. Today, few people can be surprised by outdated models. People who moved from communal apartments to country cottages have changed their needs and financial situation, and as we know, demand creates supply. Now combined tables are made of both glass and concrete. There are those with wooden legs and a glass tabletop, or tables with legs made of concrete and a wooden tabletop - the manufacturer practically does not limit himself. By the way, furniture with a glass top is used not only in the kitchen, but also in the living room as a TV stand. Today, you can also find the following options in a specialty store.
