If you don’t want to see your kitchen table as a place for collecting fingerprints of all family members and guests, choose a table with an opaque surface. It can be tinted in white and other shades. It isn’t necessary to wipe often the surface of the table. Moreover, it hides the legs of people who are sitting at the table. Sometimes the shelf is added to the table. It increases functionality, reduces transparency and decorates the table if you draw a picture on it or make it a different color.

the safety of the table top is vital. So, when buying a table, you need to ensure that the material is of high quality. There should be no scratches,
cracks or blisters on the glass. The edges of the table tops should be
perfectly polished. If children live in the house, then it is worth choosing a
table with rounded corners to avoid injuries. Besides, when buying the table,
you should check the fastening
strength of the table legs. They mustn’t be removable. Recommended table top
thickness is 10 mm or more.
The best shape
of the table top is selected based according to the size of the kitchen. A
large table of any form is suitable for a spacious kitchen or dining rooms.
If you have a
tiny or narrow kitchen, use a rectangular shape. You can lean the square table
with one side against the wall. It will save space. It is also possible to
place a round table in a small kitchen, but you need to take into account the
functionality of the kitchen.

If the room is
decorated with wood, then the best option would be to choose a table with a
wooden base. If the kitchen is created in minimalism and high-tech, the chrome
legs and frames will allow the table to harmonize with the overall style. For
example, the Art Nouveau-style table with curved legs will look fantastic.
