Wooden kitchen tables (39 photos), chairs: how to do it yourself, round, oval, folding, Malaysia, instructions, photos, price and video tutorials

It takes a lot of effort to choose the right kitchen wood table. Only after weighing all the pros and cons, you can be firmly confident in the correctness of the choice. You can familiarize yourself with the main selection criteria by reading this article.

Trying on

Before buying anything, you need to carefully analyze all the main aspects. We will introduce you to them.

Calculations

The first step is to make a kind of fitting, which would take into account many factors. Wooden kitchen tables should be designed for a certain number of people (usually this value ranges from 3-9 people). As practice shows, it is better to add another 1-2 people to the number of tenants, counting on possible guests.

If you plan to receive a large number of guests, then the best option is a folding wooden kitchen table, which allows you to fit up to 15 people without taking up a lot of space.

Now let's move on to specific calculations:

1. Having decided on the number of persons, it is necessary to multiply this figure by 60 cm (this should be the "working" perimeter).

1. You also need to decide how the table will stand: in the center of the room or close to any wall. Of course, the first option is more profitable, because in this situation, wooden kitchen tables can accommodate more people.

1. Do not forget to consider the model, because it can, for example, imply the presence of boxes.

Let's look at a concrete example:

• You want to buy a rectangular model for five people.
• It is assumed that it will stand with the short side to the wall, thus leaving one short and two long sides free (you can fit 1 and 2 people, respectively).
• As a result, it turns out that it should be at least 60x120 cm in size.

Please note: if you place such a table in the center of the room, then six people can fit behind it.

Dimensions and location

We figured out the required perimeter that a solid wood kitchen table should have, but what about the width? According to experts, the optimal width countertops for kitchen is 80-110 cm. A narrower model will be difficult to serve, and a wider model will be difficult to reach common dishes.

Above, rectangular models have been analyzed, but what if you decide to buy an oval sample? It's very simple - you need to calculate the circumference. To do this, multiply the diameter (radius * 2) by the number "Pi" - 3, 14.

It is important to remember that round wooden tables for the kitchen must be located in the center of the room. Otherwise, their capacity will be seriously affected.

Now let's look at a few guidelines for choosing the optimal location:

• It is undesirable to put the table against the wall with the long side. This will significantly reduce its capacity (by 30-40%). As mentioned earlier, the best option is to place it in the center of the room.
• As the instructions say, the distance from the edge of the countertop to any nearby object should be at least 1 meter. Otherwise, there will be discomfort when using the kitchen.
• Also, it is not desirable to be located near the stove, as hot splashes may splash out during cooking. It is better to place these objects in opposite parts of the kitchen.
• Not everyone knows, but you can't sit under the air conditioner (you can catch a cold pretty quickly). Do not forget about this fact when planning your space.

Shape selection

The next step is to decide on the form. It is worth noting that this aspect has the most powerful influence, because it is able to completely change the geometry of space. In addition, it will depend on him how comfortable the meals will be in the room.

The most versatile shape is rectangular with right angles. Such countertop for kitchen can be square or rectangular, while it is very convenient to place it in space. It can be installed both in the center and close to the wall.

However, versatility has never been a factor in unconditional success in the market, because people tend to love everything extraordinary. So, recently, oval models have become very popular.

There are a number of quite logical explanations for this:

• They have a more attractive appearance, creating a kind of "airiness" of space. This can be verified by looking at the corresponding photos on our portal.
• They save a person from the need to go around corners. This is especially true when small children live in the house who like to run "headlong".
• On such tables, it is much more convenient to hold solemn meals, because they create an atmosphere of community.

However, it should be borne in mind that such products will not allow accommodating a large number of people (usually no more than 8). Therefore, if you have a large family, then it is better to give preference to rectangular samples.

Of course, there are also large round models, but it will be extremely inconvenient to dine behind them - in order to taste a common dish, you will have to get up or ask the one who is closer.

The maximum diameter of the "comfortable" oval table top is 140 cm. However, if you still want to have an impressive round table, you can take a closer look at rectangular models with rounded edges.

Using the information above, and trusting your own taste, you must decide on the form. However, remember that oval patterns are not suitable for small kitchens (less than 8 m2), as they require a lot of space.

Analysis of the modern market

Before going to a furniture store, you should familiarize yourself with the main market trends. So, all manufacturers of kitchen tables can be divided into three groups (in ascending order of cost).

Asian brands

This group includes manufacturers from countries such as China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Korea. Despite the rather low cost of products, they have not received wide recognition in our country. This is due primarily to the mediocre quality of the furniture.

However, some manufacturers still managed to occupy their own small niche in our market.

These include:

• Foshan Perfect Furniture Co.
• Beijing Chuangxing Plastic Products Co, Ltd.
• Hangzhou Mengdio Sanitary Ware Co.
• Langfang Senjieke Furniture Co (all China).

Russian manufacturers

It is absolutely logical that domestic manufacturers have become the leading players in the Russian furniture market. They carry the so-called "golden mean" in the price-quality ratio. At the same time, the list of the most popular factories may differ for a particular region.

Perhaps the only serious drawback of Russian products is the not too rich assortment. It will be extremely difficult for people who love everything unusual to find the right option. For example, it is difficult to find models made in the glass + wood scheme.

Recognized European brands

Manufacturers of the Old World have been holding the palm in the field of furniture quality for several decades. The most recognized brands today are Hefele, Indaux, Eureka, Blum, Vibo and others. Their assortment will delight the eye of even the most fastidious consumer, and many competitors will envy their impeccable quality.

Of course, the main (or rather the only) drawback of European manufacturers is the price. For particularly sophisticated models, it can be up to several hundred thousand rubles.

Getting your dream table yourself

Many of us have a desire to do something in our home with our own hands. In this regard, we would like to present to your attention a recommendation for making a kitchen table made of wood.

Preparation of materials and tools

Our recommendation will be based on the example of creating a model 180 cm long, 90 cm high and about 70 cm wide. Of course, if you wish, you can change the parameters, the main thing is not to forget about the proportions.

So, in order to bring your plans to life, you will need the following set of materials and tools:

• Small cordless drill.
• Roulette.
• Screwdriver.
• Sandpaper.
• 8 boards measuring 2.5x10 and 180-182 cm long. They will not be cut, so try to get as flat samples as possible.
• 1 board 2.5x10 and 240 cm long. It will be needed to connect the countertop. In the future, it will need to be cut into three parts (63 cm each).
• 2 boards measuring 2.5x15 and 183 cm long.
• 1 board 1x15 in size and 240 cm long. It will also need to be cut into three pieces (63 cm each).
• 2 boards 5x7.5 180 cm long. They must be cut in two.
• Also, in order to make a kitchen table out of wood with your own hands, you need 16 screws 6,3x38 mm ("turnkey"), 40 wood screws 2.5 cm long and 12 5 cm long.

Foundation creation

The sample we are considering consists of several elements, making it quite easy to assemble.

The first step is to assemble the legs:

1. We put the legs parallel to each other. Then we put a board 2.5x15 on top of them and 63 cm long. Mark with dots the location of the future holes and drill them.
2. With the help of a washer-grover, we screw the turnkey screws into the holes made. After making sure that the board is perfectly perpendicular, we tighten the screws well. The same should be done with the second group of legs.
3. On top of the connected legs, we put a board 2.5x15 cm 180 cm long strictly perpendicularly. We drill holes in it, into which we screw turnkey screws on both sides.
4. We turn over the resulting structure and repeat the steps. Then we put it on the legs and install the remaining board 2.5x15 63 in length on the screws in the central part of the structure perpendicular to the sides. If you do not understand any points, there is a huge amount of training videos presented on our portal to your attention.
5. Now it's the turn to make the countertop. To do this, put all 8 boards on the assembled base, leaving no gaps.

Tip: to check the perpendicularity of certain elements, you can use a laser level.

1. We put 2.5x10 across the board and fix them with screws. It is very important that they are located as tightly as possible to each other, without forming gaps.

1. At the end, it remains to process the product with sandpaper and apply transparent varnish. If you wish, you can paint it with some kind of paint.

Finally

The above information is absolutely enough to have a complete understanding of kitchen worktops (see also the article on triangular kitchen table). Do not immediately rush to the copy you like. Perhaps your choice will be a wooden round table for the kitchen or its square counterpart, in any case, you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
