\"Model<\/a><\/p>\n

Homes come in\u00a0all shapes<\/span>, styles and decor preferences. The dining room furniture<\/span> you choose should fit into the look and feel of a home so it makes a cozy setting and dining area<\/span> to enjoy meals and host dinner parties. There are a number of different materials<\/span> used for dining room tables<\/span>.<\/p>\n

From traditional wood<\/span> to modern metal, the type of materials<\/span> you pick should be based on your design preferences, the look it will lend to a room, and your budget. Let\u2019s examine some of the most common types of materials<\/span> used for these wonderful tables<\/span>.<\/p>\n

METAL TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether you are looking for a modern or an industrial look, metal tables<\/span> can impress people by making a flashy and bold statement. Most metal tables<\/span> are made from stainless steel<\/span> yet people may also find recycled metal tables<\/span> out on the market if they want to make a more environmentally-conscious purchase (steel is completely recyclable and most steel products are made with 25% up to 100% recycled materials<\/span>). For a more decorative wrought-iron appearance, people may purchase a dining table<\/span> with metal decorative legs and place on a glass tabletop<\/span> surface.<\/p>\n

GLASS TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Glass tables<\/span> add a touch of elegance and style to any dining room<\/span>. The table<\/span> will have a glass top with either glass, metal or wooden table<\/span> legs. Most glass tables<\/span> are found in round shapes<\/span> although you can find large rectangular glass tables<\/span> to accommodate bigger family gatherings. Glass dining room tables<\/span> can be clear or frosted depending on your preferences. Glass tables<\/span> can show smudges and fingerprints more than any other table<\/span> surface, so extra care must be taken to keep the surface looking clean. Also be careful of sharp edges<\/span> when you have children playing or rushing through the room.<\/p>\n

SOLID WOOD TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wood tables<\/span> have been the mainstay of dining rooms<\/span> across the country and are a popular option<\/span>. A solid wood table<\/span> invites a warm and welcoming feeling for the people who will be sitting down and enjoying a meal together. Hardwood is more preferable than softwood as it is durable enough to withstand the nicks and scrapes if the table<\/span> is used for multiple purposes such as an office desk, craft table<\/span> or study area. Common types of hardwood used for tables<\/span> include mahogany, maple oak, teak, and walnut. If a person selects softwoods, they may choose pine, ash, or white cedar. Solid wood tables<\/span> can be more expensive based on the type of rare wood<\/span> that is used and how it is harvested. Solid wood tables<\/span> can be fixed with sanding and refinishing.<\/p>\n

RECLAIMED WOOD TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reclaimed wood<\/span> has been growing in popularity during the recent years as the environmentally-conscious choice of having a real solid wood table<\/span> that doesn\u2019t require cutting down additional trees. The reclaimed wood<\/span> can come from a number of places such as barns, factories, businesses and even railroad ties. This natural wood<\/span> often will have imperfections such as knots and saw cuts lending an antique or vintage appearance. People love this type of wood<\/span> when they are looking for a rustic or country cottage decor style. Since there has been an increase of demand for reclaimed wood<\/span> furniture, the prices for these tables<\/span> have risen because of the scarcity of finding the wood<\/span>.<\/p>\n

COMPOSITE WOOD TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cheaper than solid wood<\/span> or reclaimed wood<\/span>, composite wood<\/span> has been used for decades to create dining room tables<\/span>. The wood<\/span> consists of pieces of plywood or fiberboard made to look like solid wood<\/span>. Composite wood<\/span> may also be engineered wood<\/span> that are pieces of softwood and hardwood glued and pressed together. Composite wood<\/span> may have pieces of veneer affixed to the surface, which is real wood<\/span> cut paper thin. This wood<\/span> can fit into a multitude of home design themes and can withstand some abuse from kids and pets. Unlike solid wood tables<\/span>, composite wood<\/span> can be more difficult to fix as a person cannot sand it too much due to the thinness of the veneer.<\/p>\n

LAMINATE TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

While laminate tables<\/span> look like wood<\/span>, they are not real solid wood<\/span> or composite wood tables<\/span>. Instead, it is normally made out of plastic. The surface is imprinted with a wood<\/span> grain appearance so that they look like real wood<\/span>. The interesting thing about laminate tables<\/span> is that it can be sanded, primed and painted to fix imperfections. Yet a person cannot stain the table<\/span> as the plastic will not be able to absorb the stain.<\/p>\n

STONE TABLES<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stone tables<\/span> such as a granite or marble tabletop<\/span> provide a unique design theme to the dining room<\/span>. The stone can tie in to other stone elements in the dining room<\/span> or kitchen as they can match tile flooring, kitchen backsplashes and countertops. The stone is durable and strong and the smooth surface can come in a range of colors and designs. The stone table top<\/span> can have a base made from wood<\/span>, matching stone or metal. A person should be careful to protect the stone from watermarks and stains that could mar the surface.<\/p>\n

PICKING THE RIGHT MATERIALS<\/span> FOR YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE<\/span><\/h2>\n

With the number of materials<\/span> out on the market for kitchen tables<\/span> or dining room tables<\/span>, selecting the right table<\/span> for your dining space<\/span> has to come down to a personal preference. An important factor<\/span> a person should consider the style of their home and the decor elements present in the room. They should also take into account the amount of space they have for a table<\/span>, the amount of people who will normally eat meals there, and the possibility of needing extra seating spaces for large gatherings<\/span>. Shape<\/span> of the table<\/span> is something to consider as well, whether you prefer a round table<\/span>, rectangular table<\/span>, or oval table<\/span>. In addition, another important consideration<\/span> is how often the table<\/span> will be used. A multipurpose table<\/span> will experience more wear-and-tear than a dining room table<\/span> only used during special occasions<\/span>. Also, children and pets can cause a great amount of wear to tables<\/span>, as the tables<\/span> must be safe for children while standing up to rigorous use.<\/p>\n
