Glass tables for kitchen are fashionable today. They are easy, modern and are capable to fit practically into any interior. But to choose table which will organically look and will serve long it is necessary to know what to pay attention upon purchase to.
Transparent or opaque
Tables for kitchen from glass are transparent and opaque. The transparent table is most often represented on advertizing leaflets and photos of interiors therefore the first rush of most of people happens to buy it. However such furniture conceals in itself some surprises. Not all think that in photos nobody touches table, and in kitchen it will constantly happen. If you do not want to examine infinite fingerprints or continually to erase them – such table-top not for you.
Opaque table – the decision more universal. Perhaps, at first it will seem not so easy and air as his transparent fellow, but, believe, the practicality will cross out this its shortcoming. Besides, in comparison with normal wooden or plastic table, even opaque glass furniture will show to advantage more. By the way, the nuance of most of which of people does not think at all – transparency of table-top can not always be very esthetic. Would you like to consider legs of your guests during dinner? Think properly!
Safety on the first place
The fact that the glass table will be brittle – the myth. Modern technologies allow to burn glass in such a way that it becomes rather strong for daily household use. But even the burned glass can have defects in manufacture to which it is necessary to pay attention. Before purchase make sure that table-top surface equal, smooth, without chips, cracks and scratches. Any, even insignificant crack can become glass cause of destruction. Other important point – processing of edges of glass table. Certainly, sharp and cut them nobody leaves. Each table-top has the smooth rounded edges of surface that does it safe. If you are not really accurate and are constantly hooked for objects in the apartment, or in the house there are children, it is better to stop on table of oval or round shape. About its edges precisely nobody will be wounded.
