A Buying Guide to Dining Table

Nov. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- A dining table is a part of almost every home’s basic furniture and typically forms the focal point of the dining area. Often made of wood, glass or stone, a dining table is usually not cheap in price. Since you buy a comparatively costly piece of furniture, you should know exactly what to bear in mind while purchasing one. For an item used as regularly as a dining table, it is far more than just the appearance or design of the table. There are many other important factors to consider like the core material, finish, maintenance required to keep it in good condition, etc. You should remember the following things when you go shopping for a dining table for your home:

1. Buy a good material: Buy a more durable dining table because it is something you won’t keep buying every other day!! For this reason, 100% wood is most recommended. Pine is durable, comparatively cheaper and looks good too. While oak, chestnut and walnut are also highly durable woods and stylish too, they could be far costlier due to their high density. Stay away from wood look-alikes such as medium density fibreboard (MDF), or particleboard as these lesser quality materials are prone to easy wear and tear.

2. Ensure Resilient Finishes: The finishing of the dining table makes a lot of difference. The durability of this furniture not only depends on the quality of the wood, but also on how many layers of finishes does it have. Multiple layers are a good defence mechanism against scratches, chipping, stain, etc. Not only does this ensures better strength to the table, but also maintains your table's newness and beauty.

3. Check Maintenance and Care Instructions: It is a good idea to pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance instructions given for you to keep the table in good condition. If there is too much maintenance required or very complicated cleaning process, then you should avoid buying it. A good dining table should be easy to clean and maintain. This would mean that the core material and finishing both are of good quality.

4. Price Difference: Since dining tables are available in a large variety in the market, their prices also vary depending upon their material and size. Once you have finalised these two things for your table, then you need to decide if a retail store chain is better or a custom furniture shop. You could also check and order online on the internet as there is a huge variety on the internet also these days.
