Tabletop options in a variety of materials

There are several reliable tabletop material options to choose from, all of which stand up to frequent use. A glass tabletop or mirror tabletop are both popular choices that offer glossy finishes, and they are simple enough to match several types of decor. Additionally, they complement table base models in a variety of materials and styles. Glass is strong and durable, making it just as reliable as other materials. Laminate is another common choice that is available in a range of colors, and there are several models that mimic the classic appearance of a wood table. Laminate is stain and scratch resistant, so it's the optimal choice for heavy use. Solid wood selections offer the most durability due to their thickness and they can hold the heaviest of objects.

Choose a suitable table base

Selecting the top of the furniture is only half of the process. The table base must be strong enough to support the top and anything placed on it. When selecting a base, look at its weight limit. The limit necessary depends on whether you use the furniture for work, family meals, conferences, or entertainment. Additionally, consider the table width that a base needs to support. The wider the surface, the wider the base needs to be.

Material choice influences the style and durability of a table. The base should be at least as durable as the tabletop, if not more so.

Attractive square and round tabletop options

Both round and square shapes have their benefits. Square makes efficient use of space, so it is optimal for many workspaces and offices. Round tabletops are ideal for group work, as they allow everyone to face one another during meetings, and this shape is suitable for homes with small children since they have no edges. Additionally, round versions offer a soft and welcoming feel to any room. Round accent tables enhance room decor and design schemes.
