Coffee tables
Coffee tables are tables that are used in homes and offices for
setting or storing things that don't require immediate use.
Sometimes the tables may be used when drinking coffee as the
name suggests however their main purpose is decorative in
nature. They are useful in creating focal points in a room. The
can be ordered in many varieties i.e. styles, types and materials.
They are however classified mostly in terms of what materials
they are made of and the shapes they come in.
Type: Wood or glass
The tables can be made of glass which comes as a favorite choice for most people. This is
because glass tables are elegant in nature and can easily match with any room design or theme.
The glass tables can come in variety of styles, designs and sizes. Most of the glass tables are
made according to customer specifications therefore you can be sure that they will satisfy your
interests/passion. Glass tables are also easy to clean as they only require regular wiping that can
be done easily with a wet cloth and detergent. Unlike wooden tables, glass tables look more
attractive in the living room. Customer reviews indicate that the tables are also fairly priced
which is an added advantage. The most notable disadvantage of glass tables is that they can
easily break or shatter. Most of the tables may be made of reinforced glass however they still
shatter easily. They may therefore not be suitable in homes with children as children might play
around them and break them or get hurt.
The tables can also be made of wood. Wooden tables have been among
the most popular tables for decades. Customer reviews indicate that
most people prefer them over glass tables mainly due to their
durability. Wood is also readily available in many different types that
you can choose from. For instance, wood tables are available in very
many colors, types and designs. Most wood tables are also favored by
many because they are simple, sophisticates, modern and classy. The
tables can therefore fit in any kind of room. There are also a variety of
trees that have very unique shapes that provide overwhelming sizes, shapes and colors. The main
advantage of wood tables lies in the variety and strength. The also have disadvantages such as
cost. Most wood tables are expensive to buy because they use wood that is not readily available.
Wood tables also endanger indigenous tree species which is also another disadvantage.
Examples of such tables are lift-top tables. Lift-top tables are the most useful versatile tables in
the market today. Lift top tables are available in numerous styles, shapes and sizes. They are
normally made of wood and as their name suggests they have a top that rises perfectly to
required height. For instance, the lift top table can be lifted to the size of a workspace table or a
dinner table. The lift-top is unique compared to other tables because it contains a storage area
below the tabletop. This is among the main advantage of the lift-top among other things such as
its adjustable height feature. The table offers an excellent storage space. The main disadvantage
of the lift top lies in its price. Most lift-top tables are expensive compared to ordinary wooden
tables.

Shapes
Coffee tables can also be classified according to shapes. For instance we have the square tables
which are the most common. Most households have these square shaped tables although the
styles may vary. It is therefore important that you choose the kind of table that will be able to
suit your rooms design and style. The main disadvantage of these tables is that they can't fit in
any room design or shape. There are hardly any square tables made of glass therefore the table is
not suitable for you if need a glass table. The reason behind this is that many contemporary
square glass tables don't look as attractive in ornate living space. They hardly match nautical
themes which are common and suitable for living rooms. Square tables can however match
individuals with simple tastes looking for a bargain.
Tables can also come in round shapes. The round tables are more like square tables although
they come in more varieties in terms of materials textures, sizes and colors. Round tables are
most suited in a sparse room that has bright colors and little furniture.
Design
Lastly, tables can come in different designs that range from traditional to modern designs. Over
the years, various designs have come up. Many designers and artists continue to come up with
creative round and square tables made from both glass and wood. Modern tables posses
numerous designs that have also incorporated awkward sizes and shapes diverging from the
traditional square or round table. Today you can buy very spectacular modern tables that have all
kinds of color schemes. It is therefore important that you explore different ideas, designs, shapes
and sizes in the market before settling on a specific kind of table. Most modern table designs
should be chosen wisely to ensure that they go well with your rooms' design. These is because
modern table designs have a tendency to over disrupt or cause havoc in a room when a room
needs little or no flare.
Have fun in choosing
In summary, it is important to take your time when choosing a suitable coffee table for your
house. This is because the table should fit the exact purpose it is intended for. For instance, if the
table is for decoration purposes then you should choose more elegant design types, shapes and
colors. Also, for storage use at home, lift-top tables are more appropriate as seen above because
they have storage space and adjustable heights. Price is also an important factor when choosing
which table to order or buy. For expensive tables that can have very unique designs/shapes, glass
tables are always the best. If price is an issue, you can always go for the simple wooden design.
All in all, you should have fun choosing an appropriate design that suits your functional needs
and aesthetic appeal.

The Marketability of Iron Coffee Table
Iron - an excellent material for decoration!
Just like copper, Iron is abundantly found on Earth
especially the inner and outer core. This great
abundance of iron leads people to explore its different
uses not only in science and engineering but also as
home and office ornaments, tools and others. Its
chemical properties make it a versatile elemental
requirement for human health. Its physical properties
such as luster, durability and flexibility provide the
investors the ideas that it can be used for home decors
and furniture. Right now, iron is used in wine glass
making, as accentuation in the base and even handle, giving it the elegance in the metallic
design.
How about an iron coffee table?
A coffee table in a circular or rectangular shape is one of the attractive and functional ornaments
in every modern living room. Iron coffee table will bring in elegance and style in your living
area where guests can converse while taking a cup of coffee. However, this is only prominent for
bigger houses and buildings.
How about its marketability parameters?
A coffee table will always give you sales no matter what kind of material it is made of. This is
because a living area is incomplete without this centerpiece. Customers find ornaments for their
homes that fit their motif, purpose, living standard and maybe style. Just like copper coffee table,
iron-made table is furniture suited for bigger buildings where business function is progressive
and promising. Its presence in the home would spell out something and for this, home buyers
think about its practicability and functionality in the homes. Examining its quality, iron and
copper coffee tables are timeless, far more durable that rattan and bamboo coffee tables.
However, metallic coffee tables are more expensive than its wood counterparts. In deciding
which one to buy for your homes, always consider the reviews and ideas of experts and even
home interior designer and decorator regarding the different coffee tables before putting your
order online and in store.
Pros and Cons of iron tables
Iron coffee table has its advantages and disadvantages just like
other materials used for this purpose. One of these disadvantages
is that due to temperature fluctuations and humidity factor, it can
collect dust and soon rust. Though this can be eliminated by
constant cleaning since the rust can just be eroded by the process,
it is still a no-no for buyers and owners. Another disadvantage is
11
12. coffeetableideas.org
that metallic tables and chairs are heavier compared to the rattan-made and bamboo-made
furniture so flexibility in terms of interior designing is quite limited. You need more people to
move the ornaments from one place to another and so in doing this, you have to think twice.
Maybe not the last disadvantage is the price. Generally, because of the materials used and how it
is acquired iron coffee table is expensive than its wood counterpart. Amidst these disadvantages,
coffee tables and home ornaments made from iron metal have several advantages to be looked
into if you decide to buy one. First advantage is quality. Iron ornaments spell out elegance and
style in its design and craftsmanship to its purest form. Your guests will feel satisfied talking
about business in this piece of ornament. Second advantage is its durability. Metallic-made home
and office ornaments are durable compared to its wood-made counterpart that is why the price is
higher. The metal raw material is difficult to acquire which adds up to its market value. Another
advantage is the flexibility of design. A metal can be liquefied to create different shapes and
designs but its wood counterpart cannot. You must follow the nature of the material because if
you don't it will break. This process again adds up to the production cost of the metallic-inspired
coffee tables. Another advantage is that iron-made ornaments are versatile in its purpose. You
can decorate your homes with metallic accentuations even if your motif is tropical but quite
awkward for a tropical house to be decorated with metallic ornaments. Iron home ornaments are
not only good for bigger houses and buildings but can also be present in average income homes.
The decision is yours...
Above all, always consider your living standard, home
motif, purpose and budget in deciding which home
ornaments to buy. Websites' reviews and experts' ideas
can assist you in making your final order. Before
putting your money to buy a particular home
ornaments in whatever form such as tables, chairs,
wall decors and the like, feel free to visit different
store online and in land for price tags' differences.
