Having a good dining table and having a good meal together is a priceless companionship for your family.

There are skills to choosing a dining table. There are many shapes and sizes of dining tables on the market, and many of them are beautiful. I don’t know which one to choose, and I’m afraid that I will fail if I choose based on my feelings.

In this issue, I would like to share with you that there are 8 types of dining tables that are being eliminated. I suggest that you do not buy them anymore, otherwise they will become more and more uncomfortable the more you use them at home.

01. Don’t buy a luxury stone dining table

The netizen bought a luxury stone dining table, which was the most expensive piece of furniture for his new home. He went to Foshan to have it customized personally. The moment the film was torn off, he felt very disappointed.

He said he wanted Tianshan Muxue. What the hell is this? Was the moss not cleaned? Or is the white tofu moldy? Green "vegetable shreds" can be seen everywhere, and the merchants call it natural crystals.

At that time, I chose it based on the sample, not the finished product. The merchant said that each natural stone is unique and you have to accept all flaws and major errors.

Luxury stone dining tables have high hardness and low toughness. They are expensive and delicate, and it is normal for them to cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Not only may the product not be what you paid for, but if you are not careful during use, scratches will leave marks. For example, the friction from dishes can cause scratches and they are easy to crack, so you have to use them with care after buying them.

This kind of dining table is the kind of furniture that looks good but is not practical. If you buy it, it is recommended to apply a protective film before use.

02. Don’t buy low-quality rock slab dining tables

Rock slab dining tables are popular due to their high hardness, scratch resistance, wear resistance, and high-end appearance, but the market is flooded with many low-quality rock slab dining tables, and there are many pitfalls.

If there is no support, the rock slab will break easily. The half-supported rock slab also has this problem. Therefore, when purchasing, you must choose a solid wood fully-supported rock slab dining table.

In addition, if the thickness of the rock slab is not enough, it is easy to break. The thickness should be greater than 10mm, preferably 12mm, and it should be a rock slab that has been treated with high temperature and high pressure to ensure the quality.

Some low-quality stone slabs have color bleeding. For example, if the tea stains left on the table are not wiped clean in time, they will seep in completely and cannot be brushed off with a steel wool. Of course, if you choose a good stone slab, it will be very durable.

03. Don’t buy a dining table with too many panels

A netizen ordered a cherry wood dining table online, but when it arrived, he counted it and found there were 10 pieces. The smallest piece was estimated to be about 4 cm.

Therefore, before customization, be sure to confirm with the merchant how many panels the table top has?

Because there are too many panels, it looks low-class, the texture is messy, and its service life is short.

The more panels there are, the lower the cost, because you can just use some scraps of wood to piece them together. Under normal circumstances, a dining table with two or three panels can ensure both beauty and quality.

Of course, if you buy a whole board, the quality and appearance are more guaranteed, but the price will be higher.

04. Don’t buy a dining table with large legs

In the home furnishing store, the European-style dining table with large table legs was praised by the salesperson. The Roman column table leg design is full of ritual sense and can show dignity, so I feel that it is a must for my own restaurant.

However, once you buy it home, you will find that this table is as heavy as a big stone and it is not easy to carry it home.

When I placed it in the restaurant, I found that it took up a large area, making the small restaurant look more crowded.

Also, these thick table legs are really annoying. It is inconvenient to stretch your legs when sitting down, let alone turning around. My knees feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. It is so terrible every time I eat there.

Therefore, although this kind of dining table with large legs looks impressive, it is actually very impractical. Do not buy it unless you are afraid of getting your head pinched by the door.

05. Don’t buy a dining table with golden legs

With the popularity of light luxury style, dining tables with golden legs have also become popular, but it is difficult to understand this golden decorative design. The copper-covered golden legs look like shoe covers, which is really ugly.

Some have entire legs painted gold, which makes them look even more tacky.

One netizen became more and more dissatisfied with the table after buying it home, so he painted the legs black, which made it look much better.

Gold is really boring to the eye and is difficult to match with home decoration styles. This "high-profile" color, paired with light-colored floor tiles, has too strong a visual impact. Not only does it fail to create a relaxing home feeling, but it appears a bit dazzling.

06. Don’t buy a dining table with large gaps

The dining table is made of stone and wooden frame. Because there is a large expansion joint, it is inevitable that things will fall into it when you wipe the table. You cannot take them out after they fall in, so the gap will become moldy and smelly over time.

Most splicing dining tables will inevitably have gaps. Although the splicing design looks good, the gaps are difficult to clean.

Similarly, solid wood dining tables also have expansion joints because wood expands when heated and contracts when cooled. If you live in the south, if there are no gaps, the dining table will probably burst directly.

There are also dining tables with built-in turntables, which have even more serious gap problems. It takes two people to clean them, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, it is best not to buy these dining tables with gaps, otherwise you will have to endure the laborious cleaning every day.

07. Don’t buy a dining table with a shiny, reflective surface

Some tabletops have very strong reflective properties, look beautiful, are easy to clean, and can make the space brighter.

However, after I bought it home, I found that the light above the dining table was so bright that it made me dizzy.

Imagine eating at a table like this. When the light is turned on, there will be a reflection of the light on the table. At certain angles, the light will hurt your eyes. Long-term use will be harmful to your eyesight.

Secondly, the reflective table top feels like you could skate on it. It’s cold, distant, and indifferent, not warm at all. Some people throw it away after not using it for long, which is a pity.

08. Don’t buy a round table with thin legs

The biggest problem with this kind of table is that it is unstable. My family bought one. If I press any side of the table with a little force, it will tilt, and the legs will shake if you touch them.

Then I asked the merchant to send me a new pair of legs, but it still shook. Later I changed to a different style of table legs, and it became much more stable.

This is because the chassis is too light and the pillars are too thin. Not to mention putting some force on it, it will shake even if you put something on it. I'm afraid it will tip over. It's not very practical. If you like round tables, this type is not recommended.

Conclusion

A good dining table should not only focus on appearance, but also consider practicality and durability.

Although the above 8 types of dining tables seem high-end, once you move them home, they will become more and more uncomfortable to use.

I hope everyone can avoid these "pitfalls" when purchasing a dining table.
