The coffee table is the most common piece of furniture in daily life, but many families have made many different mistakes when buying coffee tables, and many of them cost money.
The coffee table is an integral part of the living room furniture. Some people think that the coffee table is of no use so they give up buying a coffee table. However, most people will still consider placing a coffee table in the living room for emergencies.
If your living room is large enough, there is no problem in placing a coffee table, and it can also serve as an embellishment. However, you must be cautious when purchasing a coffee table, otherwise you will often have to pay a bloody price to understand the truth. This is definitely not an exaggeration; next, Liu Zhi will introduce to you several types of coffee tables that are not recommended to be purchased.
1: Coffee tables with small chassis and large countertops
This type of coffee table will feel very delicate and compact at a glance for a long time, so it will feel that it saves the use area, so I chose this type of small and exquisite coffee table.
This kind of coffee table is not particularly convenient to use, and it is easy to "suffer" yourself, so Liu Zhi does not recommend that everyone buy this type of coffee table.
It is not recommended to buy this type of coffee table. Liu Zhi gave the following reasons:
. It does not actually save area. Although does not occupy a large area when viewed from the base, this type of coffee table has a larger countertop area, so the area saved by the base is occupied by the countertop, so this type of coffee table does not actually save area.
, poor stability. Because this type of coffee table has a small base and a large table top, the weight borne by each area of the table top is inconsistent. If we place objects on the edge of the table top, if the weight is too heavy, it is likely to cause the coffee table to fall. If the objects placed on it are If it is heavy objects or boiling water, it will be troublesome if it hits someone.
. Not practical. For coffee tables with small bases, the table top is not much larger, so the table top of this type of coffee table can only place some small things, such as paper towels, ashtrays, etc., so this type of coffee table is not used very much, and will only be used over time. It is used for decoration, and it also feels like a burden.
2. Coffee tables with too many edges and corners
Although coffee tables with geometric patterns like this have a certain sense of design, this is the most impractical coffee table for durability and practicality, but for some designers It may be used due to design considerations, but if it is purely for home use, Liu Zhi does not recommend it.
It is not recommended to buy a coffee table with too many water chestnuts for the following reasons:
1. It is dangerous. There are too many edges and corners, indicating that the corners of this type of coffee table are particularly sharp and complicated. If a naughty child or someone falls down and hits the corners of the coffee table, it is likely to cause bleeding.
2, occupied area. Due to the excessive long-term edges and corners, the edges and corners cannot be used. Therefore, this type of coffee table does not save much area, but naturally takes up area.
Combining the above two situations, Liu Zhi does not recommend that everyone buy a coffee table with too many water chestnuts. At the same time, when relatives and friends visit the home, they will feel that the head of the household is particularly sharp and has a prickly feeling.
3. Overweight or large long-term
This kind of coffee table looks particularly high-end and classy when placed indoors, but it must match the larger living room, otherwise it may be superfluous.
At the same time, when we put an overweight or large coffee table in the living room and give up the living room furniture one after another, we feel that this coffee table seems to be particularly hindering our daily life and moving the furniture. It may even break the furniture when moving. .
For overweight furniture, it is also troublesome to move, and it may also scratch the floor decoration materials.
Reasons why it is not recommended to buy:
1. The occupied area does not feel atmospheric. There is no problem in placing a larger tea machine in a larger living room, but after giving up the furniture in the living room, you will feel that this coffee table is very large and hinders your life. Over time, you will feel that this coffee table takes up a lot of space and is used at the same time. The rate is not high.
2. It is difficult to move the coffee table. For heavier coffee tables, it is estimated that one or two people cannot move them, especially stone coffee tables. If they are forced to move, the feet of the coffee table may scratch the floor decoration material.
Based on the above two reasons, it is not recommended that you buy an overweight or large coffee table, especially for families with a living room area less than 40 square meters.
4. Glass coffee table
Glass coffee table looks particularly delicate and transparent, and has a certain sense of space, so some young people will consider glass coffee tables.
However, there are great safety risks in the use of this type of coffee table. For example, this type of coffee table is fragile and is afraid of high temperatures. Once this type of coffee table is damaged, bleeding is likely to occur. At the same time, the coffee table may be slapped hard without people paying attention. Or placing heavy objects may cause the glass to break.
Therefore, Liu Zhi does not recommend that you buy a coffee table made of glass. There are several reasons:
1. The dirt on the surface is obvious and it is not resistant to dirt. Like this kind of transparent glass, if there is a little dust on the surface, it will be particularly obvious, so the degree of dirt resistance is poor.
2. There is a certain probability of damage. Because is made of glass, its strength is not that good. For example, if you put high-temperature objects or heavy objects on it or accidentally hit it with great force during use, the coffee table can easily be damaged.
3. There is a certain amount of noise. If there is no cotton mat on the surface of the glass coffee table, placing metal, stone and other objects on the glass surface will cause a certain collision noise, and this sound is particularly harsh.
Based on the above reasons, if you still want to buy a coffee table made of glass, it is recommended that you go to a physical store to experience it in person before deciding whether to really consider buying it. Don't regret it later.
5. Deformable combination coffee table
This type of coffee table is generally used by young people or newlyweds, because it is more fashionable and has a certain sense of technology, but many times it will feel special after using it for a period of time. trouble.
Because if this type of coffee table needs to be used, it is likely to require a deformation and lifting combination, and it cannot be used independently. Therefore, many young people will find this type of coffee table more troublesome after the freshness period in the previous period, so everyone is buying it. Be careful when using this type of deformable combination coffee table.
The reasons are as follows:
1. The price is relatively expensive. Because incorporates certain design concepts and needs to be used in combination, its design fees and materials are more expensive than other simple furniture. At the same time, the added value of this design inspiration has no bottom line.
2. It is more troublesome to use. When we need to use a coffee table, it is likely that we need to combine various types of furniture together or lift and deform it before use. Using a coffee table is troublesome and will eventually become annoying.
3, occupied area. Transformable modular furniture such as may not occupy much area when not in use. Once used, the area required is likely to be four or five times that of the past.
4, not durable. The non-durable coffee table mentioned here refers to the kind of coffee table that is cheaper or has too many functions, which can be easily damaged or some functions cannot be used during use.
Based on the above 4 points, it is recommended that you do not buy a deformable multifunctional coffee table. If you want to buy it, you must consider the opinions of family members before deciding whether to buy it. Do not decide alone.
Conclusion
When purchasing coffee tables in the future, you must consider durability and practicality. Of course, if you are a wealthy person, you can do whatever you want, but for ordinary families, try to avoid the above situations. At the same time, it is recommended that you buy coffee tables and other other furniture. When doing so, try to experience it before deciding whether to buy it.
