Preface:

Modern people’s living standards are getting higher and higher, and their families are becoming more and more tasteful.

Many people like to put some exquisite furniture in their homes to make the decoration of their homes more beautiful. As one of the important furniture in the living room, the coffee table is naturally favored by everyone. Many people are particularly particular when choosing a coffee table, hoping to buy a coffee table that suits their home decoration style. However, there are many types of coffee tables on the market, and the quality varies. Consumers are easily misled when buying, and may even be deceived and buy coffee tables of poor quality, which brings inconvenience to their lives. Therefore, today I will talk to you about buying coffee tables, especially what issues you need to pay attention to when buying coffee tables, and which coffee tables are absolutely not recommended to buy.

Reasons for not recommending to buy a coffee table

Prone to moisture and mold

Coffee tables are usually placed in the living room, and as an important activity area in the home, the humidity is usually relatively high. Some inferior coffee tables are easily affected by moisture and mold, which not only affects the appearance, but also poses a certain threat to the health of the family.

Short service life

Some inferior coffee tables have certain problems in material and workmanship. Although they may not look noticeable in appearance, after a period of use, cracks and deformations will appear, seriously affecting their service life.

Potential safety hazards

Some low-quality coffee tables often have safety hazards during use, such as uneven legs and unstable structure. If they are accidentally touched during use, they can easily break or injure family members.

Affects the overall aesthetics of the home

As an important decoration in the living room, the coffee table is placed in a very conspicuous position. A good coffee table can not only add color to the home, but also serve as the finishing touch. A poor-quality coffee table not only fails to beautify the home, but also casts a shadow on the entire home space, affecting the overall beauty.

When buying a coffee table, it is recommended not to buy these 5 types

Solid wood coffee table

Many people like to choose solid wood coffee tables when buying coffee tables, thinking that solid wood coffee tables are more environmentally friendly and have good appearance. However, solid wood coffee tables are also more susceptible to moisture and deformation, especially some solid wood coffee tables made of spliced ​​logs, which are easily affected by ambient temperature and humidity, resulting in cracking, deformation and other problems.

Composite solid wood coffee table

The composite solid wood coffee table is made of multiple layers of thin wood boards that are glued and pressurized. It has good stability, but in a humid environment, it still cannot avoid the problem of moisture and mold. Once quality problems occur, it is difficult to repair and the service life is short.

European style coffee table

The design of European coffee tables is usually more complicated, and they may be inlaid with some precious gems or agates. Such coffee tables are not only expensive, but also require a lot of thought in the later maintenance. Once quality problems occur, it is difficult to repair them.

Special-shaped coffee table

Special-shaped coffee tables may have some special shapes in design, such as spiral, triangle, etc. Such coffee tables not only have certain problems in production difficulty, but also it is difficult to find a suitable angle to place them in actual use, which affects the actual use experience.

Glass coffee table

The glass coffee table is indeed very beautiful and very suitable for some simple and modern style home decoration, but the glass material is relatively fragile. Once it is hit, it is easy to break, posing certain safety hazards to the family.

When purchasing a coffee table, consumers must keep their eyes open and not be misled by some exaggerated promotional words. They should make choices based on the actual situation of their home and the material and workmanship of the coffee table. They can choose some environmentally friendly and durable metal coffee tables or marble coffee tables. This will add color to their home environment and bring a better user experience.
