For small kitchens, transformer tables are excellent, which, with increasing size, provide additional space. In order to make the kitchen space look wider, you can install a transparent table, visually it will make the room more free of furniture.

For medium-sized kitchens, any table is suitable, its location will depend on the arrangement of other furniture.

2. Material. It is necessary to choose a material that is resistant to moisture, mechanical damage, not picky in care and durable. Currently most popular types are:
• Wood - the most durable material, serves for a long time, moisture resistant. No special care required. Depending on the tree, the material can be of different textures and shades, quite heavy, but easily fits into the interior, especially in the classic style.
• Rattan is a very strong and durable material, relatively light. Often, such tables are additionally covered with thick glass, which improves the performance of the product.
• Glass - light products, give the room an unusual look. They require regular and thorough care (cleaning and washing), it is also necessary to ensure that the furniture does not leak moisture, because it will be impossible to remove water later. The material is quite fragile, but its ability to create the illusion of free space is considered a definite plus.

• Laminated chipboard - it is relatively cheap, but short-lived (traces of external damage and moisture exposure quickly appear).
• Stone - Moisture or impact will not cause visible harm, durable material, durable, in addition, gives the room a certain elegance and aristocracy.
3. Design. It is necessary to take into account the general interior of the kitchen, so that the table fits in as harmoniously as possible.

The larger the area of ​​the kitchen, the greater the distance can be made. Many people prefer to set the table against the wall, opposite the work area or in the center.
