Sliding table - necessary furniture in every house

In many apartments and houses there is simply no place for a large table, but all the owners know that this furniture is really necessary. After all, guests are treated to, so in the first place, we must take care that there is a place where everyone can be seated. But a small, albeit round, table does not fit a large family or company, and overall models have nowhere to put. In this case, in any house useful sliding table.

Compact enough when folded, it can be folded, doubling in length. At the same time, the designs of modern models are such that they can be used as a daily dining table, expanding only in cases of extreme necessity. The mechanisms for unfolding most of the options are simple enough, even a schoolboy will cope with them.

Probably the most famous sliding table in the territory of the countries of the former Union is a table-book. But it is almost impossible to use it in a folded form: at best it plays the role of a curbstone or dust collectors somewhere on the balcony. In our time, many choose more modern models. For example, there is a square sliding table consisting of two countertops: one using special slots is placed under the second. When unfolding, two parts are installed side by side, and the length of the model is increased by 2 times.

No less popular is the table and an oval sliding table with an insert in the middle. 2 parts of the table top move apart, and a bar is inserted into the center, which is usually stored in a special hole between the legs. By this principle, the majority is made of both standard rectangular, and round, and oval models. By the way, it is the latter options that are most popular. Many prefer rounded tables: in them no one will sit "on the corner," and their form allows you to see all the guests, no matter where you are located.

If you have everything in the house or apartment in the same style, and you think that the classic wooden model simply does not fit into your interior, then do not despair. Designers have long developed a glass table sliding. Of course, its cost is slightly higher than that of analogues from other materials, but you have the opportunity to purchase a comfortable and functional model that fits into the style of your premises.

In general, the first sliding versions appeared in the Middle Ages. Previously, it was decided to set the table only at the beginning of the meal and collect it after its completion. In rich houses they were simply huge, often in order that all the hosts and guests of the house could accommodate, set several tables next to each other. But in the usual form for us, the sliding table appeared only in the XIX century.

By the way, the medieval collapsible variant did not become less popular even now. Tables in which you can unscrew the legs and attach the table top to the wall are often used by summer residents. The crooks can even make sure that their folding model with one side is attached to the wall and can be reclined if necessary.
