A little more to the selection criteria

Material

The materials for the manufacture of pc-tables are:

• solid wood. One of the eco-friendly types of material, distinguished by its natural beauty. But it requires careful use and care. This is a more expensive type of product, which is characterized by durability, aesthetic appearance, and tactile pleasure. The top is covered with a special protective varnish layer.
• Veneer. Veneer products look attractive and beautiful. This is an alternative to expensive wood options. A thin wooden board is glued onto a cheaper base material. Such tables are much cheaper, but in appearance they do not differ from those made of solid wood.
• Metal, steel. The most durable structures are made of metal. Such tables differ in appearance from the classic ones, but their big plus is the ability to withstand significant loads and loyal cost. They have a multi-colored coating on top, which can be chosen according to taste or according to the interior.
• Glass. The same applies to environmentally friendly materials. Glass countertops are very beautiful in the interior and visually increase the space. They are resistant to excessive moisture and scratches, but require special care and additional care. Glass models are not desirable in a home with small children due to their risk of injury. Although the manufacturers provide for high impact resistance of such models.
• Plastic. Suitable for making a table top. Such a model will be lightweight, with a choice of different colors, easy to maintain, not expensive. But this material is poorly resistant to scratches and heavy loads. The operation of such a product will not be long-term.
• Chipboard. Laminated particle board. A budget option that externally imitates wooden products due to veneer coating. They can also be covered with plastic. They require accuracy, do not like moisture and mechanical damage. This is a practical, budget option that requires careful handling.
• Fiberboard - fibreboard. It is obtained by wet pressing wood fibers with various topcoats. The bottom or back walls of drawers, cabinets, pedestals are made of fiberboard.
• MDF. Wood material obtained by dry pressing of small shavings. The MDF countertop will be somewhat more expensive than laminated chipboard or fiberboard, but more environmentally friendly and more practical.

Environmental class

When using furniture, its safety is important - the level of toxicity emitted by the material.

This usually occurs due to the substances present in the composition of the material (binders) or their use in production (glue, protective layers, varnishes). Such furniture gives off an unpleasant odor and negatively affects health.

Information on the safety of furniture products will be described in the "Certificate of Conformity" accompanying the model or on the plates from which it is made.

According to the approved regulations, furniture of class E-0.5 and E-1 are considered safe. The formaldehyde level in such products is within a safe norm, compatible with life.

Dimensions

The criterion for choosing the dimensions of the table will be the possibilities of space and the requirements for it in terms of functionality.

Selection recommendations:

• The length of the tabletops varies from 90 cm to 1 m 60 cm. The longer the table, the more devices and things you can place on it.
• Width from 60 cm to 90 cm. The wider the table, the farther from the eyes you can place the monitor screen and reduce the load on them.
• The height of the table can be varied and can be adjusted using the legs. Optimal, suitable for most users - from 70 cm to 80 cm.

But if you approach this issue more carefully, then it can be calculated using a special formula, using the initial height, the average height for men and women and the indicator of 75 units.

To obtain the required table height:
user height * 75 and divide by 175 (for men) and 162 (for women).

Example: 166 cm * 75 = 12450: 162 = 76.85 cm. - a table of this height is necessary for a user's height of 1 m 66 cm.

Form matters

According to the shape, the tabletops are distinguished into:

• rectangular or linear - this is the classic version of the table, familiar to us as a written one for the student. These models can be installed in the corner of a room or against a wall. They are stable and simple.
• Rectangular with a notch in the middle. These are convenient for long-term use, because there is a possibility of simultaneous arrangement of elbows on the table. This relieves stress on the hands and they fatigue less. The large work surface can be used to place all PC accessories.
• Corner. The tabletops of such tables are made in the form of a triangle. They are designed for installation in a corner and usually do not take up much space. Convenient for placing one elbow on the surface.
• L-shaped. A kind of corner tables, one side of which is longer than the other. Or, consisting of two modules in the shape of the letter G. Such models increase the area of ​​use: there is enough space for the location of the necessary lighting fixtures, devices, office supplies, and a headset. Convenient for work both in the office and at home. But they require a lot of space. With their help, you can divide the room into zones.
• U- and T-shaped. They can be assembled from separate modules of linear tables, in the required quantity or made as a stationary model.
  Computer tables of this type are preferable in the office room, for planning meetings, meetings, collective gatherings. In household use, they are of no value in view of the inexpediency and "eating" a large area.

L- and U-shaped tables with an increased working area suggest the placement of several computer monitors or PC devices.

In shape, they can be with right angles, beveled, rounded, with straight sides, arched, with recesses in the middle part, with platforms for elbows ("armrests").

Convenience of the position of the legs in the under-dining space will be provided by a specially provided shelf-stand.

It will allow you to stretch your legs and position them at a certain height so that they can rest from a monotonous position in a bent state.

Shelves

Modern tables are equipped with different types of shelves:

• open - for quick access to things, office;
• retractable on casters - keyboard shelves;
• autonomous, retractable or stationary - with a compartment for the system unit;
• built-on - for speakers, SD, peripherals, monitor, books;
• closed - with or without a door, on casters.

They are located above, below, or to the side of the countertop.

Boxes

Drawers with or without doors are fixed on the guides and are very easy to pull out. Their silent operation during opening / closing is important.
For ease of use, such boxes are usually located on the side of the person sitting at the table.

Drawers can be designed as separate drawers. The location of this type can be changed at your discretion.

Wheels

The table legs, made in the form of wheels, provide additional convenience for moving in case of cleaning, changing its place, or other movements.

But tables with wheels are less stable than those with ordinary legs.

How much are

Prices for tables depend on the complexity of the model, its equipment, material of manufacture, additional accessories, size, functionality:

• from 1150 rub. for a simple model of a computer table "Master";
• up to RUB 104,500 for a gaming table for a computer Salli OFFICE, made of MDF, white and gray.

Manufacturers

The most famous PC table manufacturers are:

• Favorite Plus;
• Falcon;
• NAYA;
• Furniture Yard;
• Master;
• Murdes;
• Best-Furniture;
• Bitel;
• Tet Chair;
• Hoff;
• Gravitonus;
• Generic Comfort.

These are manufacturing firms whose furniture price corresponds to its quality.

What to look for - advice when choosing

Drawers will tell you about the quality of the table:

• when assembled, they should not have gaps;
• boxes made with glue or staples are less reliable than using a lock (dovetail's nest).
• there are no gaps when closed;
• opening and closing takes place without difficulty and additional effort;
• full extension.

Particular attention is required to models made of chipboard and MDF: any sections must be completely closed. The product should not have untreated visible areas.

Following these tips will help you avoid selection mistakes and subsequent frustrations in operation.

What should we build a table - table assembly

The table includes instructions for assembling it with detailed recommendations, with illustrations. With the help of it, it is possible to assemble a table with your own hands, without the involvement of specialists.

Prepare a Phillips screwdriver in advance. The simplest assembly wrenches usually come with a set of screws and plugs.

Advice:

The only contraindication to self-assembly of the table is lifting weights.
