Table legs you can find
Taking into account everything we have mentioned above, you should know that table legs are essential and one of the most precise and thoughtful choices you will have to make to design a custom-made table. There are different types depending on the use and place where the table is to be placed, so you should pay close attention to all the available options to finally find the one that adequately completes your project.
Dining Table Legs
The dining room is often the heart and soul of any home. Where, quite simply, the most important things in a home happen. This is why the design of a dining table requires perfect precision and excellent results.
They should be robust, strong, spacious, comfortable, lightweight, functional… And, obviously, the table legs are a part that must be selected with great care.
They should blend in with the rest of the decor, allow good interaction between diners, have its own place in the dining room…
So look, compare and think about what that customer needs in that room and with that particular table.
The set of two rectangular legs SQUARE that we offer you at Emuca, for example, allow to optimise the space to the maximum and diners can seat in total comfort and, in addition, give a modern design and image to the set. There are other types, such as the two legs Cross model with a cross design, which are really practical.
Legs for desks
As for the desk legs, there are as many varieties as there are colours. They must be robust, stable and have the appropriate measurements to reach the required height for a comfortable position during working hours.
But, in addition to their practicality and comfort, you should also choose them for their beautiful designs. Since they can be integrated into the decoration of the room, they can be a wonderful choice.
At Emuca we offer different models. For example, the Hairpin 3 rod leg set, with multi-purpose functionality.
Table legs for children
Children’s tables have many particularities that have to be taken into account. They must be very strong since they will receive many blows, they should be lower than normal and, in addition, they should be round or have rounded corners to avoid blows that could lead to a trip to the emergency room or an unpleasant time for the family. In addition, children’s table legs have to be small and very functional, that allows them to be comfortable while doing their homework and do not interfere with their different activities.
Different materials for table legs
Since the legs should match the design of the table and all the other requirements we mentioned above, the material with which the table legs are made also plays an important role. And, of course, they can be as diverse and varied as you like.
As a general rule, the most practical and widely used are:
- Iron legs
- Wood legs
- Steel legs
- Aluminium legs
Other inspirational ideas
The current trend is towards natural, wild decoration, reminiscent of nature. For this, to use natural or recycled treated materials, is a great idea for a table design.
Wood, wicker, bamboo or jute are resistant, practical and also very aesthetical. And they bring brightness, comfort and warmth to the furniture and the room in which they are placed.
So let your imagination run wild and combine it with your experience to create the ideal made to measure furniture that will captivate and delight your customers.
