Here are some tips to choose the dining table.

• Fit the size according to the room

The dining table is part of the furniture that will be used to fill the room, so he should fit with the room where he is placed. Choose the size of the dining table according to the room space. Too large  table may interfere with the resident's ability to do their activities. The round shape is a more suitable choice for the small space since it is more compact and less spacious. While the rectangular or oval is more proper to the big room since it helps to fill the room. There are also some models with extensions that give us flexibility to adjust the table with the room space and activities needed.

• Choose the proper finish.

A dining table is an object to hold many physical activities. The top of the table will be used to put the food and cutlery and as a place for the meal activities. The food placed on the table could be hot, cold, greasy, or contain chemicals that could ruin the finish. Since that, the finishing layer of the dining table, especially at the top part, must be strong enough to withstand the food chemicals and the physical activities thereon.

The PU or acid-curing finishes are the good choices for the dining table. They are the catalyzed finish that is resistant to heat, water, chemicals, and food ingredients. The solvent dry finishing layer, such as shellac, varnish, NC, or water-based, can also be used, but they will be more easily damaged, and we may consider doing refinishing after a certain time.

• Consider the caring and cleaning.

The dining table is the object that needs to be frequently cleaned. There must be some leftover food or beverage that falls on the surface of the table. The dining table must be cleaned up immediately because the leftovers could invite the fungi, bacteria, or small animals to come. Make sure we choose the dining table that can be easily cleaned up. Avoid the textured form top since it can hold some food and is difficult to clean.
