Consider your usage needs
• Number of diners: Determine the size and seating capacity of the dining table based on the number of family members and daily dining or gathering situations. For example, a family of four can choose a four-person dining table that is 120 – 140 cm long. If you often have guests, you can consider an extendable dining table.
• Available space: Measure the area of the dining room to ensure that there is comfortable space for the dining table and enough room to move around after it’s placed. If the space is small, you can choose a table with thin legs or a foldable one. If the space is large, you can opt for a table with a stronger and heavier look.
Pay attention to the quality of the dining table
• Resin quality: High-quality epoxy resin has high transparency, is resistant to yellowing, has high hardness and good toughness, and has no bubbles, cracks or other defects after curing. You can check the product description or consult the merchant to learn about the brand, model and performance indicators of the resin.
• Wood quality: If the dining table has a solid wood part, check the dryness of the wood to avoid deformation and cracking during use, and check for problems such as insect infestation and decay to ensure that the wood grain is beautiful and natural.
• Manufacturing process: Observe whether the joint between the resin and the wood on the tabletop is tight and flat, without gaps or glue overflow. The connection between the table legs and the tabletop should be firm and the structure should be reasonable without wobbling. The surface should be finely polished, smooth to the touch, without burrs or unevenness.
Match the home style
• Style coordination: A modern minimalist style is suitable for epoxy resin dining tables with simple shapes and smooth lines. For a Chinese style, you can choose a solid wood resin table with traditional elements such as Chinese carved patterns and mortise and tenon structures. For a European style, you can choose a dining table with ornate decorations.
• Color matching: Choose according to the overall color of the dining room and the color scheme of your home. For a warm-toned dining room, you can choose a dining table with warm wood colors or bright resin colors. For a cold-toned dining room, you can choose a simple white or gray-toned dining table.
Consider your budget
• Set a budget range: Determine the budget for purchasing the dining table according to your financial situation to avoid financial pressure caused by exceeding the budget.
• Consider cost-effectiveness: Compare the prices and qualities of dining tables of different brands and styles, and choose products with higher cost-effectiveness. Don’t blindly pursue high-end brands or complicated designs. Focus on practicality and quality.
