Maintenance of Furniture

A. Tables

A table is a piece of furniture with a flat top, which can be oval, rectangular, round or may take any other shape. The commonest shape is the rectangular shape. A table top can be made of plastic laminates, metal, formica, finished wood or may even be padded.

A table has one or more legs, but tables with four legs are more common. It is usual to see tables with iron legs and sheet metal tops or made of plastic. The tables made completely of wood are very common. If a table is made of wood, it is important to emphasize that the wood must be well seasoned; that is, the excess moisture in the wood must have been dried out.
