Extendable wooden console: here is everything you need to know about this furniture.
What is the reason why wooden consoles are among the best-selling and most sought-after furniture on the market? An extensible console table represents the perfect meeting point between a dining table and the classic console tables. For this reason, this furniture can be used both as a TV, vase and knick-knacks support, and alternatively as an entrance console for your home: thanks to its expandable top, an extendable console can also be transformed into a dining table if necessary.
The particularity of an extendable console table lies in its hybrid nature: the key to its commercial success is certainly its multifunctionality, a truly important and in some ways fundamental requirement for contemporary homes, especially for those living contexts characterised by particularly limited space.
The entrance of a house or flat is probably the most complex environment to furnish. This space is often and willingly left for last, although it represents in a way the business card and the first impression one has of a house.
An entrance can be characterised by different conformations: there can be a particularly small entrance or an entrance with a corridor culminating in the living area.
A wooden console is a transversal piece of furniture that can be particularly useful in both of the above mentioned conformations.
Multifunctionality is the main feature of a console. The functions of this furniture are as follows:
Because of its functions the console is the perfect mix between a furnishing element and an extendable table.
A console table, as widely argued above, must be a piece of furniture designed to express maximum practicality and usefulness. A model able to fully express these characteristics is the Asya Premium Console.
This design console occupies an absolutely limited space when closed (just 90 centimetres and 40 centimetres deep). Simple and practical moves are enough to position the extensions and obtain a table with a maximum length of 3 metres, depending on requirements.
The top and extensions of this console table are made with Folding (Premium version) in natural oak finish. The Folding type extensions conceal the mechanism when the table is extended.
On the market today it is possible to buy consoles made with the help of different types of wood: rough wood consoles, solid wood consoles, or for antique lovers antique wooden consoles.
Regardless of the material with which it has been made, an extensible wooden console table is nowadays an indispensable piece of furniture, especially for houses or apartments with limited dimensions.
An extendable console table can be used simply as an entrance console or alternatively it can be arranged inside the living room, without taking up a large amount of space. If necessary, the furniture can be transformed into a practical dining table on which you can seat your guests for lunch or dinner.
The extendable consoles are equipped with different extensions so that it is possible to extend the table according to the different needs, with the capacity to hold up to 16 seats at the table.
Extending a console table is extremely simple: with a few moves you can open the table, sliding the respective guides to extend its surface and positioning the extensions in the centre.
Because of its ease of use and functionality, the console table is a must-have piece of furniture.
Some people wonder why this furniture is mainly made of wood. To answer this question, it should be immediately pointed out that wood is a totally natural material characterised by a series of important advantages.
Obviously the eye also wants its part: wooden furniture is extremely pleasing from an aesthetic point of view: the natural colour of the wood is extremely warm and reassuring. Wood is also a particularly resistant material that can be preserved for a long time, even for more than a century.
We could define wood as the evergreen material of the furniture industry. Since ancient times an important use has been made of this material for the production of furniture, furnishings and even houses. Finally, wood is a material capable of expressing its ancient charm and at the same time able to adapt to the style and lines of modern and contemporary furniture.
As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the consoles are now made with the help of different types of wood: let's see specifically which ones:
Solid wood is the wood that is extracted from the heart of the tree and not from its bark. This material is used to produce furniture without undergoing any kind of treatment or processing whatsoever. For this reason solid wood is a very valuable material.
One of the greatest qualities of solid wood is its aesthetic appearance, which enhances the natural knots that characterise wood. With time, solid wood tends to change its colour, darkening and becoming even more beautiful and elegant.
The acronym MDF stands for Medium Density Fibreboard, or medium density wood fibreboard. These brushes are composed of particularly fine wood fibres, assembled and bonded together with adhesive materials that make the structure particularly compact.
MDF panels differ from plywood or chipboard panels in that they have the advantage that they can be processed like solid wood, avoiding crumbling of other materials.
The ennobled wood is a wooden structure composed of chipboard which is in turn covered on the outside with a melamine film (a special plastic material). Characteristic of melamine-faced wood is its great resistance and the possibility of being varnished and lacquered.
An important advantage of melamine-faced wood is its low cost on the market, as well as its ability not to get stained, not to scratch easily and to be able to resist the action of humidity and water in an optimal way. For these reasons, melamine wood is a material particularly used for the production of furniture and furnishing accessories.
