How to create a personalised table with top and legs

Creating a personalised table with a wooden top allows you to make your furnishing ideas concrete.

We have to choose the table for our kitchen or our living room and maybe we have already seen different models in different materials, but we have not yet been able to find the right table for us. The solution could be summarised in a slogan like "Create your own table", which, at least for many people, might seem like an impossible task. Let's find out together why this is not the case.

DIY wooden table, can it be built?

Do we have to have carpentry skills to create our custom table? The answer is no: it is true that knowledge in the field and adequate equipment can allow us to build a table (and also many other pieces of furniture), but it is also true that there are solutions that allow us to create furnishing tables according to our personal taste even without particular technical skills.

So, as much as it is always possible to start from the raw material and build from scratch all the elements of a table (which is not an easy task and can also require a lot of time and a lot of work) and there is also the possibility of contacting a professional in the construction of made-to-measure furniture (in this case the result will certainly be excellent, but you have to consider a very high cost), there is a third way, simple and with a good quality/price ratio.

Personalised table combining legs and top

The possibility of combining legs and top really allows you to create an absolutely made-to-measure table. First of all, as far as the shape is concerned: in fact, this is the first characteristic to be considered when creating a table, considering in which environment the table will be placed, what space you have available and what you normally use the table for.

For example, the round top is very elegant, but often risks occupying too much space and should therefore be avoided in case of limited space. The rectangular top, on the other hand, is more flexible: there are various sizes available, ranging from the most limited to the largest (able to comfortably accommodate up to 12 people). Moreover, it is also possible to make use of the top's custom-made cutting service: just choose the wood essence and finish, the shape and size of the top to obtain a result that corresponds to your needs. And if we are looking for an innovative result, we could orient ourselves on a HPL plated top with tile effect: a rectangular, solid and of the right thickness, which is perfect for a modern furnishing.

After choosing the shape and size of the top, as well as its finish and colour (and there are many available, so it is easy to match the top with different furnishing styles), the time comes to choose the legs that make up the scaffolding. The choice is influenced not only by one's taste but also by the shape and size of the top: if, in fact, the most suitable choice for a round top is that of a single central foot, when the top is rectangular and large in size it is better to orient oneself on a top provided with a double support, spaced so as to guarantee maximum balance to the top.

An excellent choice in this sense is represented by the Nerviano Base in Satined Steel, equipped with a solid cast iron base and adjustable feet, to adapt to any unevenness of the floor.

Just choose good quality materials and let your imagination run wild to find the perfect match between table top and legs.
