How To Pick The Perfect Copper Top Dining Tables For Your Home

By Daphne Bowen


If you are looking for a dynamic way to decorate your home, metal items may be just what you are looking for. There are many different options available from copper top dining tables to stainless steel entertainment centers and other home furnishing items. Here is what you need to know when choosing metal top tables or other items for your home.

Metal can be a great choice for furniture but it often feels cold or industrial. It is no wonder then that copper is becoming more popular. The color itself is warmer and more inviting and tables and furniture made from this metal can fit in with a variety of different design schemes.

If you are interested in adding a Spanish or western look to your home, a table with a copper top may be a great addition to your home. You may want to look for models that have wooden bases as these can add to the piece's appeal. Just make sure that the base is well made and able to support the weight of the table top. Metal can be heavy especially if the piece is made from a thick sheet of this material.

Unlike other metals such as stainless steel, this metal will change color over time. It gradually oxidizes and ends up as a greenish color. This can be sped up if an acidic substance is applied to the metal. If you like this color, you may want to ask the manufacturer to apply the acid before they deliver your table. You can always coat the metal to prevent the color of the metal from changing and to make the surface easier to clean.

Copper can also be softer than many metals and can be scratched fairly easily. This is something to think about when you are looking at a table. If you have one with a thicker metal top on it, it may be possible to refinish the metal by buffing out scratched areas. This may not be as possible if your table has a thinner layer of metal on the top.

There are a number of options for these items. Some factors to consider when shopping include the size and shape of the top, whether it is expandable and whether the base is metal or wooden. This may affect which option you choose for your room. You need to decide whether you want a table that is very ornate or which is more simple and clean in design.

If you want to get a custom piece for your home your best bet may be to work with an artist who creates furniture. They may be able to work with you and construct a piece that suits your home's interior as well as your budget. You may want to consider whether you want your table to have individual tiles or one solid piece of metal as well as whether you want any surface treatments as well. Make sure that you speak with the artist to find out any specific care instructions as well.

Shopping online is a great way to see which options are available but may not be the best way to save money. You will want to make sure you deal with a supplier who offers high-quality tables and factor in added costs such as exchange rates and importation fees. Also look for a site that offers specific care instructions and products to help keep your table looking exactly the way you want it to.
