Worktops of non-sliding modules are mainly used as a work area.

The transforming element allows, if necessary, to increase the useful area of the base. Raising and lowering countertops is provided by furniture hinges.
The cabinet table can be equipped with one or two lifting worktops. Two countertops enhance the functionality of transformer furniture. One raised part forms a spacious working area, two spread-out worktops transform the cabinet into a full dining table. However, tables with one lift wing have a more stable and reliable design.
Another variation is the model of the table-tables with two separate countertops. Structurally, the furniture is a kitchen cabinet, inside of which a sliding module with a worktop made in the form of a cutting board is placed.
The typical size of the transformer cabinet when folded is:
- height - 85 cm.,
- depth - 60 cm
- width - 30-80 cm.
The dimensions of the table-stand when unfolded increase, depending on the design, by 2-3 times.

Support legs - types of structures

The supports can be made in the form of a folding structure connected to the frame by means of hinges, or represent additional legs that are supplied. In the first case, the role of the connecting element between the frame and the support is played by a horizontal bar. This design significantly increases the stability and strength of the furniture when unfolded. In the second version, on the back of the lifting wing of the countertop, a special clamp is provided for attaching the leg-support.

A side table with drawers in a small kitchen allows you to optimize the space. One small piece of furniture embodies several complete functional modules at once - a kitchen cabinet, cutting or dining table, while occupying a minimum amount of usable area. A variety of design solutions, materials and textures allows you to choose the perfect furniture for your kitchen!
TV stand in a new interpretation
Modern modifications of the cabinet are primarily associated with technological progress, and in particular the introduction of TV, and then digital technology in home appliances.
Televisions, music centers and home cinemas are the usual equipment for living rooms and special corners in the house, designed for relaxation and communication of family and friends. Nowadays, not only living rooms, but almost all rooms are equipped with appliances: kitchen, bedroom, children's room and bathroom.
If the interior of an apartment or house is fully equipped with targeted furniture sets, additional equipment is fixed on special shelves or suspensions, minimally changing the overall interior of the room.
But such cases are becoming less and less every day. The expanding furniture market offers consumers more and more new solutions, and most prefer to make periodic and partial interior updates, refusing to purchase multi-sectional and bulky furniture sets.
Manufacturers also do not lag behind the market order: ready-made headsets are becoming more compact, are made in modular versions with a neutral design, which can successfully fit additional interior items.
Speakers and monitors need not only to be placed in a place convenient for the eyes and ears, but also to find a stable place for them, with easy access for dusting. To equip a modern living room or sitting area, you just need to purchase a set of upholstered furniture and a stand for appliances.
The photo shows models of modern cabinets that effectively combine in one space with upholstered furniture and bedroom sets, not merging, but only shading the specifics of two different design solutions.
The TV stand in a separate form is widely represented on the market, you can choose the right model from a variety of ready-made offers, or make an individual order. In models designed specifically for video and audio equipment, in addition to special drawers for the video library, devices are provided for masking the connection wires.
There are also options with lockable doors for monitors and screens. Therefore, it is important that not only the color and dimensions, but also other design features of the purchased equipment correspond to the dimensions of the cabinet.
Modern TV cabinets play not only the role of delivery. These are capacious closed drawers and open racks of wide purpose. In the modern version, the long, in some cases, the entire wall, stand with additional wall shelves is an invested version of the furniture wall, fashionable at the end of the last century.
Strict rectangular shapes of floor stands or slightly raised on the surface of the cabinets give visual volatility to the furniture. Compact corner cabinets for TVs with large monitors not only save space, but also significantly expand the viewing capabilities from various points of the room.
The contents of the cabinets used to house the equipment can vary infinitely. Traditionally, a bar is located in a hotel cupboard under the TV, there is also a special box for family albums and an archive of documents, but there can also be closed segments for linen and clothes, or glass shelves for exquisite crystal and porcelain.
Thanks to the design features, cabinets or a series of cabinets in the living room are not only well equipped with different styles, but also involve modular expansion. There is also a wide possibility of rearranging individual segments, using them both in the floor position and hanging them at different levels.
The main furniture trends for appliances are elongated and slightly raised models above the floor. There is a wide selection of two-tone contrast solutions. The combination of white, black and wooden color successfully fit the cabinets into the finished interiors. Entirely white models give visual airiness to the space.
Designers also experiment by combining glass, gloss and matte surfaces in one product, giving the cabinets a stylish look and at the same time increasing the ergonomic parameters of hotel furniture.

The head desk should look solid, as it is a symbol of status. Among office workers there is an unwritten rule: the higher the position of the owner of the table, the more expensive should be his desk. An important selection criterion is the thickness of the countertop. Furniture made of cheap chipboard is suitable only for ordinary office employees. The head table can be made of solid oak, beech, walnut or cherry. It is better to give preference to dark shades.
Modern manufacturers offer many varieties of office desks for executives. A straight rectangular table is the most popular model. It is easy to operate, characterized by strength and stability. In order to make the table more functional, it is fashionable to supplement it with a mobile stand with drawers. If necessary, with its help you can easily expand the work surface.
Selection tips
