Tree edge tables in furnishings: What does the term mean?
First and foremost, we want to clarify what tree edge tables actually are. They are usually made from a single piece of wood that retains its natural and unique structure. In contrast to mass-produced goods,Tree edge tablenot sharp-edged, but fascinating with a natural shape. Another important advantage is that the wood is treated very little or not at all, which means that exposure to chemical adhesives or other raw materials that are not good for the health of the residents can be ruled out.
How are these tables different?
The panels are made from local or exotic woods and are truly unique pieces. The table tops can be brushed and oiled or painted, which in turn affects the color (from light to dark, reddish, brownish, etc.). The end result is a timeless design that will never go out of style. The experts assume that in the next few years the focus will shift more and more to naturalness and sustainability.
What types of trees can tree edge tables be made from?
In principle, there is a large selection of different tree species that are suitable for this. The following tree species are particularly popular: (*from local forests, FSC seal certified)
– oak *
– wild oak *
– smoked oak *
– Reclaimed oak wood *
– Acacia
– Cedar
– Teak
– Mango
As you can see, the tree edge tables are made from a wide variety of local and exotic woods. Of course, various factors must be taken into account when selecting wood.
These include, for example:
1. If buyers want to focus on sustainability, they should avoid using wood from exotic countries. (for example teak or mango would then be omitted in this case)
2. The color and grain of the wood differ from tree species to tree species. So you can look for the wood that meets your needs as best as possible. Some tree species appear very calm and have almost no grain, while others are very noticeable.
3. The durability of wood plays a role for many people. For example, if you are afraid of stains on the table, you should choose a type of wood into which the stain is absorbed and is no longer visible. Alternatively, the plate can also be polished with natural and, above all, high-quality oils. According to reports from manufacturers, any color edges that appear suddenly disappear overnight; this is due to the high tannic acid content of the oak.
Tree edge tables in the furnishings: The advantages at a glance
First and foremost it iscertainly the natural lookthat appeals to people. The table tops not only look chic, they also have a pleasant feel. Anyone who has ever dealt with wood as a raw material knows that solid wood has extremely positive aspects for people and the indoor climate. Moisture can be absorbed, stored and released again when needed. That's why certain changes can be noticed after years. If, on the other hand, you buy furniture made of plywood or fiberboard, the effect is significantly less because the surface is sealed with a protective varnish.
People who want long-lasting furniture are well advised to choose tree edge tables. Regardless of whether it is scratches, stains or the like - the solid wood can withstand a lot and the surface can also be easily sanded and oiled again, even in individual areas. A tree edge table looks very elegant, especially in a modern, purist interior.
