Manufacturing countries
Of course, in any more or less developed country there are a lot of companies that produce furniture and its components. After all, such production is not so complicated. However, this is not the quality indicator.
Leading furniture brands cherish their reputation. Their income depends on it. Therefore, a serious company never allows defects in its products.
Companies you can trust
A table with an elegant frame from the Italian company Potocco.
From my own experience, I can recommend the following brands to you:
- In Italy, good furniture is produced by the following companies: Bistro, Armani Casa, Potocco, Inox, Tonda, Easy.
- In Germany, high-quality furniture is made by companies: Cosmo, Metro, Resta, Forum.
- There are a lot of furniture companies in Poland. One of them is the manufacturer Wiktor.
Furniture production is most widely developed in Russia. There is the simplest explanation for this - after all, we have the largest forest areas.
Modern shaped table from the Domoteka company.
The most famous furniture companies in Russia, including underframes:

Aesthetic qualities
Table frames produced by leading companies come in both traditional and modern styles. Thanks to this, they pair well with all types of countertops. This makes it possible to choose furniture that will harmoniously fit into an interior decorated in any style.
Forged bases are especially valued.
The catalogs of the best furniture factories present all possible design options for metal frames. From openwork cast iron and iron forging to ultra-modern chrome plating of its surface.
Furniture factories do not forget about the current shapes of products. Most often they produce the following types of table bases:
- square;
- rectangular;
- round;
- oval;
- triangular;
- polygonal;

A round frame is very difficult to make on your own.
This variety of shapes makes it possible to combine frames with a variety of types of countertops, ultimately achieving harmony in a given interior design.

Today I'm not talking about clean coloring. It was necessary to make simple brackets for motorcycle glass - simple turning work with powder coating. I selected 14 specialized companies from Moscow and the Moscow region online and sent out preliminary requests. Four sent refusals, only two gave prices. After the repeated mailing, another “through clenched teeth” added a refusal. The rest - keep quiet! “Nayad” immediately confirmed the readiness, clarified the drawings, gave a price, which was then kept in production. The order was completed efficiently and quickly - three days. Payment is offered in any form upon receipt of finished products. In my opinion, this is an example of a proper attitude to the work of a modern enterprise: attention to the customer, accuracy in fulfilling obligations, any specialized order is accepted and fulfilled, even if it does not promise a one-time large profit. Thank you, keep it up, good luck in business! With this approach, a great future awaits you!

I definitely recommend Naiad! We ordered a frame for a fireplace from them according to our own standards - they did everything quickly, then painted it with powder paint, we didn’t have to take it anywhere else. The price is reasonable and the quality is high, which made me happy.

Types of kitchen tables
This information will help you make the right choice in a particular case. Everyone will be able to really evaluate the advantages and benefits of the models, the technological complexity of the manufacturing process, and compare them with their capabilities. Models and sizes must correspond to the general furnishing style of the existing premises of the apartment or house, the size of the kitchen or dining room and the number of family members.
| Dining table type | Brief description of technology and performance characteristics |
Folding | Recommended for very small kitchens, and these are found in Khrushchev-era apartment buildings. The dimensions of the room do not allow the installation of human furniture; the owners have to come up with various models that, when assembled, take up minimal space. In developed countries, such tables cannot be found in residential premises; this is a unique invention of our compatriots, who are forced to huddle in apartments with extremely limited space. The tabletop with two legs is attached to the wall with hinges and, when assembled, is located in a vertical position. If you need to use a table, the tabletop is raised, two legs are placed on the floor and support one edge, the other hangs on hinges. |
Folding | Today these models are called transformers, but the meaning and engineering solutions do not change. When assembled, tables resemble long narrow bedside tables and are installed near the wall. When disassembled, dining tables are relatively large and can seat eight or more people. Quite a good option for small kitchens, the disadvantage is that the presence of additional vertical elements significantly reduces the comfort of being at the table; it is uncomfortable to sit at it, your legs rest against counters and partitions. |
Retractable | Such designs can hardly be called full-fledged tables; they are rather separate tabletops with two legs. When not in use, the tabletop slides into existing furniture in the kitchen, and during lunch it is pulled out and used for its intended purpose. |
Freestanding | Traditional dining tables are distinguished by high comfort parameters, a wide variety of design solutions, and different sizes. A wide selection of models, materials of manufacture and linear dimensions makes the tables universal; they are often installed not only in kitchens or dining rooms, but also in large halls. |
When choosing a specific model, it is recommended not to rush, but to carefully analyze all the existing features of the room and really weigh the desires and possibilities.
Welding and threaded connection
If elements are welded, the contacting surfaces must first be cleaned with a file, removing scale, rust, and dirt. If an old water pipe is used, it is better to completely brush it with a wire brush before starting welding work, removing paint residues. When making a frame, the ends of the pipes can be cut at an angle of 45°, corner welded joints can be made, and then a closed structure will be obtained. The legs are usually welded to the frame with a T-joint. It is important to select electrodes of a suitable diameter for welding; it can be equal to the thickness of the pipe walls or slightly thinner (for steel pipes with a thickness of 2 mm, an electrode with a diameter of 1.5 mm is suitable). During the welding process, it is necessary to periodically remove slag, which reduces the strength of the weld. After finishing the work, the welding seam must be smoothed using a file or grinder.
For threaded connections of profile pipes, special clamps are best suited; they have holes for fasteners, and there is no need to drill the pipes. If metal corners are used for connections, holes are drilled in the pipes for bolts and screws. Hollow pipes are connected with bolts and nuts. If self-tapping screws are used, wooden bushings are hammered into the ends of the pipes and screws are screwed into them. Before attaching the tabletop, the frame must be cleaned of rust, polished and painted; it is advisable to additionally treat the welding seams with a composition to protect against corrosion.
It is very convenient to make frame blanks from an aluminum profile on a Monticelli multifunctional machine; it allows you to cut the pipe at the desired angle, drill holes for fasteners, and cut out shaped cutouts with a punch. Corner connectors of the same brand are used to assemble the frame.
