A trestle table is a great investment that you can use in so many different ways. There are a lot more uses for a trestle table than simply as a dining room table. When shopping for furniture for your entire house, keep the versatile trestle table in mind. Trestle tables come in all shapes and sizes, so no doubt you can find just what you’ve been looking for.
These tables work surprisingly well in the business place. Buy the biggest size to use as a conference table or pick out a smaller size table to use as a tasteful, personal desk that really makes a statement. A four by six foot table in a walnut or maple finish or even a lacquer, white or black finish, becomes the perfect desk for your office space. A trestle table is solid and inviting and having one in your workspace attributes to you, an appearance of success, stability and power.
Bring in a short bookcase and stock it with matching, attractive wicker baskets to hold all of your office supplies and files and you’re all set. You’ll definitely stand out from the rest of the office crowd.
You’d do well to keep a table around for those times when you have a lot of guests in your home. Bring a longer, narrower table into your kitchen or dining room to use as extra counter space or a breakfast table. If you want a makeshift bar, choose a table with longer legs, add some bar stools and you’re ready to have friends in for the big game.
Artists, writers and other creative types have long used trestle tables in their work, simply because they provide so much workspace. Libraries, too, are big fans of the trestle table. Because they tend to be well-made and solid, can hold a lot of weight and take a lot of abuse, yet, these tables never seem to wear out.
Most people would avoid having a large table in their dining room for only two or three people. Many families use a smaller dining table on a day-to-day basis and keep a larger table on hand for special occasions. In this way, they can accommodate those birthday parties, weddings, funerals and holidays that come up throughout the year. You can even take your table out onto a patio for a summer barbeque.
If you store your table top in a climate-controlled space such as under a bed or in a large closet, your table will not suffer from heat or moisture exposure and will remain in good condition so that it can be passed down to your children one day.
