Something you do not know about conference tables

It is reported that managers spend at least 35% of their time to attend a meeting. A pleasant meeting room can promote fantastic debates, idea generation and effectiveness of an meeting. Conference table, as one of the most important furniture for a meeting room, is need to be selected carefully. The material of meeting table is a key point in choosing a conference table. Different material will give people different feelings. The conference table can be divided into panel conference tables and solid wood conference table according to different material.

 

Panel conference tables

Panel conference table refers to the assembly and disassembly combined conference table with wood-based panel as the main substrate and panel as the basic structure. Common man-made boards include plywood, blockboard, particleboard, MDF, etc.

Plywood conference table

Plywood is also widely used in office furniture. It has the advantages of large format, small thickness, beautiful wood grain, flat surface, good dimensional stability, high strength and easy processing. Because of these benefits, people like to use plywood to make office furniture products such as panel file cabinet, drawer bottom plate, meeting chair and panel conference table. Plywood is often used to make conference tables that need to be bent and deformed due to its features of easy processing. At the same time, there are two aspects need to be pay attention to:

 

• Because of the adhesive layer, the cutting tool is easy to become blunt during sawing. Pay attention to this.
• Slightly thinner plywood is easy to bend and deform. When using it, we should make reasonable use of the appropriate structure to improve or eliminate it.

 

Blockboard

Blockboard is what we often call big core board, it is widely used in the application of office furniture. The performance of joinery board is sometimes affected by the board core material.

Next, let's talk about how blockboard is applied to office furniture. Because Blockboard has sufficient raw materials, it can also make full use of short materials. Many advantages like low cost, great quality and extensive use make it win the favor of many furniture manufacturers. Many other industries like office furniture production, building decoration and sewing machine platen are using Blockboard as high-quality plate raw materials. Blockboard is more convenient for office furniture, and its processing technology and production process are not too complex. It is much simpler than those furniture made of fiberboard or particleboard.

 

Particleboard 

Particleboard is the wood-based panel synthesized by adhesive under the action of heat and pressure, also known as particleboard. This kind of material is loose, it is only used for low-end conference table. It is mainly used in the furniture construction industry and the manufacture of trains and cars.

Advantages of particleboard

1. It has good sound absorption and sound insulation performance；
2. Good lateral bearing capacity.
3. The surface is flat, the thickness error is small, and it is resistant to pollution and aging. It can be painted and veneered；
4. The price is cheap.

 

Disadvantages of particleboard

1. It is easy to cause tooth burst during plate cutting, so some processes have high requirements for processing equipment and are not easy to make on-site；
2. Very poor strength. Generally, it is not suitable for large-scale furniture or furniture with mechanical requirements；
3. The interior is granular structure, which is not easy to mill.

 

 

Solid wood conference table

Solid wood conference table refers to pure solid wood conference table, that is, all materials are natural materials without reprocessing, and no man-made board is used. Pure solid wood conference table has high requirements for technology and material. The requirements for material selection, drying, finger joint and splicing of solid wood are very strict. If the control of any process is not strict, there will be cracks and loose joints in the small process, and the whole set of conference table will be deformed and even unusable.

Pros and cons of solid wood conference table

Pros:

1. Natural and environmentally friendly.The amount of glue used in the processing and production of natural wood is very little compared with that of board. The amount of glue directly affects the level of environmental protection；
2. With the function of preserving value, it can bring natural flavor to the home. Generally, the beautiful patterns of wood can be seen on the material surface, which is deeply welcomed by medium and high-end consumers；
3. Long service life, which can be used for about 15 to 20 years, generally 5 times that of other panel furniture.

Cons:

1. Due to the different texture, soft hardness of each batten, the surface of each batten is uneven, and the phenomenon after painting is sometimes obvious;
2. If the horizontal joint quality is poor, there will be obvious horizontal joint; If the transverse strength is not enough, it is easy to crack at the glue joint。
