IKEA does not use toxic materials in its production. Even the most budget options are made of natural wood - solid pine or solid birch. Glass tabletops are made of tempered glass, which ensures their durability.
The main concept of IKEA is simplicity and functionality, so among the products you cannot see furniture with complex carvings or bizarre shapes. All models are minimalistic, with a simple design, without elaborate decorative elements.
Choosing an option for a modern interior among them will not be difficult. The classic style also has a couple of successful solutions - round tables Ingatorp or Bjursta.

Expert opinion
Romanova Ksenia Petrovna
Interior design expert and fabric store manager
A small round glass table in a small kitchen will seem invisible. In combination with transparent plastic chairs, this is an excellent option for visually expanding the space.
- A medium-sized kitchen of 9-12 sq.m is a common option in modern apartments and new buildings.
Here you can accommodate a medium-sized dining table for 4 people, for example, Ingatorp.
The best solution would be to choose a model with a round tabletop to comfortably accommodate all household members.
Dining groups
The sets of IKEA tables and chairs presented in the photo selections offer various design solutions for placing a dining area in the kitchen, living room, or glassed-in loggia.
Well-designed models with a ready-made option for combining a table with 2, 4 or 6 chairs are implemented both in the discreet laconicism of the signature monochrome (black, white, beige) and in fashionable color contrasts, using original combinations of metal, glass, plastic and wood.
The rectangular configuration is well suited for use in long, narrow spaces. This option can also be an ideal zoning tool in combined rooms.
Square and round countertops are a fashionable choice for small rooms and cozy, private nooks.
Ikea kitchen tables: what models are there and how do they differ?
The review of Ikea kitchen tables, which you can read below, will help you choose just such a dining table that will ideally suit the interior of the kitchen and create a comfortable dining area. Each of the presented models has its own individuality, purpose and functionality.
This category includes:
- IKEA kitchen tables;
- IKEA bar tables;
- IKEA extendable tables;
- white kitchen tables from IKEA;
- IKEA wall folding tables;
- IKEA round dining tables.
There is little variation in the materials of Ikea kitchen tables: the manufacturer sells tables made of wood, glass, and combined materials. Let's study in more detail which models of kitchen tables are presented in stores and on the Ikea website, and also get acquainted with the general parameters, existing sizes and colors.
So, one of the most popular, so-called family models is the Ikea Bursta sliding table. Moreover, you can purchase it in two versions: a round sliding table and a rectangular sliding table from IKEA.
Available in black and white colors. When assembled, round tables have a diameter of 115 cm, rectangular tables when assembled are 140 cm, and when unfolded they range from 180 cm to 220 cm.
Another popular model of a round extendable table from IKEA is Ingatorp, the table diameter is 115 cm when assembled. A variation of the rectangular INGATORP model is tables with folding edges, available in black, brown and white.
A budget and very discreet model of the IKEA Melthorp table (colors: white, light mocha, surface: melamine coating). These tables can be washed and are easy to care for. But we note that they are compact and do not fold out; they belong to the category of wall tables, so their maximum capacity is 3 people.
As an option, rectangular wooden kitchen tables Terendo (black, length 110, width 67) and Ingu (color: natural wood, including table legs; length 120 cm, width 75 cm) are also suitable for a small kitchen.
Other models of kitchen tables: folding Norden - equipped with drawers (colors: brown, white, black); glass kitchen table Alsta - discreet minimalism for a Scandinavian interior; a series of white rectangular tables Thorsby, Leharmn, Olmsted, Sutrnes, Lisabo, Morbilonga, round Bilsta; table attached to the Norberg wall; for lovers of unusual furniture there is even a table with two tabletops - Ikea Bilsta.
Tables with metal legs can be divided into a separate category - from combined materials, since both wood and metal are present: Ikea Rydebakk, Kullaberg, Ovraryd.
Separately, the manufacturer offers to purchase tabletops and underframes (the basis for the tabletops).
Adjustable height
Transformable tables with lifting mechanisms presented in the Bekant line differ not only in the quality of the fittings, but also in terms of strength and load-carrying capacity.
The height range in different models starts from 65 cm, reaching a maximum position at 85 and 125 cm.
Minuses
Despite the fact that these days customers are offered a wide variety of book-tables, it cannot be said that they are very popular.
This is due to a number of reasons: Low quality. High-quality assembly of a table-book is rarely seen today. If in Soviet times a similar model could be purchased without fear that it would fall apart in a couple of weeks, now when purchasing it one must take into account a lot of factors: the material of the case, the type of fittings, the presence of coating, etc.
High price. You can find high quality transforming tables in stores, but they are available to only 10% of the population. Moderately priced options are also available. They look attractive, but are not strong. There is a third group of such furniture - its representatives belong to the economy class. Their main drawback is low reliability.
Standardization. Originality is a feature inherent exclusively in expensive tables made from quality materials. It is extremely difficult to purchase an exclusive product. The modern market is overflowing with cheap standard tables that are as similar to each other as two peas in a pod.
