Compact computer tables today are presented in a variety of modifications. Each model of such furniture has its own individual characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Varieties of small computer tables, producing modern manufacturers, can be classified as follows.

Straight lines

Direct computer tables are the most common and close to the classics. As a rule, such models are distinguished by a concise appearance and structure devoid of non-standard elements. However, it should be noted that rectangular tables are often equipped with shelves and drawers, which makes them more functional and convenient to use.

The design of such furniture is presented in the form of a stand under the monitor and a special sliding field for the keyboard.

Today, such instances in which there are side shelves (retractable and static) are very popular. They often put the printer and other office equipment.

Corner

Small tables of this modification appeared relatively recently. Most often they have a g-shaped structure.Because of its non-standard design, such a table is not recommended to be placed in the central part of the room. The best and most optimal place for a corner table is a free corner in the room. Many consumers choose such furniture due to the fact that it perfectly saves free space.

Due to the angular structure, the tabletops for such models are extended and more items can be placed on them. For example, it can be not only a monitor, but also any media devices, a printer, a scanner and other similar objects.

Monitors on such tables are often located in the corner, so before buying such furniture you should make sure that such an organization of the workplace is suitable for you.

Diagonal

The design of small diagonal tables assumes that the user will sit a little diagonally, and his face will be directed to the corner part of the furniture. Similarly, the workplace is organized in the corner models.

If you decide to purchase a diagonal computer desk, then you should know that it will be very convenient to sit at it, because sitting at a similar design, Your back and neck will not be overloaded. In addition, there will be enough free space under the table (on the right and left side). Most often they place the system unit or special pillars with shelves and drawers.

Perpendicular

Small computer tables of perpendicular design are perhaps the most functional. As a rule, users sit down behind such models diagonally (facing the wall, with their backs to the window). Externally, these options do not seem too compact, even if their natural size is small.

Folding

Also, modern computer tables of small sizes differ from each other in their designs and mechanisms (if any). For example, the popular folding option has the function of adjusting the height of the table top. In some advanced instances, you can also change the angle of the table. Due to such useful properties, high-quality folding table can easily use people of any height and build.

Mobile

The category of mobiles includes modern computer desks of small sizes on wheels.Such furniture can be very easily rearranged to a new place, injuring the floor finish. Mobile tables are reliable. During the movement, you can not worry that the computer will fall from the tabletop.

Cantilevered

Convenient console tables are easy to use. They can even be installed on the wall. For this, a similar structure together with the table top is mounted with special shelves directly to the wall surface. Such instances may have in their structure a superstructure and a large number of open shelves.

As a rule, such planes make it possible to place not only computer equipment, but also various trifles on them. Choosing such an interesting table, it should be noted that It will look harmonious only in a modern interior.

For the classics such a model will not work. The disadvantage of the console tables is that they are quite problematic to move from one place to another, as they are securely attached to a particular surface.

With superstructure

Computer tables with a superstructure are practical and multifunctional, as they consist not only of a standard working plane, but also a set of spacious open shelves or structures with a rack.Most often, these additional elements are attached directly to the surface of the table.

The add-ons are made of the same material as the tabletop and supports. These elements can play the role of a shelf for placing a monitor or be a narrower and lower part mounted above the table top.

As a rule, complemented with such spacious furniture are additional shelves for the constituent elements of computer equipment. Such products are more often multi-tiered and have many compact storage systems.

Transformer

Transformable computer tables are very popular today. Such furniture can be changed at your discretion and regulate your workplace. Fortunately, modern manufacturers have provided a large number of possible transformation options.

For example, it can be an intricate design, which is a workplace installed in a separate section of the cabinet. It looks like this: in one of the free departments of the spacious cabinet the table top is firmly fixed, on which the monitor is placed, and the system unit is located in the next cell.

Also exist Transforming tables with sliding panels. Such products have a separately installed monitor stand and a tabletop located under it. As a rule, it can be rotated and fixed in the most comfortable position for you.

Compound transforming tables are in demand today. Most often these designs consist of several tiers made of lightweight materials. The tiers contain a monitor stand, table top, keyboard shelf and a separate niche for the system unit.

The position of the "floors" can be adjusted at its discretion, forming the most convenient workplace.

The form

The most popular are rectangular computer tables with angular edges. The second most popular are angular and perpendicular models.

Original computer tables with rounded edges look more gently and neatly. The table top in them can also be round, oval and even slightly curved. Such models are less common than traditional angular specimens, and they are not suitable for every small room. Before buying them it is necessary to make all the necessary measurements, otherwise the interior will be cluttered with a round table.

Dimensions

Modern furniture factories produce furniture of any size, so you can choose the best option for any area and layout. The standard length of a small-sized computer table is 90 cm. Angular and perpendicular models differ in larger indicators.

The height of the mini-table should be selected based on the personal preferences of the owners, as well as their height and height. So, if several people work at a computer / laptop, then it is recommended to select tables with height adjustment so that each user can adjust the furniture for themselves.

Picking up a miniature computer table, also take into account the distance between component parts. For example, the keyboard shelf should be no more than 10 cm below the worktop directly. As for the shelf, intended for the installation of the monitor, it should be located no higher than 15 cm.

Materials

Small computer desks are made of various materials:

  • The most beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly are models of solid wood. Such furniture can be safely installed in both adults and children's rooms, as it does not consist of hazardous and harmful substances and does not harm human health. A natural wood table will last a very long time and will delight with its expensive appearance, but will require special care. From time to time the wood must be treated with special protective compounds, otherwise it will quickly “grow old”: it will crack and dry.

Wooden computer tables are expensive, but their performance and design are undoubtedly worth it. Products from solid birch or pine are more accessible, since these species are not classified as valuable.

  • Much cheaper cost designs from MDF or LDSP. They also have a long service life and are quite durable, but they cannot boast of the same beautiful design as solid wood models.Moreover, the wood chipboard (DSP) incorporates dangerous formaldehyde resins, which are released at high temperatures in the room. In order not to harm health, experts recommend a little overpay and purchase products made of laminated chipboard, or material belonging to the class "e-1".
  • Attractive and stylish design possess glass tables. Such products can refresh the interior and give it a more progressive look. Experts recommend buying tables, which include strong tempered glass. However, even such material will require a careful and careful attitude.
  • The cheapest are small computer plastic tables. This material does not rot and does not lose its attractiveness even after many years. But you should buy only those models that are made of high quality plastic.

Colors

The miniature computer desk can be painted in the following colors:

  • The classic ones are white, black and brown. They can be put in almost any interior. The main thing is to have their color in common with the rest of the objects in the setting and not to pull the main attention to themselves, becoming the “white crow”.
  • Fashionable and expensive is the dense shade of wenge. Recently, the furniture of this color is wildly popular.
  • If you want to purchase a solid and respectable model, then you should look for a luxurious mahogany table. An array of similar shades can enrich the interior and bring the desired notes of luxury into it.
  • Neutral are computer tables of a gray shade. They will look harmonious in many ensembles, but it is not recommended to place them in the interiors of "fresh" tones, so as not to form a too boring and monotonous setting.

Styles

  • High tech. In such a progressive interior, a glass table with a metal frame will look best. If you are a supporter of natural materials, then for such a modern ensemble you should choose a solid wooden model in black or white.
  • Minimalism. This is another modern style, the hallmark of which is the minimum set of interior items and decorative accessories. A small computer desk will look great in this setting. It is advisable to choose concise options, devoid of decor or colorful inserts.

Stylish ideas in the interior

A narrow dark chocolate table with a superstructure will look attractive near a window in a bright room. Put on the side a cream leather sofa, and near the table is a blue compact high chair on a metal frame.
