How to assemble a transforming table

If we talk about various modifications of the tables, the transformer has a rather rich history. Back in Soviet times, a table-book was well-known. It is still successfully produced by many furniture factories in the country. And according to user reviews, in many cases, is an indispensable piece of furniture. Let's figure out what a subcategory of transformers actually is.

Why, as mentioned above, does the book belong to the group of transformers, and what tables still belong to this group? Any type of tables that can change their geometry with a flick of the wrist can be classified as a group of transformers. For a better understanding, it is worth noting that the standard seating table of the same Soviet times, which also moves apart with the addition of part of the countertop, cannot be called a transformer, since it does not have a disclosure mechanism.

Most often, such models are used in small-sized apartments or premises, the area of ​​which is limited. Such a table can be folded to a minimum size and not occupy excess space, and, if necessary, deploy to the desired size.

Where are such products most commonly used? According to users of transformers, most often these are living rooms, a little less often, dining rooms. A very popular transformer for today is the magazine version.

For the manufacture of this group most often used furniture chipboard. Transparent materials are used much less often, since it is necessary to hide the deployment mechanism of the transformer.

Important to remember! That the type of furniture, which is subjected to constant mechanical stress, requires better materials, otherwise, over time, the connections of the nodes will become loose and the table will fail.

To assemble this kind of furniture requires a standard tool provided by the manufacturer. If the furniture is made independently, then an additional screwdriver with various nozzles, a confirmation drill, a hammer, screwdrivers and pliers will be required.

How to assemble the body of the transformer table

The assembly of the table begins with a thorough study of the drawings of the manufacturer's factory or your own, if it is made with your own hands. First of all, it is necessary to understand the order of assembly of nodes. The case is going first.

All parts are fastened by means of confirmations. It is important to ensure that right angles are maintained during assembly. It is also important to remember details such as heel cups, which prevent scratching the floor legs, and shock absorbers that reduce the runout of the tabletop against the edge of the cabinet when folding furniture.

Rules for installing the lifting gear

The lifting mechanism is installed before the countertop is mounted in a specially prepared space for it. Moreover, when assembling the factory table, the holes for the mechanism are made in advance. With self-production, you will have to drill in place. The springs in such a mechanism are attached after the rest of the mechanism has already been fixed.

Countertop Installation

Installing countertops, on the one hand, is the easiest operation when assembling the table. But, on the other hand, if it is installed incorrectly, the geometry of the transformer will be violated and gaps will appear that will spoil its appearance.

How to put underframe

After assembling the countertops, you can proceed to the assembly of the tabletop. According to the name, these nodes are hidden under the countertop in the assembled state of the table. Therefore, it will be convenient to assemble the table in the unfolded state of the product. In this case, it is necessary to assemble all its nodes separately, and then attach them to the body.

After the assembly is completed, it is important to conduct a final check of its operability, so that later it will not be embarrassed when demonstrating furniture. All mechanisms should work without much stress and soft enough.

When assembling, it is important to remember safety precautions. Especially when working with sharp drills, as well as when checking the opening and closing mechanism. Since hands can easily fall into the space of the mechanism itself.

If you purchased a transformer, carefully read the instructions for its assembly. There is nothing complicated in it. And you will definitely get an attractive element of furniture.
