White Lacquer Dining Table

Most white lacquer dining tables come in very simple designs. They don't have fancy motives or linings. Due to this, people who like the concept of minimalism will favor this type of table. Therefore, don't be surprised to see the table having only 4 legs and a flat table top which have only one solid white color.  

They are widely available in the rectangular shape design. High gloss lacquer dining tables are very common too.

Features

White lacquer is a type of wood finishing. White lacquered dining tables have these 4 qualities:

• high gloss
• very modern
• contemporary style
• clean look

Most of them will be silky white. You can also find tables which are pearl and opaque white. They are all white in color, only with different tones and shades. The whiteness is so pure that it looks futuristic.

Lacquer is an excellent wood finishing choice because it serves excellent protection for any wooden furniture.

Benefits

Can blend in very well with black dining chairs, making the entire dining set having a black and white theme. A white lacquer dining table also goes very well
with chrome (metal) table or chair legs.

Supports the minimalism look. Most furniture covered in white lacquer finish look minimalist themselves. White lacquer is an essential wood finish when it
comes to the less-is-more concept.

In case you are interested in having a glass table top on a white lacquer kitchen table, it is a perfect idea. The glass and high gloss white lacquer look good
together.

Lacquer finishes are also much more durable than wax finishes. Thus, your white lacquer dining table can last longer.

Tips

You must not leave any plastic materials on the table for a very long time (e.g. a few days). This is because plastic and lacquer can stick together due to the softening of the lacquer! How to solve this problem? Always use a table cloth, pad or protector before you put a plastic cup, bottle or box on the table.

With beauty, comes great maintenance. You have to clean it more than you should for a regular wooden table. It is white, remember? Therefore, stains and
dust are very visible on your white dining table. Make it a point to clean it every 2 days or so and you will be fine.

If you have children at home, train them to behave properly and not to stain the table. Besides, it training them proper (table) manners from a young age is
always a good thing.

How to clean white lacquer dining tables? Simply use a wet cloth (squeezed to release excessive moisture) and wipe your white table in straight lines. Then
quickly wipe dry the wet residue using another dry cloth. That is all you need to know when cleaning any lacquered furniture.

In case you want to apply white lacquer onto your own furniture at home (for repairing or covering yellow stains), don't. Lacquer is a hazardous material that
causes air pollution. Its fumes can damage your nervous system, liver and kidneys. It is best that you leave any type of finishing job to your professional woodworker.

If you are looking for contemporary dining at your home, doing it with a white lacquer dining table is always the right choice.
