Black Buffet Tables

Since a black buffet table is often used as accent furniture, the styling or design plays a significant role in your purchasing decision. Interior design has spawned a multitude of categories.

• Traditional - A traditional black buffet table will typically feature rich ornaments and elaborate decorative details usually in the drawer pulls, legs, spindles, and moldings. It's also a style that is oversized to impress.
• Modern - This style is often described as "simplicity is the best expression of beauty." Hence, you will hardly find any elaborate additions when it comes to modern style. Rather, it uses clean lines, asymmetrical forms or geometrical designs to catch one's attention.
• Contemporary - This style is somewhat in between the modern and traditional. It still features additions that are elaborate, but not as much as the traditional. It highlights a more relaxed feel compared to the traditional, but not as much compared to the modern. Other iconic styles such as retro, Art Deco and urban fall into the category of contemporary.

Since the primary material of the black buffet table will significantly affect its durability and costs, it's a factor that you need to carefully consider. Below are some of the most commonly used materials for a buffet table.

• Wood - This is the traditional material for furniture including the black buffet table. Because of such, it often features a cozy and warm vibe, which makes it excellent for most homes. Bear in mind that wood also comes in many different types. There's the fiberboard, manufactured wood, and solid wood. The fiberboard is the weakest in terms of durability, while the solid wood is the strongest. However, solid wood is also the most expensive, while fiberboard is the least costly. In most cases, manufactured wood sits in the middle with regards to costs and durability.
• Metal - A black buffet table that features metal for a primary material is perhaps the most durable. It's also easy to maintain. In most cases, metal black buffet table comes with a sleek and elegant appearance. On the downside, rust is something that is concerning with metal. Thankfully, there are plenty of metal alloys that are resistant to rust.
• Glass - A glass black buffet table typically means it comes with a glass top which is supported by either wood or metal. If a glass-heavy buffet table is what you are looking for, be sure to pick one that features tempered glass. It's a lot safer and more durable.
