Wood is always a good choice for a solid piece of furniture, as it doesn’t mark easily and will last for years without becoming outdated.
As for C-frames, you’ll wonder why you didn’t purchase furniture with one beforehand. Their design will conform to the shape of your sofa or chair - no more tables which stick out awkwardly and could be a potential tripping hazard.

Many of us have been working from home in the past year, but that doesn’t mean working conditions are ideal. By combining two important furniture pieces, a coffee table and a desk, you can have the best of both worlds.
To avoid your desk-coffee table hybrid looking out of place, opt for wood rather than metal or plastic, as most furniture in our living rooms tends to be made of wood or similar. Of course, there are exceptions – take a look at the furniture you already have and use it as inspiration to blend your new purchase!

With the mid-century craze not dying down any time soon, darker wood furniture has been popping up everywhere from bedrooms to living rooms. Design tip: bring a touch of warmth and tradition to your space by pairing charming wood finishes with brighter cushions instead of neutrals, as this will make the wood shine more.

Metallics are also very on-trend currently, and investing in this sleek pair of trays would tick all the boxes. Always make sure that, if you have metallics in one room and plan to add more, the metallics should be cohesive i.e. gold with gold, bronze with bronze. This prevents clashing and enhances cohesion.
Additionally, when not in use you could place plants or candles on each tray for a glamorous look which would work well with their 1920s art deco vibe.

It may seem incredibly easy to select a modern TV tray table, but you would be surprised as to the number of the considerations that have to be accounted for. Although it may take quite a process, making an informed decision will ensure you invest your money into a table that enhances your home’s modern style and serve you a few good years as well.
A quality TV tray table has gone through rigorous testing protocols to ensure durability and a much lower cost of owning the unit over time. One that’s made of particleboard may be cheap, but it will only last a single year. As for a quality table, yes, it costs three times as much. However, it will last 15 times longer! What do you think makes for the better investment?
If you want the most durable TV tray table for your home, check a unit’s corner and edge construction. A heavy-duty edge will allow you to have a table that’s impact resistant and capable of resisting damage even when it’s constantly knocked over.
You would also want to make sure that your new modern TV tray table offers ease of maintenance. You may find a table that’s so pretty but if it needs refinishing or sanding, you might as well forget about it. So, your table must be able to withstand rigorous use, be easy to clean, and resist staining.
Portability may seem unnecessary for the table, but you’ll soon realize how convenient it is to have a surface that you can use whenever and wherever for various tasks and rooms in your home. If you want your TV tray to be portable but you’re not very strong, consider getting the unit with casters so you can easily wheel it wherever you need a surface for mounting and snacking. Take into account your strength in moving a TV tray table around your home. You wouldn’t want the table to strain your back or become injured just by moving the unit from your living room to your bedroom.
Modern TV tray tables can be foldable units. If you get a folding tray table, you would need a sturdy and stable leg mechanism that’s bolted to the table’s underside and not attached by screws for easy folding and unfolding.
There are modern TV tray tables that have special features, which either make the units stand out or be a turn-off or a deal breaker. One of your many options includes a storage bag with a number of small pockets that allow you to store items like iPads, books, and remote controls. This feature helps declutter your living space or bedroom, as well as ensure that important items are kept close at hand.
Another feature is an ergonomic handle, tasked to provide balance for easy standing and sitting. Some tables also have tray surfaces that swivel for a more convenient use.
