Matte Black Metal Tabletop & Frame

The matte black powder coated metal tabletop & frame undergo a fascinating transformation, marrying industrial strength with sophisticated aesthetics. The journey begins with choosing the right metal - steel is a popular choice due to its strength & durability. Using techniques like laser cutting, CNC machining, or bending, we transform the metal into the desired frame shape with high accuracy. It then undergoes degreasing to get rid of any surface contaminants for optimal adhesion of the coating. 

The heart of the process lies in the electrostatic powder coating - dry, finely ground particles of paint resins & hardeners, are sprayed onto the charged metal frame. The coated frame is then baked at 350°C, followed by slow cooling, to melt and solidify the powder into a durable finish that resists corrosion and daily wear & tear.

Key Benefits

• Ideal in Tight Spots: Slides effortlessly beside sofas, into cosy reading nooks, or adds a touch of modern elegance as a nightstand.
• Visual Lightness: Matte black finish and minimalist metal frame create an airy, uncluttered feel.
• Easy Maintenance: Matte black finish resists fingerprints and smudges, ensuring your side table looks its best with minimal effort.
• Scratch-Resistant Finish: The matte black finish offers increased resilience against scratches and wear, maintaining its sleek appearance over time.

Care Guide

• Dust Regularly: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. This will help prevent buildup and maintain the matte finish.
• Avoid Abrasives: Never use harsh cleaners, scouring pads, or abrasive cloths, as these can scratch and damage the powder coating.
• Mild Soap & Water: For most spills, a solution of mild dish soap and warm water is sufficient. Dampen a soft cloth with the solution and gently wipe the affected area. Rinse the surface thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, try a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste gently, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe away with a damp cloth. Rinse and dry the area completely.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, or other harsh chemicals, as they can damage the powder coating and leave a dull residue.

Sizing Guide

• Measure Your Seating: Begin by measuring the height of the armrests on your sofa or chair where the side table will be placed. This helps determine the ideal height of your side table for easy access. Aim for the tabletop to be within 2.5-5 cm of the armrest height.
• Clearance: To ensure a sense of openness and avoid a cramped ambiance, aim to leave 30-45cm of clearance between the side table & other furniture (when placed next to a sofa/armchair) to allow for comfortable movement and prevent the space from feeling crowded. 
• Depth: The side table's depth should be shallower than the depth of your sofa or armchair to avoid protruding and creating an obstructed feeling. Aim for a depth difference of 7-15 cm.
• Shape: Round or oval side tables are ideal for tight spaces or if you want to soften the lines of your room as their curved edges create a more spacious feel compared to sharp corners. Square side tables offer more surface area and work well in larger spaces where you need additional tabletop space.
• Usage: While the most common placement for a side table is next to a sofa/armchair, you can also utilise empty corners to add visual interest and break up empty space, while offering additional surface area and functionality. It can also be placed near the entrance to hold keys or a small plant, or be used as a bedside table for lamps, books or phones.
