An alder coffee table is a design element for your living room. Whether round or square, thanks to the variety of models, there is a suitable coffee table for every taste. As a rule of thumb for a good look, the coffee table should be the same height as the seating furniture. That is approx. 45 - 50 cm. For comfortable legroom, plan a distance of at least 45 cm between the coffee table and the sofa. The distance between the TV and the coffee table should be at least 80 cm. Depending on the size of the TV, even a little more. To attract attention, the coffee table is half or a third as long as the sofa.

Alder is an incredibly beautiful wood for your coffee table. Due to its special properties, alder wood is often used in furniture making as well as sculpting, modelling, carving and turning. Alder wood, which grows mainly in swamps, is soft and easy to prepare as a coffee table. When dry, it hardly breaks, shrinks only slightly and shows good endurance. Alder belongs to the sapwood and has a reddish wood colour that darkens in the light. It is soft, has a thin, even structure, dries well, does not crack. Alder is very good and easy to work with and to colour, which is why it is also often used to imitate valuable wood species.

Of course, the look of the table also plays an important and decisive role, because it should harmonise with both the sofa and the furnishings. In addition, it must create a natural and modern living atmosphere. So opt for an alder coffee table that fills the room with optimal lighting in a rustic yet trendy style. The alder coffee table is very durable and stable, so it fits perfectly into the living room and matches any wall colour thanks to its natural look.

How to care for your alder coffee table properly

If you generally opt for solid wood, pay attention to the surface treatment: untreated wood also absorbs liquids from the air. If the air humidity fluctuates greatly, the material warps, the wood bends and tensions build up in the structure. Constantly high humidity promotes mould growth, especially in untreated wood. To keep your wooden coffee table comfortable for a long time, you should keep the humidity constantly at a normal level (40 to 60 %).
Another danger for your wooden coffee table is strong sunlight: UV rays bleach untreated and poorly maintained wood. Therefore, do not expose the coffee table to direct sunlight and renew the wax or oil coating on the wood once or twice a year. Hot pots and pans must not be placed naked on the wood! Tablecloths, coasters and napkins will save your worktop. Clean your wooden table with a damp cloth. Lacquered coffee tables are easier to clean.
