Ikea table overlays: features and functions

It's hard to imagine life without a table. It is used especially often, therefore it needs careful maintenance. This issue is extremely important if the family has children, because it is sometimes very difficult to keep track of a little fidget. To avoid contamination and damage to the table top, you can use Ikea table overlays.

The most important function of the Ikea pad (pad) is to protect the table and, as a result, to extend its life. The buvars are made of soft material that does not slide on the table, which means that the probability of accidental falling of any objects due to the slip of the lining is minimized. Do not worry about the beautiful ornament on the table, if there is one, because you can always choose a transparent silicone model.

This option will not cover the drawing, but the table will still be safe. However, the assortment of the company also includes such models that themselves will become a decoration of the table top.

Ikea also offers protective pads for the corners of the table. With their help, you can both protect the corners and protect yourself from them. The overlays are attached to the top and bottom of the table top. Such a measure allows you to prevent the appearance of chips at the place of fixation, as well as to protect household members from accidental injury, because the likelihood of hitting your head on the corner of the table is especially high in young children.

There are several of the most popular Ikea pump models:

• Cover "Preis" made of strong and durable Eva material. It is resistant to chemical and mechanical stress, so the possibility of such unpleasant phenomena as scratches and stains is minimized. It is worth noting that the Eva material is considered environmentally friendly, therefore, if you are going to purchase such an option for a children's table, you can safely give your preference to the Preis bureau. Taking care of this accessory is as easy as shelling pears, all you need to do is wipe it with a damp cloth. Thanks to the transparency of the overlay, the drawing on the table will be visible. In addition, you can place important notes under the transparent backing, they will be readable, be at hand at any time. The size of the overlay is 65x45 cm, and the cost is approximately 300-400 rubles.

• Overlay "Skrutt" has a similar appearance to the one described above, but this model is made completely in black. It is best to use a dry cloth to care for the pad. The wear resistance of the product is quite high. Its size is 65x45 cm, and the price is about 300 rubles.

• Rissla pad - decoration of a written home or desktop. The model will emphasize the severity of the interior, becoming an attribute in the style of minimalism. The black color gives it austerity, and the white trim on the edge - originality and sophistication. Polyurethane, from which it is made, provides the lining with strength, high resistance to chemical and mechanical stress. The bend along the edge of the product allows the variant to fit well on the table. The dimensions of such a sample are 86x58 cm, and its price is 1,700 rubles.

Ikea plugs are fixtures that fit over the corners of a table. They will help to avoid accidental injury, prevent the appearance of chips and abrasions.

The "Preis" pad has a lot of positive reviews due to its strength and durability. Someone buys it for a desk, someone for a nursery or kitchen. Everyone who has tried this accessory in the kitchen notes that the material is not resistant to high temperatures. This fact cannot but upset consumers.

Also, among the minuses, users noted small size of the product and the lack of similar options in alternative dimensions. Those who purchased the overlay for the children's table noted that the table always remains clean, and the overlay does not absorb paints and other stains.

According to reviews, the Skrutt model fully copes with its tasks, however, in the course of its use, consumers have identified many negative aspects. Firstly, many people note that the product slides on the surface of the table, and this can accidentally provoke objects to fall. Secondly, in the process of using the product, consumers noticed presence of an extraneous unpleasant odor, which, however, disappeared over time.

The appearance of the Risla model does not leave indifferent any consumer who loves austere laconic design. Users consider the product to be of high quality and practical, since it can be used not only to protect the table from mechanical or other types of influences, but also to hide existing damage. Unlike other models, this option is resistant to high temperatures.

The manufacturer has provided a secret pocket, for which most users are grateful to him. The disadvantages of buyers are the high cost of the product and the lack of a choice of its size. When using this option on a computer desk, the computer mouse "slips" and requires the purchase of an additional mat.

Reviews of the Patrol table corner attachments are generally good. The products are soft and really protect against impact, however, some consumers note that they do not hold well, while others say that it is quite difficult to remove the adhesive with which they are fixed from the tabletop. This greatly spoils her appearance.

In general, consumers are satisfied with the listed products and feel that they really cope with the protective functions. However, people are still upset by the small selection of overlays, their sizes and color variations. Also, most products are not resistant to high temperatures, so you cannot put hot items on the bottle containers.
