White looks elite, but it is quite demanding to care for. Any, even the slightest, pollution is visible on it. The problem is that it is not always possible to remove stains that accidentally fall on the surface. Not every product can remove them without damaging the texture.

- care of this product is more regular and especially delicate;
- such a table is not always combined with furniture of a different color;
- it does not look solid in budget models, therefore, it simplifies the situation;
- a quality product is expensive.
Views
The furniture industry does not stand still: a wide range of models is presented on the market, which can be conditionally divided into two groups:
- standard:
- non-standard.
The first line is made up of classic varieties, the basis of which is strict functionality. They look familiar, have a free central part and side ones occupied by drawers or shelves. The furniture of the second group is more creative and is the accent of the room, indicating the taste of the user. It is unique in appearance, it can resemble double tables with various shelves and shelves.
By the type of structure, white desks are:
- linear;
- angular;
- U-shaped.
The first models are of the direct type. In terms of complexity, they can be in the form of a single tabletop mounted into the wall, or be a classic, be a narrow model of a writing table or a structure on carved legs.
The second varieties are solid or modular. Depending on the model, the corner can be located on either side of the base.
A corner or U-shaped writing table can be on legs, in the form of countertops that are on top of each other. There are a lot of options: it all depends on the design and the required functionality.
Additional elements
The functionality of the table is varied. Some products represent a tabletop on legs that does not have drawers, other models with a rack, in addition to built-in drawers, are equipped with additional modules and pedestals.
The main additions to the functionality include:
- superstructure;
- drawers;
- lockers;
- roll-out shelves;
- compartments for computer equipment;
- racks.
Dimensions (edit)
The parameters of modern desks are far from the usual standards. In a highly competitive environment, brands offer different solutions that do not obey any generally accepted standards. If a product is produced in large quantities, it itself becomes the standard.
Conventionally, all tables can be divided into three categories, the model can be:
- small, with dimensions 60x100, 80x110 cm;
- medium size, with parameters 90x120, 90x130 cm;
- large, with a side length of more than 140 cm.
At the same time, the shape of the table is also varied. It can be narrow, wide, in the shape of half a hexagon, similar to the letter S or resembling a serpentine. Some models take up the entire length of the wall. Others in design, besides the table, are complemented by a cabinet or shelving unit of a similar style and color.
Materials (edit)
Different raw materials are used in the production of this furniture.
The most valuable is wood (oak, pine, beech, birch). The solid wood ensures the reliability of the structures, after painting it looks solid.
The disadvantage of the models is the fact that the shade cannot be whitened perfectly, therefore, the color loses somewhat against the background of other analogs. In addition, wooden tables are expensive and need to be combined with other furniture of a similar material and color.
In addition to wood, good raw materials for the production of white desks are MDF and chipboard, which are wood processing products. The weight of the materials is lighter than the wooden counterpart, such a surface can be processed in different ways, so the color shade is impeccable.
The texture, which can be matte, glossy, lacquered, is also interesting. In one case, the surface is pasted over with a film, in the other it is laminated, in the third, it is covered with resistant enamel.
Glass and glass are often used in development. plastic... Furniture decorated with glass inserts looks light and adds air to the space. Plastic simplifies the appearance somewhat.In addition, it is unreliable and, with significant mechanical stress, can break off from the main part.
If plastic inserts are located near heating devices, it can release harmful substances into the air.
Styles
The white writing desk is able to successfully blend into different styles. However, he is beyond the power of crude design ideas such as a loft. The shade itself disposes to the stylish and sublime: the priority is the classical and modern trends, which do not accept chaos.
Everything must obey harmony, otherwise, instead of a stylish accent, a feeling of disorder will be created. The purity of the shade, its combination with the decoration and furnishings allows you to decorate different design ideas, for example:
- classics;
- provence;
- modern;
- minimalism;
- vintage;
- Biedermeier
- brutalism;
- baroque;
- bionics;
- constructivism.
The list can be extended: the appropriateness of the combination depends on the skill of the designer, the sense of taste of the owners of the house. The fact of habit is important: for some, functionality is important, others cannot live without stylish creative things.
Design
The design solution is the basis for the appearance of the white tables.
The most interesting stylistics options worthy of attention include:
- stylish glossy linear table with a side edge on one side and a cabinet with roll-out shelves on the other;

This fact is explained by the order of the seller of separate parts of the assembly, which he assembles into a single kit.
