Wall-mounted folding table from IKEA is an ideal variant of a folding workplace for small rooms.

IKEA is able to throw up ideal ideas for decorating small rooms!))) The catalog of the Swedish manufacturer is replete with various options for folding tables, although mostly sliding. But it is very simple, standard and ordinary. Undoubtedly the most unusual option for the design of work surfaces in small rooms (kitchens, balconies, hallways, children's rooms) are wall-mounted tables. Such a variety of folding wall models, like ikea - I have never seen!

The manufacturer has options both from solid wood (in the catalog under the name Norbu), and from laminated particleboard (Norberg). Wall mount options are also varied. There are metal supports, there are wood.

At one time, I bought both versions of IKEA wall folding tables. And each of the models has proven itself from the best side.

In this review, I want to talk about the Norbu IKEA wall mount folding table.

Item number: 503.617.11

Model: The table folds down, which saves space.

Raw materials: Solid wood - wear-resistant natural material.

Product Sizes: Width: 79 cm, Depth: 59 cm

When assembled, it resembles a narrow shelf. The working surface of the table is lowered and is (hanging) parallel to the wall. The width of the IKEA Norbu table in the "shelf" state is only 8 cm.
The height of the table can be adjusted by hanging. You can get a standard desktop (distance from the floor 72-75cm) and a bar version (more than a meter).
Due to the lack of support in the corners of the table, place heavy objects, ideally, in the center of the working area (folding surface). Don’t say that, and when the load is applied, the corners of the table begin to “walk” a couple of millimeters. The movement of the countertop under load is felt there is pressure on the corners of the countertop (where there are no legs). How to press to bend the countertop? Very much! The load should be more than 10-15kg ..

Manufacturer Information about Norbu Model:

Description: Main parts - solid birch and clear acrylic varnish

Environmental information: Renewable material (wood).
The material from which this product is made is recycled.

Care instructions: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild cleaner. Wipe with a dry cloth.

Helpful information: Install at the height of a regular table - fix the table top on the wall so that its upper edge is at a height of about 74 cm. Install at the height of the bar table - fix the table top on the wall so that its top edge is at a height of about 95 cm or 106 cm (depending on the seat height of the bar stool). To ensure stability, tighten the screws again two weeks after assembly. Different walls require different wall mounts.

The table is made of solid wood. Unlike conifers, the countertop is harder for punching. I don’t use my table, straight, like a cutting board. When rolling out the dough, during cutting, during beating - ALWAYS have an intermediate gasket or board. That is why the surface condition is like on the day of purchase.
I use the Norbu folding table as an auxiliary work area. Usually, it’s more convenient to have breakfast at the window sill!))) We lay out the table when there are more than two people who dine or don’t want to sit in a row. This ikeevsky table is "engaged" by the manufacturer as an option for two. For my part, I declare with all responsibility that three people will comfortably sit at the table. You can sit even five (standard). but it will be a bit crowded.
Caring for the Norbu IKEA countertop is simple. Contamination is easily washed with a soft soapy cloth (as a foaming agent - dishwashing detergent). Once a year and a half, I coat the surface with special oil for processing Ikea Brenhal wood. Factory coating on the surface of the wood - very resistant and water repellent! You don’t have to worry that something will soak up and stain the surface of the wooden countertop. Tested and tested on: berries (cherries, blueberries, strawberries, etc.), tomatoes, citrus fruits, coffee, tea, etc.
The hinged Norbu wall table does not have supports on the floor, but at the same time withstands decent loads. In addition to dishes, calmly withstands and elbows sitting. in those moments when gatherings in the kitchen lose their officialdom!))) "Decent" is how much? I didn’t weigh it on purpose, but 20-25 kilograms can withstand without problems. IMHO. Sometimes I use Norba as a workplace, and there only a printer and scanner weigh about 10 kg, not to mention a laptop in a metal case.
Cons of the table - this is the need to evenly distribute the load on the surface of the countertop, and if possible not to put pressure on the corners. From such a load, the table, of course - will NOT collapse, but a little aboutbends.

Concluding the review on the IKEA Norbu wall-mounted folding table, I certainly recommend it! Eco-friendly materials in the interior, it is not only beautiful, but also safer to use than phenol-formaldehyde particleboard and chipboard. When taking into account the meager cost of furniture (the current price in the catalog of 2017) is 2990 rubles, the product deserves really laudatory characteristics. The compact size and the possibility of transformation (folding) allow you to set the table in the smallest rooms.

Most people, due to their small living space, prefer folding tables, as they provide ample space without taking up a lot of space. A folding table is an ideal choice for small kitchens.

As a rule, part of it is mounted on the wall, while the other part freely rises when it needs to be unfolded, and lowers when more free space is required. Such a folding wall table is gaining wide popularity not only because of convenience and versatility, but also due to the unique style that is characteristic of Ikea.

An equally convenient option is a transformer table. It is a folding table. Unlike folding, which is mounted on the wall, the transformer has a fixed part of the countertop, the edges of which can rise when circumstances so require: visit of guests or lunch.

Such a folding bed perfectly complements your kitchen, without taking up much space.

The perfect option for the bedroom

Of course, any girl needs to have a little table in her room on which cosmetics and other women's little things will be stored. A brilliant option for this is a wall-mounted folding table, which does not take up much space.

This model perfectly complements the room, adding with its miniature look a share of the charm and charm inherent in all tables from Ikea.

Option to the balcony

An ideal table for balconies and loggias is a folding table-transformer, which can be folded at any time and laid out whenever you want. Since the balcony is one of the smallest rooms in any apartment, and one sometimes wants to sit in the fresh air with a cup of strong coffee or tart tea, the transformer table is just indispensable in this situation.

The choice of folding tables of small sizes is quite diverse, so that you can easily find the perfect option for yourself. Ikea made sure that the tables fit harmoniously even in such small rooms as balconies.

If you have children, especially those who go to school, then a desk is simply a necessary thing that will allow the child to learn lessons, sitting comfortably on a desk designed for such things. A wall folding table can become a suitable option for the nursery, since at any time the child can easily remove the table by folding his countertop down, thereby freeing up enough free space for games and active actions that the child makes anyway.

It is quite easy to choose folding products from the brand. They are often called book tables because of their compactness, versatility and practicality. When choosing a product, it is worth considering the following points:

Decide what you need the product for and where it will be best to install it.
Choose a table from the material you need.
It is best to purchase furniture not at online stores, but directly at official points of sale, where you can independently inspect the product and decide whether it suits you or not.
Classic folding tables do not have to be used only as dining tables. They can be easily installed as a curbstone, and if necessary, laid out for any reason.
A folding product is a functional piece of furniture, so when choosing it is important to consider that you can use it for a variety of purposes at the same time.

It is believed that the standard table size should accommodate four people. However, if you are counting on guests, for six or more people, definitely buy a table-book from Ikea, which will accommodate each guest with special comfort.

When choosing, it is important to take into account the shape of the table. There are no specific criteria here, just someone in the interior likes round products more, and someone else likes square and rectangular ones.

When choosing any table for your home, give preference to models with various drawers, because with their help you can very conveniently store various things.

Cost

On average, kitchen folding products or tables-transformers will cost the buyer 10-15 thousand rubles. And this price is justified, because often they are made from processed wood, for example, from solid pine.
