There are various materials used to construct a strong and fine table and furniture as per your requirements.

Wood

This material has been used for ages as it is natural and its properties satisfy the requirements in the best way ever. Furthermore this material never went out of the trend as one can easily edit in it and can make it trendy as usual. We even have options for choosing in between hardwood and softwood. Softwood includes pine, cedar, fir, etc. they remain natural and cannot be edited much though if finished properly they are the best material for this purpose. While in hardwood one can edit much by staining and painting it. The only disadvantage of this material is water.

Glass

Table tops made up of glass are very practical and they look very elegant and awesome. You can frame it with help of wood, metal, granite and much more depending upon your taste of décor. Glass tables are most probably better for modern, hi-tech, and minimalist homes. Moreover it has high heat and moisture resisting power, also if anything spills on it; wiping it out is easier.

These types of materials come under heavy materials. Though, as we discussed in usages that if you are the homeowner then only rely on such materials otherwise choose a light and durable material. Here marble and granite are such materials which are naturalistic, heavy, and one can say it as the most durable materials. Usually while making kitchen interior such materials are used vastly. Thus, they will mix very well with the other elements present in, you can even consider them as a one time investment material as they never went out of the trend and nor will they. The only disadvantage is they are heavy to move for cleaning purposes and they are way too expensive.

Plastic

Plastic is very light in weight and durable in its structure along with such miscellaneous properties it is inexpensive also. The one who is renting in the house can easily afford on such material that too with utmost reliability. It can be easily maintained, cleaned, comfortable, water resistant, etc. However, a plastic table would lack the elegance and the charm of reality and nature.

Metals

Metal again is a heavy material, it is sturdy, durable, and really cool material with which you would like to contact. As we know metals have a property that they are lustrous in nature, thus if the finishing is done precisely then obviously it can boost up the elegance of your home. Most probably furniture made of metals like materials are used in industrial and contemporary styled homes.
