Therefore, it should always have a protective coating, the integrity of which should be monitored.

MDF - another budget one, which by its characteristics and qualities can be equaled to wood. It does not require special care, is resistant to negative factors.

Plastic - makes it possible to make furniture of different colors and textures, acceptable in price. But the disadvantage will be sensitivity to scratches - such furniture should be carefully cared for, avoid cleaning agents with abrasives, immediately wipe off the surface of spilled tea or coffee.

Glass is an aesthetically attractive option, which is not afraid of high temperatures, spilled liquids. But you will have to wash and wipe it more often, because even the smallest traces are visible on the glass surface.

Wood is a durable material that looks appropriate in most interiors. But wood should be carefully cared for, avoid contact with hard or sharp objects.
