There are such models on sale, but they are very expensive. Therefore, you can make a coffee table transformer with your own hands. This piece of furniture when folded is a coffee table, and when unfolded it turns into a large dining table.

Manufacturing technology of the transformer table

Materials and tools:

The scheme of the transformer table.

• chipboard sheets;
• transformation mechanism;
• pipes 20x20 mm;
• bolts 8x60 mm;
• metal corner;
• building level;
• nuts;
• washers;
• self-tapping screws;
• loops.

How to make a coffee table transformer? First of all, you need to purchase a product transformation mechanism in the store. Now available for sale various options such devices different manufacturers. The choice is big enough.

The device has in its design a special gas lift or springs, with the help of which the model is transformed. These elements provide a fairly soft and smooth course of the product.

A simpler one is a spring-based device. This option is more durable and reliable. IN finished product it will look more aesthetically pleasing, since the spring is located inside the body of the mechanism and is not visible when the transformer table is assembled into a coffee or dining option.

Table project development

You can make a project of a future product in a specialized computer program. Anyone familiar with a computer can do this job. In this case, you can perform the layout of the instance in a three-dimensional image.

Possible dimensions of the transformer table.

Knowing the dimensions of the transformation mechanism, select the dimensions future model in both options. When the project is ready, you need to purchase the necessary materials.

To complete the model, you will need chipboard sheets. cut sheets required dimensions can be ordered in a specialized workshop. When sheets of appropriate sizes are ready, they must be placed on flat surface, maybe on the floor.

The thickness of the chipboard for the manufacture of the structure is better to choose 22 mm. From such a sheet will be made the table top of the dining instance. It is for such loads that the transformation mechanism is designed.

The body of the model can be made from a chipboard sheet 16 mm thick. In the workshop, the edges of chipboard sheets are processed.

Then you need to purchase tools for assembling the model.

Assembling the table structure

First, the frame is assembled. The frame of the product is mounted on confirmations. To do this, use a solid drill.

Then marks are made on sheets of chipboard with a marker.

After that, a transformation mechanism is installed in the frame. First you need to install the springs, with the help of which the model will unfold and ensure its soft movement.

The transformation mechanism must be installed by the end-to-end method. The weight of the device is quite large, so the design must be durable.

After that, the device is fixed. In order for the fasteners of the product not to be visible, the installation of false legs is provided, which will hide all additional details.

After that, marks are made of the places where the fasteners will be installed.

Then holes are drilled in the required places for installing bolts. After that, a special place is prepared with a strong drill, where the bolt heads will be hidden.

The device is fixed to the frame of the model using bolted connections. With the help of bolts, the walls of the product are connected to each other.

After installing the device, they begin to fix the legs of the product. The legs must withstand the weight of the entire structure, which is 40-50 kg. In addition, they must withstand the weight of the items that will be on the table. Therefore, the legs are fastened to each other with screeds.

After that, the legs are screwed to the structure. Pre-for correct installation legs must be marked accordingly. The horizontality of the structure and the observance of right angles should be controlled using the building level.

Drill holes for installing legs. They need to be installed on metal bushings.

Then proceed to install the countertop. It must be assembled very carefully, since the tabletop transformation mechanism must be reliable and perform an even unfolding of the tabletop.

Then make marks for the holes. Fasteners will be installed in these holes.

After that, the installation of the product is performed. Adjust the folding mechanism of the tabletops. Drill holes for countertops.

Using screws, a small tabletop is attached to the structure. Then, holes for fasteners are made in the same way and a large countertop is installed in its place.

Table transformer coffee dining ready.

This design must be very strong to withstand all loads.

After making the model, it is necessary to check how the transformation mechanism works. If there are any errors in the operation of the mechanism, then you can adjust it.

A transformer coffee table made using this technology will ensure the creation of a durable and robust design with a long service life.

It is quite possible to make a transformer table with your own hands, if you competently approach the solution of this issue and have at least minimal experience in independent creation pieces of furniture. Let's give a few useful advice that will help you achieve the desired result with your own hands.

Let's see what advantages you get by making a transformer table with your own hands.

1. Functional table. It can change its parameters in width, length, height. It all depends on what mechanism you are using.
2. Compact dimensions. The assembled small table transforms into a full-fledged dining table, at which the whole family and guests can gather.
3. Additional features. You can make with your own hands not just a table, but also a place with drawers, shelves for storing various things - the same festive plates, forks, spoons.
4. Originality. Having made a transformer with your own hands, you will get a table that no one else has.
5. Saving space and money. The table takes up little space when assembled, can be disassembled as needed. Plus, you do not have to buy a table for the kitchen and living room separately. It is enough to transform it by moving it from the kitchen.
6. Ease of transformation. Any mechanism used today for transformer tables is easy to handle. A couple of movements, and a compact table is already a huge table.
7. Reliability. If you correctly follow the instructions and drawings, the mechanism will last a long time, and the transformer table will become the property of your family for many years.

Transformation mechanism

There are three main types of table transformation mechanisms that are used in factories and when creating with your own hands.

• Only the tabletop is transformed. You can change the length, width, height, and sometimes the shape. The mechanism is simple, great for those who sometimes need large tables;
• Only the height changes. These are mainly transformer coffee tables, which need to be turned into dining tables of normal height from time to time;
• Universal transformation, where all elements are involved - table top, legs. In terms of functionality, they are the most preferable, but it is difficult for beginners to do them with their own hands. The mechanism is not simple.

materials

Having chosen the transformation mechanism of the transformer table, you should think about the materials from which your masterpiece will be made.

Today, a do-it-yourself transformer table is made from the most variety of options among which the following are the most popular.

1. Chipboard. It's not expensive and looks attractive. This material is easy to work with.
2. Fiberboard. Such plates should be chosen with medium density. The material is environmentally friendly, ease of processing allows you to make a countertop and other components of any shape and size with your own hands.
3. Tree. Natural, safe, but quite expensive. If the issue of money is not so important, choose a tree. But it is not suitable for all interior styles.
4. Glass. Aesthetics, originality, modernity, the possibility of decoration. But many are afraid because it is glass. If you choose tempered, high-strength glass, it will not yield to wood in terms of reliability.
5. Metal. Most durable option, allowing you to get various forms. Relevant for modern styles hi-tech, loft.

Components for work

Now it's time to collect everything you need to create a transformer table:

• Board for the base;
• Plywood for the rim of the tabletop;
• Elements for creating legs - wood bars, metal pipes or corners;
• Details for load-bearing walls;
• Power tools - drill, jigsaw, hand saw;
• Paint brushes;
• Brass hinges;
• fasteners;
• Sandpaper;
• Paint, varnish and stain;
• Blueprints.

This is an approximate set of materials and tools, because, depending on the selected table option and its appearance, the set may change somewhat.

Blueprints

The basis of the entire table is a well-designed drawing. You can get it in three ways.

1. Use drawings found on the Internet.
2. Contact specialists who will make drawings for you, taking into account your wishes and your own experience.
3. Make a drawing with your own hands, providing in it a transformation mechanism, dimensions, dimensions, materials used. Ideas are taken from the head or based on searching for options on the Internet. The most important thing is to pay attention to the tabletop, the frame with hard ribs, and the legs. Accurately indicate the dimensions to the millimeter in order to get the real out of what you want.

There is no universal instruction for creating a transforming table with your own hands, since there are a great many options, ranging from the simplest to incredible complex structures with many movable elements, cabinets, sections.

The use of a transformer table in an apartment or house is an opportunity to significantly save space, provide yourself necessary comfort and the ability to turn a compact table for several people into a full-fledged big table, where all your friends can easily fit during a meeting at your home.

An elementary sense of common sense encourages you to assemble a transforming table with your own hands - in this case, the cost savings will be from 50 to 75%, depending on the model and materials. without significant loss of time extendable table may not work if this is your first furniture making experience. However, the time spent is compensated by the acquired skills, which allow further projects to be carried out much faster. After all, not one House master does not pick up an instrument once: in the living room, bedroom, hallway there is always a place for applying one's strength and creative imagination.

Folding table-book

In many families, a large dining table is far from necessary. all year round. However, its presence can help out in the event of the arrival of guests. The sliding mechanism is the best suited for these purposes, equipped with a modest wooden table stands imperceptibly in the corner, performing secondary functions. But when his time comes, he becomes the center of the apartment.

It is proposed to make a frame furniture mechanism with lowering halves of the lid. From the materials you will need:

• planed bars 20x50 mm;
• plywood or thin 10 mm planks (for boxes);
• furniture chipboard, chipboard or MDF (on the cover).

Fig.1. Drawings of a folding table-book: 1 - leading frame; 2 - swivel frame; 3- reclining plane; 4 - drawer; 5 - assembly of the side part of the main frame (option B); 6 - medium narrow chipboard-top option B

Fig.2. Table assembly scheme: 2 - elements of the swivel frame; 3- reclining plane; 4 - drawer; 5 - leading frame

The mechanism of collecting a table-book:

1. The legs of the table are cut to the required length.
2. Mark them up.
3. According to the marking, grooves are hollowed out for the longitudinal drawers (transverse rails connecting the table legs).

Note! The grooves for the lower rails can be made at an arbitrary height, and when gouging the upper ones, the height of the drawer is taken into account.

1. Saw off along the length of the longitudinal tsargi.
2. Single spikes are cut down at their ends.
3. Glue the side frames (2 pcs.), Having previously checked the accuracy of the assembly with a square.
4. While the side frames are drying, make 2 supports for the side covers of the table. They are also frame construction (in Fig. 1 and 2 - No. 5).

Mounting the table-book

The length of the legs of the support corresponds to the height of the legs of the table. The value of another vertical rack is equivalent to the distance between the outer edges of the longitudinal tsargs. And in order for the supporting support in the folded position not to look beyond the table, the width of the support should be equal to half the length of the sidewalls of the table.

Mechanism for assembling a table-book (continued):

1. On the bars intended for support, it's time to make single through and deaf spike connections.
2. The bars are connected with glue.
3. In the dried sidewalls, they cut down and select recesses for attaching short transverse sides (No. 2 in the diagram).
4. Sidewalls with these short sides are connected with glue and screws.
5. Guide rails are attached to the inside of the upper longitudinal drawers for moving drawers (No. 4 in the diagram).
6. Side walls drawers (cupboards) are made of plywood or thin 10 mm planks.
7. The front wall of the cabinet should be made of a thicker plank.
8. Quarters are cut along the edges of these boards for attaching the sidewalls of the box.
9. All elements of the cabinets are fastened with glue and screws.
10. The bottom of the cabinets (drawers) is cut out of thin plywood or fiberboard.

• Note! The design feature is that the front wall of the box goes inside the legs. This means that the front plane of the wall and the edges of the legs are flush. And in order to achieve this, clamps are attached to the guide rails and the upper longitudinal drawers, which do not allow the box to move further than necessary (No. 3 in the diagram).

1. Table covers are cut from chipboard, chipboard or MDF. Begin work with marking and cutting out the middle cover.

• Note! The edges of the middle cover above the table structure will protrude 20-25 mm. This will allow the supporting support to hide under the lowered cover half.

1. The middle cover is fixed with four metal corners(No. 3 in the diagram), screwed with screws from the inside of the upper transverse sides.
2. The side covers are attached to the middle one with a piano loop. It is screwed on from the bottom side.

• Note! If you turn the furniture structure over, dock all the covers, and only after that start twisting the loops, it will be more convenient to work.

Was ordinary - became folding

To assemble a transforming table with your own hands, it is not necessary to start everything from the very beginning. It is possible to convert an existing wooden one-pedestal or two-pedestal table into a sliding furniture mechanism. Structural solution in both cases, it does not differ much - the tables are equipped with a retractable element.

Fig.3. The mechanism for converting a two-pedestal table into a sliding one is presented front panel top drawer (1); board resistant chipboard (2); loops (3); horizontal chipboard board (4); screws (5)

To modernize a two-pedestal table, as the drawings show, it is necessary to get rid of the upper drawer of the right cabinet. If, due to the layout of the living room, it is more convenient for you to part with the drawer of the left cabinet, implement the project in a mirror. This question not important, the selected drawer must be completely disassembled. Only its front side with a handle should remain from it.

Another board is attached to this board with screws (5) at the end, the dimensions of which coincide with the dimensions of the box that was here earlier. Loops (3) are screwed from below, on which the thrust board (2) is fixed.

Board #2, when folded, should be in close contact with board #4, so that entry into the space freed from the box is problem-free. When extended, board No. 4 will act as an additional table, and board No. 2 will serve as a support for it. To avoid distortions, this plane should be tilted completely by 90 °.

Differences in retrofitting a single-pedestal table

A table with one pedestal, after modernization, will increase its area much more than a two-pedestal one. In addition, its exploded geometry will be different from the layout of a two-pedestal structure.

Fig.4. The mechanism for converting a single-pedestal table into a sliding table is represented by a horizontal cutout (1); table drawers (2); retractable board (3); hard board (4); wheels of the thrust board (5); squares (6); side wall of the table (7); additional rails (item 8)

As in the first case, you have to remove drawers. But this time it will not be cabinets located in the cabinet, but drawers located at the top of the table itself. Both boxes should be removed, and a horizontal cutout should be made on the left side of the box (1). The width of the opening should be equal to the thickness of the selected sliding board (3), which in the near future will become the plane of the elongated table.

The smooth sliding mechanism of the retractable board in the formed inner niche of the table will be given additional slats (8) installed in the direction of its movement. To prevent the board from falling out of its end, which is part of the furniture, 2 stoppers should be made. From the side of the second end to the retractable board at an angle of 90 °, a thrust board (4) on wheels (5) is fixed with squares (6). Board No. 4 is rigidly attached to Board No. 3, and when assembled, it fits snugly against the side wall of the table (7). In the place where the drawers (2) were previously located, a decorative plate is installed, after which the sliding furniture mechanism can be considered ready for use.

It is understood that the dimensions of your table may differ from what our drawings show. However, the measurements of all elements and the mechanism for re-equipping the table, presented in fig. 3 and 4 can be taken as a basis for the conversion.

Two-tier table

The proposed wooden table can be used as a coffee table all year round. However, it easily and elegantly, if necessary, turns into a living room decoration - a large dining table. Drawings of this product in different sources may vary slightly, we suggest optimal dimensions. Judge for yourself, when folded, this is a wonderful coffee table, it reaches a height of 752 mm. But by lifting the top of the structure until the supporting pedestals are disconnected, turning the cover by 90 ° and sliding the pedestal (3) into the pedestal (6), we get a high dining table.

Fig.5. Coffee and dining table for the living room. Consists of a tabletop (1); base plate (2); cabinets (3) attached to table top 1; support rail (4) of pedestal 3; stiffening bar (5); pedestals (6) attached to base plate 2; support rail (7) pedestals 6

The design of the coffee-dining table is panel, all elements are attached to dowels and glue. The manufacture of this item for the interior of the living room will require accurate measurements, it is especially important to withstand the dimensions of the cabinets. In addition, attention should be paid to the strength of the connection of the rails (7) on which the pedestal (3) rests.

People leave the countryside to have a good time and take a break from the bustle of the city. Nothing should be inconvenience. Even the furniture is made practical. Every summer resident will tell you that country furniture should be beautiful, useful and multifunctional.

One of the best options country furniture- This is a bench-transformer. This beautiful bench will be a good attribute in your suburban area. The finished design can be purchased at the store. But, it is quite possible to build your own. Full description we will analyze this process with all the drawings.

Benefits of choosing a transformer model

Such a bench becomes a necessary attribute for several reasons. When folded, it is a comfortable bench with a back, and when unfolded, the back turns into a table, and the seating area into 2 small benches. It occupies a small amount of space. Compactness is its main trump card. A light weight benches makes it possible to easily move it from one place to another. For outdoor dining, this option of country furniture will have a number of advantages over other models.

It is not at all difficult to make such a beautiful little thing on your own. For this, it is not necessary to have special skills.

The photo clearly shows the principle of the bench

Necessary tools and materials

In order not to be distracted from work, purchase in advance everything you need to create this summer cottage attribute. Prepare a hacksaw for wood or a grinder. You will need screwdrivers, but having a screwdriver will make the task easier. Stock up on a drill. Ideally, an electric drill, but you can get by with a simple one. Well, where without a ruler, a building level and a square?

The tools you need to keep working

From the materials you will need wood, sandpaper and screws.

In order not to look at the screen of your phone or computer, print out a diagram for yourself with all the drawings and measurements of the bench.

Do-it-yourself transformer bench: drawings, dimensions, preparation

A simple drawing of a bench, according to which the scheme of work is clear

First of all, you need to deal with the details that are needed to create a bench.

Detailing the elements of the bench

The model consists of two benches and a back, which plays the role of a table top. The most difficult thing is to keep in mind the finished image of the bench in order to understand how much and what details are needed. That is why it is better to have a drawn drawing at hand. First of all, prepare everything. At the final stage of work, they will simply need to be connected to each other.

The benches vary in width. The first bench is made with dimensions of 1180x25 millimeters. To create it, take boards 20 millimeters thick, 1180 millimeters long and 125 millimeters wide.

Next, make the legs. There should be 4 of them. 2 of them have dimensions of 370x110 millimeters and 2 more - 340x110.

And the boards for the legs and for the benches need to be thoroughly sanded using a grinder with a special circle or sandpaper.

The legs, of the same size, are interconnected by metal plates. In height, the connected legs should be 450 millimeters, and the width of the base should be 370 millimeters. Take two elements measuring 1180x125 mm and screw them to the bases. This is how the seat is made.

To prevent the boards from bursting, because they have a small thickness, before tightening the screws, make several holes of a smaller diameter approximately in the places where people will sit.

Take measurements of the first bench. Its width outside should be 1180mm, and inside 1140mm.

Proceed to the second bench. Its width is 1090x220 mm. For the seat, you will need 2 well-polished blanks measuring 1090x110 mm. For the legs you will need 8 blanks. Four legs should be 320 mm, two - 220 mm and two more 400x90 mm.

Attach a board to the rib with a wooden dowel, glue and self-tapping screws to a 220 mm beam. Do the same with another of the same bar. Assemble the prepared leg elements in the form of the letter “A”, where the upper part will be 220 mm bars, and the side elements will be 320 mm bars. Cut out the inner crossbar in the form of a spacer. Connect everything with screws and metal corners. The lower part of the letter "A" must have a distance of 300 mm.

Screw the seat elements to the A-shaped bases. When assembled, the width of the second bench should be 1090 mm, if you measure the seat and 1130 mm - the width of the legs. If you put two benches together, you get a large seat of four boards of the same height.

Some design elements

Now you need to build a back-tabletop. It is made from five blanks with a thickness of 80 mm, total area which is 1260x570 mm. To connect these 5 elements, use 2 bars measuring 570x40 mm. Connect the planks on the sides with these screws with screws, leaving 40 mm from the edge.

Attach two wooden thrust elements to one of the sides of the made tabletop-back. The thickness, length and width of the stop should be 20x400x100 mm, respectively. On one side of both stops, make a saw cut at an angle of 115 degrees. This will be the tilt of the back of the transformer bench. They are fastened with self-tapping screws to the inner sides of the backrest slats 140 millimeters from the edge.

Set the tabletop on the stops and press it firmly against the legs. Make a hole in the stop and vertical bar, the diameter of which should be 7 millimeters. Connect the elements with 80 mm furniture bolts. Install metal washers between thrust structures. The bolt heads should be hidden inside the tree, and not climb out, and the bolt connection itself should move, changing the angle of the back-tabletop. Try to move it to check the correct assembly.

What should happen at the end of the work

Now you need to connect two benches with each other and make armrests.

Armrests are made of bars measuring 80x220 mm and four - 60x270 mm. With a wooden dowel or carpentry glue, these blanks must be connected. They are attached to the protruding elements of the legs of bench No. 1. The emphasis in this case should be in the planks of the tabletop.

Make levers from two blanks measuring 880x60 mm. They are attached on both sides of the bench number 1 and connect it to the back. The length of the lever, unlike the width, does not change for the specified bench dimensions.

Attach the levers to the legs of the bench and the plank of the back-tabletop with furniture bolts, after marking and drilling holes for them. On one side of the lever, a hole is made 50 mm from the edge, on the other, 10 mm. In the plank of the tabletop, 120 mm must be retreated along the length to the hole, and 10 mm along the height.

In general, making a bench on your own is not at all difficult, and there will be a lot of benefits from it. If you find the strength and time in yourself to create it, you will never regret it. Following all the drawings, diagrams and recommendations, you will definitely get a wonderful country attribute. Good luck!
