What year did Formica tables come out?

Here's a little bit of a history lesson on the Formica table: Formica was invented in 1913 as an electrical insulator (just as Bakelite, years later). The Formica we know in these tables was bound together with thick pieces of paper laminated with melamine — love this word!

What were 1950s kitchen tables made of?

Formica was a very popular material for counter tops and table tops in the 1950's. We can make tables and counters out of any Formica pattern you can find. Here is a link to Formica's current laminate patterns. It is still popular for those products today.

When were Formica kitchen tables popular?

Formica was widely used in the middle portion of the 20th century; shades of red, aqua, yellow and pink, sometimes as borders for white, are common on tables from the 1940s through 1960s.

How can you tell how old a kitchen table is?

Unless your table predates the 18th century, when it was common to assemble tables with wooden pegs, the fabricators probably assembled it with screws. If you can remove one of these screws, an examination of its length and width, as well as the condition of the threads, should give you a good idea of its age.
