The table top is where guests engage the most, making it a central element in any restaurant table's design. It plays a crucial role in the dining experience.

Traditional Style Restaurant Tables
Traditional style tables often used in fine dining settings. With elegantly finished wood, detail textured and rich proportions, traditional style tables lend a powerful and timeless look.
Modern Style Restaurant Tables

Industrial-style tables are designed to evoke a warehouse aesthetic, featuring raw metal and bold, distressed wood shapes that create a contemporary yet timeless look. This style is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, making it particularly effective in breweries and pubs.
A butcher block table is constructed of blocks of wood face-glued together to reveal the edge grain on the surface. The individual block patterns are noticeable as part of the smooth top. This process creates a hard surface offering a rustic and contemporary look which is one of many reasons they are a go-to choice for wooden restaurant table tops.
Wood grain up design is one of the most attractive features of a plank wooden table top. It has a more traditional build, making this table top easier to stain uniformly. Contrary to a butcher block table top, a solid plank top has a smoother, richer surface making it a beautiful addition to any dining setting.
Table bases serve as the foundation of any restaurant table, significantly impacting your customers’ dining experience. Mismatching a base with an incompatible top size can lead to an awkward and uncomfortable setting. These bases not only provide stability and support for the table tops but also come in various sizes and styles. Below are the key components commonly found in our table bases:
Spider
This component sits on top of the column. It attaches the table top to the table base.
Column
The column is the body of the base. It gives the table top its desired height.
Base Plate
Positioned at the bottom of the base, the plate provides stability and support for the entire table.
Glides
Glides are fitted beneath the plate and serve to protect both the base finish and floors from scuffing and scratches when moved.
X prong bases are often paired with square or rectangular table tops but they can also be used on round table tops.
Round table bases are often assembled with round table tops but it’s not uncommon to pair them with square tops.
This base provides stability to your table top while minimizing wobbling due to the wide square plate.
Bolt-down bases are designed to secure the column to the floor. They provide maximum stability ensuring that your table is both appealing and sturdy.
This base is commonly used for adequate support of long, rectangular table tops. Use two of these bases, placing each at the end of the table top for optimal strength and support.
