Top Factors to Consider When Selecting Restaurant Tables:
Getting tables for a resto-bar is a big investment. It is essential to get it right. Before you buy commercial tables, consider how the following attributes apply to your restaurant:
1. Materials
Metal tabletops are also a great option, as they’re extremely utilitarian, robust & durable for outdoor use. Available material styles are wrought iron, cast iron, stainless steel & a few more compound metals.
Marble tabletops that are made in stone, quartz, granite, or Italian marble are also great for premium restaurants
2. Designs
A table is the first thing that grabs the attention of any patron when they enter a restaurant, bar, or cafe. This is one of the main reasons to create a lasting impression by choosing dining tables of unique patterns and designs.
Getting a supplier who does customizations is key, as every restaurant is unique in some way & requires minor customizations even for perfected products.

- Table Base Designs
Table bases not only provide support and are key for a well-balanced table but also come in a number of designs.
- Round table tops: Good for facilitating conversations since everyone at the table sits opposite or at an angle to each other. However, the round shape is not the most layout-efficient design since it takes up more usable space than other tabletop shapes.
- Square table tops: The traditional tabletop design in which people sit equally spaced – maybe not the most ideal design for sparking conversations – however, the shape makes it easy to add tables against each other to provide ample seating for larger groups.
-
- Cross base tables: The most used table base design, cross is ‘X’ shaped table bases that provide ample support and balance and are not intrusive when you have diners seated on the table.
- Round base table: Although round bases provide a substantial degree of balance and support, however, they are not the most interesting to look at.
- Trestle base tables: An aesthetically pleasing design, trestle bases also provide a high degree of sturdiness and stability.
- Custom bases for restaurant table: Although more expensive than usual bases, however, custom-designed table bases add a lot of character and pizzazz to the restaurant’s décor.Rectangle table tops: Another conventional tabletop design in which people sit equally spaced. While it isn’t comparable to round the round tables, however, rectangular tables are the most space-efficient designs
