Restaurant Tables

Squares and rectangles use floor space more efficiently and gang together for large parties; that's why high-volume rooms lean square. Rounds trade a little capacity for better conversation and flow, which suits chef-driven and neighborhood concepts. Most rooms we quote end up roughly 70/30, with rounds at anchor positions.

Contract-built ones, yes. The difference from furniture-store wood is the build: thicker tops, catalyzed finishes rated for sanitizer, and joinery that survives daily moves. A contract wood table refinishes at year six instead of retiring; that's the economics that justifies its price.

Powder-coated aluminum frames under a through-colored or sealed top is the default answer for most climates. Steel adds weight where wind is the enemy. What doesn't work is indoor tables drafted outside for the summer; that experiment always ends the same way, in one season.

Components win when you want odd sizes, mixed heights, or a future where you refresh tops without replacing everything. Complete tables win on speed and single-vendor simplicity for standard sizes. We price your list both ways on request. The delta is usually smaller than expected, and seeing it settles the question.

Send the floor plan, or even the room dimensions and target cover count. We'll come back with a size mix, quantities, per-unit pricing, and freight as one number. If you already know your list, quantities alone get you a quote inside a business day.
