Restaurant table tops

Notes from behind the counter

Picture the piece at four in the afternoon, after the lunch line has been through. Check the seat height against your counter and the base spread against the top. Save the models that pass to a shop plan, with a note on where each one goes.

Size before surface: choose restaurant table tops by the aisle and the party, two diners at a 24-inch square and four once you reach 36 inches, then settle the finish.

Pair the surface with its support

The selected top size, material, weight, and mounting details matter to the base pairing. Check the listed compatibility for the exact top and base; a shared finish does not establish a suitable match.

Choose the size before the quantity

Keep the shape and size with each selected top. The available sizes may be options on one product, and changing them can change the price or the support needed.

Shop plans

Tops are the part of the table your customers touch, wipe and look at, and the part you are most likely to replace. Here are 60 of them: resin, laminate, wood and solid wood, granite and sintered stone, many listed for patio use. Choose the size for your seats first and the surface second.

Size for the seats

The top decides how many people a table seats. Two sit at 24 inches square, better at 24 by 30 once the plates arrive. Four can manage a 30-inch square when the room is small; give them 36 inches a side or a round of 42 and they relax. Five or six take a 48-inch round. Square, rectangular and round tops turn up in close to equal numbers here, with a handful of drop-leaf tops that fold out of the way.

Then look underneath. A round top needs its base to reach two thirds of the way across or more, so moving up a size can mean a bigger base too. The round bistro table notes carry that rule through each round size we list.

Surface by the work it does

Resin is the most common surface in the range, and a good number of the resin tops carry a patio listing. Laminate is next, the everyday choice for the tables nearest the till. Wood and solid wood bring warmth to a bakery, and granite and sintered stone bring the weight and surface of real stone.

Prices range from about $38 to $382 a top. Our cafe tabletops guide sets laminate, wood, resin and stone side by side, cloth in hand.

Changing tops, keeping bases

A table base can outlast several tops. When the second shop opens with a new color, or a corner of a laminate top gets chipped, the top comes off and a new one goes on. Keep a note of each top's size, shape and surface so a replacement fits the base you already own.

Solid wood tops carry a six-month warranty, and the natural movement of solid wood sits outside it. Indoor tops stay indoors.

On your shop plan, list each table as a top and a base, two lines, so either part can be reordered alone.
