Most tables have to be able to handle the day to day activities of a single family or group of roommates. However a restaurant table top has to be able to handle the food and drink rigorous of different groups and people every single day. That is why you have to be careful when choosing a restaurant table top, in order to ensure that it will be appropriate and capable of handling the situation you will be placing it in.

Restaurant Tables and Bases

Most restaurant tables are sold as matched sets with the table top and the table base coming either attached, or made for one another. The tables found on MosaicStoneTables.com are all sold as separate tops and bases. That means that you can purchase the entire table, or just the top, or restaurant table base that you choose.

This allows you to purchase one of our stone table tops, and then find your own table base from a manufacturer or retailer. This will often allow you to work out deals with the base manufacturer so that you can save money on tables for your entire restaurant.

Of course our natural stone restaurant table tops are all crafted to fit any standard table base. All you have to do is place the two pieces together and then screw the base into the bottom of the table. The underside of our stone tables is not stone, but a poly core material that can be easily drilled into in order to create a secure bond between the table top and the table base.

We also have a variety of matched stone table bases so that you can create an integrated natural mountain born stone look in your restaurant.

Durability Of Restaurant Table Tops

One of the main concerns with a restaurant table is how well it will handle stains and spills over time. You need to know how to properly clean them, and how to properly maintain them, in order to get the most for your money.

With natural stone tables the maintenance is very similar to that of stone restaurant floors. The only difference is that your tables won’t have hundreds of people walking across them each day. That means that our tables are durable and resistant enough for rigorous restaurant use. However, you will want to take some precautions in order to maintain their appearance.

First of all, our restaurant table ops are treated multiple times with a surface sealant that creates an invisible layer over the surface of the mosaic stones. This surface will wear down over time, and will need to be replaced in order to protect the tables. In a restaurant, you will probably want to do this every 3-6 months in order to protect your investment.

Stone sealers can be found at most hardware stores and can be applied to each table in a minute or two using a foam brush.

Our stone table tops are appropriate for both indoor and outdoor restaurants so you can use these as bistro tables or outdoor dining tables without having to worry.

Wine and Natural Stone Tables

Natural stone is a base in an acid base relationship and as such it is susceptible to stains caused by acidic substances. This includes things such as wine, or pasta sauce. The sealant that is applied to the stone can protect the tables surface from these items, however if a spill occurs, it should be wiped up immediately, so that none of the acidic material is able to get down past the seal and onto the actual stone.

Restaurant Table Designs

One thing that is unique about buying tables for a restaurant is that you have to buy a lot of them. That means that you want to try and get table tops that are striking, and unique, while also being congruous, so that the entire restaurant will come together as a concerted whole.

Our tables are great for this because what we offer you are different mosaic stone patterns. Each pattern can be turned into multiple tables of different sizes and shapes. That means that you can have matched tables in the bar area, for booths, and even as large family style serving tables. Whatever you need, all made from a matched pattern, to your restaurants exact size specifications.

While every table will be matched, the natural stone pieces used to make it will actually be unique. This means that the tables will create a sense of whole, while at the same time providing interest to the eyes, and a unique personality and ambiance for the entire room.
