Classic Ash — Original delivers the clean, light look designers love with the workhorse strength operators need. Ash is a dense hardwood—comparable to oak in durability—yet more budget-friendly, making it a smart pick for high-traffic restaurant tabletops.We build these wood restaurant table tops from kiln-dried, full-length, quarter-sawn Ash for stability and tight, straight grain. Each top is hand-sanded smooth and sealed on all sides with our durable commercial finish (low-sheen matte) that stands up to daily cleaning, heat, and busy service.

Versatile tone: light, neutral color that complements a wide range of interiors
Refined grain: linear, consistent pattern without visual clutter
Built for service: quarter-sawn construction + commercial finish = long wear life

Where Classic Ash Fits

Classic Ash — Original is ideal when you want a brighter room read without going stark white. The neutral palette pairs easily with black or brass bases, light floors, and mixed textures. If you need to “tune” the warmth while keeping the same Classic Line construction, try shifting to Classic Ash — Honey for a touch more gold, or deepen the mood with Classic Ash — Pecan or Classic Ash — Truffle.

Plan Your Roll-Out

We can pre-drill for your table bases, match edge profiles to brand standards, and coordinate long runs or banquettes. For cohesive spaces, carry the tone to
bar tops or seat groups at communal tables. If you’re comparing wood restaurant tables across species, head back to Restaurant Table Tops for a quick side-by-side view.

Quick tip: Ash takes stain beautifully. If the project calls for a subtle shift in color without changing grain clarity, moving from Original to Honey or Pecan is often all you need.
