Tag: Classic Restaurant Table Tops

Ash Restaurant Tabletops bring a clean, bright look with lasting strength and value. Ash is a dense hardwood that rivals oak in durability but costs less, making it ideal for high-traffic spaces. Each top uses kiln-dried, quarter-sawn ash for stability and straight grain. We hand-sand every surface smooth and seal it with our matte commercial finish to resist heat, cleaning, and daily wear. The light neutral tone pairs easily with black metal bases, brass details, or pale flooring. See our full line of Classic Line Table Tops or view real installations in our Gallery.

Defined by Stave Width and Table Thickness

Classic Ash tabletops follow our precise build standard. Each stave measures between 1 1/8″ and 1 3/8″ wide, and each top is 1 1/2″ thick. You can optionally adjust thickness for a lighter or heavier profile. The semi-transparent finish highlights the quarter-sawn grain and adds natural elegance. Ash’s light, neutral tone complements nearly any restaurant interior, pairing value with beauty in a stable, long-lasting build. Because it blends strength, style, and affordability, it remains our most cost-effective option.
