Walnut character, tuned for modern service
Classic Distressed Walnut delivers deep brown tones and black-stained grain, with hand-eased edges and intentional character that reads authentic without feeling rustic. Multiple coats of matte acrylic polyurethane add heat, wear, and chemical resistance for a restaurant tabletop that wipes clean quickly and keeps its luster over time.

Built to spec, consistent across locations
We size and shape each top to your program—rounds, squares, rectangles, banquettes—and keep specs consistent from order to order. Quarter-sawn stability, tight stave selection, and repeatable edge work ensure a clean install and an easy re-order. For a step-by-step look at sizing, edge profiles, pre-drilling, and QC, walk our build process.
- Standard 1½” thickness (other options available) and 1⅛”–1⅜” stave width
- Hand-worked edges reduce corner chipping and feel smooth to the touch
- Matte acrylic polyurethane—proven for real-world service and easy upkeep
Design notes for layout, comfort, and flow
Distressed Walnut anchors the room without going flat, and the subtle texture helps disguise the light scuffs that commercial table tops collect between turns. For tighter aisles, 30×30 squares or 30″ rounds seat well without crowding; for flexibility, mix squares and rounds to soften sightlines and maintain turning capacity. Communal runs benefit from 36–42″ widths for comfortable elbow room.
One cohesive look across the room
We can pre-drill to your base pattern for repeatable installs, radius corners near booths, and add underside sound-padding to calm the space. If your concept calls for large-party seating, we’ll color-match this finish across standard tops and long shared surfaces—see our communal tables for options and sizing guidance.
A sibling option with a smoother read
Prefer the same walnut tone with fewer character marks? Consider Classic Walnut – Original for a cleaner surface that still pairs well with your restaurant table design and base selections.
