Restaurant Tabletops

Built for Daily Service

TimeWorn builds solid wood restaurant tabletops that hold up to hot plates, daily cleaning, and real traffic. We mill U.S. hardwoods, machine with CNC precision, and finish with an industrial SEFA‑8 acrylic polyurethane that stays smooth—no tacky feel after a year of wipes. And if you’re equipping a new concept or refreshing a dining room, start here for sizes, species, finishes, and timelines.

Restaurant Tabletop Sizes & Seating (Quick Rules)

• Per guest width: ~18″ for bars/quick‑service; ~24″ for casual/fine dining.
• Clearance: keep aisles at ≥36″ for comfortable access.
• Flexible floor: mix compact two‑tops and convertible four‑tops to handle peaks.

Best Wood Species for Solid Wood Restaurant Tabletops

• Walnut — premium tone/grain; great for upscale rooms. Popular for a reason.
• Quarter‑Sawn White Oak — extremely stable and wear‑resistant.
• Maple — clean/modern look; works well for quick‑ship programs and modern designs.
• Ash — strong grain and excellent value.
• Cherry — warm, reddish-brown that deepens with age; classic, upscale dining rooms.
• Reclaimed Oak/Pine — rustic character; ideal for bars and breweries.

Many operators blend species by zone—e.g., walnut in dining, reclaimed white oak on the bar—for contrast without losing cohesion.

Solid Wood  Tabletop Collections (6 Surface Styles)

• Mixed Plank Table Tops — bold, 3–5″ boards; casual, modern look.

Finish That Survives Daily Cleaning

Our SEFA-8 acrylic polyurethane, for instance, is engineered for the realities of front-of-house use, resisting sanitizers, wine, coffee, and heat. It effectively resists chemicals and remains smooth under frequent cleaning. This is unlike conversion varnish or lacquer, which often soften within 1–4 years. Significantly, it was designed solely for solid wood restaurant tabletops.

• Regarding accessibility, target seat width and ensure ≥36″ aisle clearance; also consider edge radii for booth comfort. See the Buyer’s Guide.
