Restaurant Tabletops

Solid Wood Restaurant Table Tops — Built for Daily Service

TimeWorn builds restaurant table tops 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. If you’re equipping a new concept or refreshing a dining room, start here for sizes, species, finishes, and timelines.

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 (What Works in Restaurants)

• Walnut — premium tone/grain; great for upscale rooms.
• 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.

Collections (6 Surface Styles)

• Mixed Plank Table Tops — bold, 3–5″ boards; casual, modern look. 
• Standard Plank Table Tops — 1½–2″ staves; antique oak/pine with authentic marks.
• Classic Line Table Tops— clean-lined plank pattern with narrow ~1¼–1½″ boards.
• Butcher Block Table Tops — narrow staves; uniform grain, ultra‑stable. 
• Distressed — hand‑worked character that hides wear. 
• Rustic Patina — preserved saw‑textured surfaces; artisan feel.

Finish That Survives Daily Cleaning

Our SEFA‑8 acrylic polyurethane is engineered for front‑of‑house realities—sanitizers, wine, coffee, and heat. It resists chemicals and stays smooth under frequent cleaning, unlike conversion varnish or lacquer that often softens in 1–4 years.

Lead Time & Logistics

• Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks from signed contract + deposit.
• Shipping: custom crating, nationwide delivery, coordinated install windows.
• Rush capacity: available on request—ask early.

Buying Considerations (Quick Guide)

• Colors & Sheen — match species/stain to your brand palette. Request a 12″×12″ sample. 
• Size & Shape — rectangular for flexibility; rounds for intimacy; drop‑leaf for compact footprints.
• Customization & Branding — CNC‑engraved logos, routed edge profiles, custom shapes. 
• Accessibility — seat width targets and ≥36″ aisle clearance; edge radii for booth comfort. See the Buyer’s Guide. 
• Adaptability — spec a few convertible tables (e.g., drop‑leaf or clip‑together) to handle peak hours without crowding.
