Dining table top sizes are recommended to be 800mm be it encircle or square. Should space is tight then
width of
table may be reduced to no less than 750mm. If there is room, then several group size tables can be deployed using round table sizes of 1000mm. One of
overiding considerations is knowing your client. The restaurant could be targetted towards certain demographic marketing groups such as couples, groups of business people, small groups of friends.
Since most dining table bases are sold separately to
table tops,
smart eating house owner has options at their disposal. The table base is very important as it is an indication of
owners attention to detail which will make all
difference in

The dining table foundation must be strong and heavy to prevent
table being easily knocked over creating accidents and disruption to restaurant service. The table base must also be designed so that there is space for
elegant diner to place their legs and have freedom of movement without knocking their shins.
