Restaurant tables · tops + bases
Sintered stone, marble-look, travertine and solid wood tops paired with column, X, disc and A-frame bases, sized by covers, weight and wobble. Made to order in Foshan.
Stone & Base (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) designs and manufactures restaurant tables as matched top-and-base packages: sintered stone, marble-look, travertine-look, dark stone-look and solid wood tops on steel, cast-iron and timber bases. We build to order in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China, issue shop drawings before production and ship factory-direct to restaurant designers and operators in the US and Europe.
The Calder Column System is one flat-steel column base engineered to carry four top sizes — 30 in square, 30 × 42 in, 35½ in round and a 42 in bar-height top — so a whole dining room reads as one family.

Stone-Top Tables pair white marble-look sintered stone and veined stone surfaces with a protective solid-wood band and steel, brass-shod or cast-iron bases.

Dark-Top Bistro Tables set a fine-textured charcoal surface inside a warm timber band, on cone, cast-iron, column and four-post bases, for brasseries, wine bars and steak rooms.

Solid Wood Tables use walnut- and oak-toned timber tops on fluted columns, wedge plinths, steel plates and four-post bases for restaurants that want warmth and a surface that can be refinished.

Communal Tables are 8- to 12-seat long tables on A-frame, twin-column and slab-leg bases, sized for central floors, group bookings and walk-in sharing.

A table top is judged on its tenth month, not its first night. We specify sintered stone where hot plates and red wine are routine, real-wood tops where warmth matters more than abuse, and timber-banded inset tops where edges take the knocks. Every quote states thickness, edge and weight per top.
Wobble is almost always a base problem: too small a spread, too light a foot, no adjustable glide. We size every base to its top's width, height and weight, fit levelling glides as standard, and switch to twin bases or A-frames once a top passes four covers.
Two-tops, four-tops, rounds, high-tops and the communal table drawn as one family, with the same edge detail and base language in every size. You approve a single drawing package, we build the complete table schedule, and it arrives labelled by table number.

Send the plan, cover count and service style. We return a table schedule with suggested sizes for two-tops, four-tops and larger parties, plus the top material and base type for each zone.
Every table is drawn with top size, thickness, edge profile, base spread, column section and overall height. Nothing is cut until you sign the drawings off.
Request finish chips and stone swatches, or a complete pre-production table, so you can check colour, edge feel and stability before the full run is built.
Tops and bases are built in our Foshan production base, assembled, levelled and checked against the drawings, then knocked down and export-packed by table number.
We ship FOB, CIF or DDP as quoted. Bases bolt to tops with pre-set inserts, and glides are adjusted on site in minutes with a standard wrench.
ADA 2010 dining surface rules explained: 28–34 in table height, 27 in knee clearance, 30 × 48 in clear floor space, the 5% rule, bars and which table bases work.
Match restaurant table bases to top size: spread vs top diameter rules, X vs disc vs twin bases, bar-height sizing, heavy stone tops and how to stop tables wobbling.
Restaurant table sizes for 2, 4, 6 and 8 covers, round vs square vs rectangle, plus heights, spacing and aisle widths. A practical chart for designers and owners.
A 24 × 30 in (61 × 76 cm) top is the practical minimum for a two-top in casual dining; 30 × 30 in (76 × 76 cm) gives room for shared plates, wine and bread. Use 24 × 24 in only for café service or drinks. A 30 in deep top also lets two two-tops push together into a 30 × 60 in four-top, which is the most flexible layout for a small room.
Standard dining height is 29–30 in (74–76 cm) to the top surface, paired with an 18 in (46 cm) seat, which leaves the usual 10–12 in seat-to-top gap. Counter height is 36 in (91 cm) with 24–26 in stools; bar height is 42 in (107 cm) with 30 in stools. For accessible seating under the ADA 2010 Standards, the dining surface must be 28–34 in high.
For most busy restaurants, yes. Sintered stone has very low porosity, so wine, oil and coffee don't soak in, and it tolerates hot plates. Natural marble is beautiful but etches under acids like lemon, wine and vinegar and needs regular sealing. Sintered stone's weak point is a chipped edge, which is why we usually set it inside a solid-wood band or specify a mitred thick edge.
Most wobble comes from four causes: a base that is too small for the top, an uneven floor, loose fixings between top and base, and a base that is too light at bar height. Size the base to roughly 60–70% of the top's width, fit adjustable glides, use threaded steel inserts in the top rather than wood screws, and step up to twin bases once a top reaches about 48 in long.
At dining height a 36 in (91 cm) round top normally sits on a 22 in (56 cm) four-arm cross base or a heavy disc base of about 20–22 in. For bar height, increase the spread, to around 22–24 in, or use a heavier plate, because leverage on a 42 in column is much greater. We confirm the base size on the shop drawing for every top.
Yes. Every Stone & Base table is made to order. Standard sizes are starting points; we redraw tops in the size, shape, thickness and edge your plan requires, and set height for dining, counter or bar service. Each change is shown on the shop drawing for approval before production.
