In this commercial furniture buying guide we'll take you through 4 key things to remember when buying bar tables.
Tables are a key investment for your bar or pub, so it’s vital to make sure every box is ticked when it comes to finding a table that will withstand heavy use while looking great for years to come. Trent Furniture has a great range of commercial bar furniture, so it’s easy to find the perfect bar table and matching chairs and stools.
When making your decision on which bar table to choose, don’t forget to think about the following:
- Bar table height
- Bar table shape
- Bar table finish
- Bar table durability.
We'll now take you through each of these points in turn, and explain in more detail why they are all worth bearing in mind when choosing your bar table.
Getting your bar table height right
Trent’s extensive range of bar tables, chairs and stools are all standardised so that any combination of chair and table or high stool and tall bar table will work together seamlessly. However, if you are buying bar tables to go with existing chairs, it’s essential to make sure that the table is the correct height so that your chairs will stack under it neatly and provide ample legroom for customers. Also, when buying bar stools, it’s vital to check that they are the correct height for your bar as well as for any poseur tables on your premises. Again, Trent Furniture’s tall bar stools are designed to work with the standard height of most UK bars.
What's the best bar table shape for your needs?
Rectangular and square bar tables are a popular choice as they can easily be used on their own or pushed together to accommodate larger groups. However, round bar tables provide an eye-catching contrast to square shapes and small circular bar tables paired with stools are the perfect solution when it comes to maximising your space in nooks and crannies where you may otherwise struggle to accommodate drinkers. This is particularly true in traditional pub settings where irregular floorplans are common. Styles like Trent Furniture’s popular Wellington bar table are available in a choice of shapes, heights and three finishes with various chair and stool options, meaning you can choose the same stylish theme throughout your varying bar furniture needs.
Perfect the look with a quality bar table finish
Wooden bar tables are the most popular choice for bars and pubs as not only does wood look great, it’s easy to care for too. Most of Trent Furniture’s wooden bar tables are available in a light oak, warm walnut or dark oak finish and your choice will depend on whether you wish to create a bright modern atmosphere or a more cosy and traditional ambience for your guests. As well as being available in a great range of sizes and shapes, all Trent Furniture’s bar tables can be supplied in either a solid or veneer finish.
Durability - buy bar tables that really last
No matter what style of bar table you choose, its ability to withstand heavy use by people who may not treat your bar furniture as carefully as they would their own dining table, is a must. Contract strength is essential to withstand everyday kicks and spillages. Trent Furniture’s bar tables have solid hardwood or cast iron bases, designed to look fantastic as they endure year after year.
