Hi. I have to buy 7 - 2'x2' tables, 2 - 30"x42", and 3 - 24"x48" tables for a deli renovation. The tables I was looking at buying are in a restaurant equipment supply catalog, and if you know anything about those, they're just OK. Basically they are wood grained formica over particle board with "T molding" i.e. plastic molding around the edges. They come with a heavy black metal base that you screw into the top, and only cost $30 to $50 each. They're cheap, sturdy and look OK, but nothing to write home about.
I'm wondering if anybody makes or knows of a good place I can get nicer table tops. I could even buy the metal base alone from the supply store and mount the nicer wood tops to it. I can't really use tables with 4 wooden legs as some of these tables are for booths and others are in tight spaces. Also, the metal bases come with levelers on the feet, which will be needed for the slate floor.
The room is going to be a sunflower yellow with multicolor slate floors and earth-tone suede/vinyl booths. I'm not sure what kind of wood I would like here, either light or dark, but this seemed like a good place to ask around.
Thanks, dwhite
