Buying guide: How to choose Bar Tables

When it comes to furnishing a room, Bar Tables and Coffee Tables play a key role.

A touch of style and an element of rest for customers, they must also be comfortable for the staff; having to serve between bulky counters is no picnic!

Furnishing a bar can be both exciting and frightening at the same time; surely the fact of making your business idea true can only be pleasant. On the other hand, the “to-do list” just to get started can be, for many, a nightmare.
Choosing name, style, menu, counter, colours, chairs and bar tables; the list then goes on constantly and exponentially. Or at least this is what we wish all our entrepreneur customers: to evolve and grow. And continue to furnish with ProduceShop!

What is crucial: quality and strength

It seems obvious to talk about quality in a buying guide, but perhaps it is better to specify a couple of useful tips.

For example, having to buy large quantities of a specific product, you will often choose to buy in stock; this is a great solution, but don’t be enchanted by the seller with the lowest price. In many cases, they try to sell off bad or low quality products in this way, leaving the customer with many defective items and a bitter disappointment. We at ProduceShop have decided rather to reward quality; all our items are tested and chosen to guarantee a very affordable price, but not at the expense of the product features.

Resistance is linked to the quality of bar tables; we will move (and not always gently) the tables around the bar. Finding a broken table leg or a piece of shelf in your hands is certainly not what we imagine: that’s why you should also focus on resistance. Furthermore, the cleaning of the tables is often performed with chemicals, more or less aggressive. Being able to withstand years of scrubbing over time is a very positive quality for a bar table.

The tests we carry out on our products to guarantee quality and resistance ensure that each item complies with all industry standards and has the contract certification required for public places.

Style

The style of bar tables is always linked to that of the club: whether to contrast it, or to match it.

But just as we can choose between many types of tables, so even the bars are not all the same. In fact, we should combine suitable chairs and tables (but in general all the décor) to the various types of bars.
To make a short list and give you good food for thought:

  • the classic bar or café requires simple tables, easily movable and versatile, which make it easy for the waiters to pass by;
  • a bistro, which in addition to the bar service offers small catering, moves at a frenetic and fast pace; therefore light tables will be needed, with a slightly vintage look but resistant;
  • an Irish Pub will have high wooden tables, suitable for resisting big mugs of beer and hot sandwiches, as well as the jovial vehemence of the clients;
  • a modern coffee shop will be perfect with contemporary design tables with a central leg, with simple and minimalist lines. The industrial look is also in vogue, with wood and metal;
  • a pastry shop requires tables that are delicate, with light colours, simple but stylish; here too, a slightly vintage or classic touch would not be bad.

Before starting to buy immediately, ProduceShop wants to advise you to consider some factors when choosing:

  1. Type

    If the style and shape of the coffee table are more aesthetic choices than anything else, other characteristics have an importance linked to functionality. For example, it is essential to choose between high, low or medium tables. The height is certainly linked to the kind of bar, to the chairs or stools we will choose to place, to the destination of the table (drinks or meals).

    Another fundamental factor, which will also determine the comfort of the tables, will be the presence of one or more legs (usually 4). Depending on the position of the legs, the stability, the ability to move them, the obstacle and the encumbrance change. Evaluate everything carefully.

  2. Materials and Options

    Choose carefully the materials of your tables and bar tables, and be sure that many years will pass before you change them. If wood, glass (for tops) and metal (aluminium or steel) have always dominated the scene, today we see a rebirth of plastic materials; PVC, polypropylene, polycarbonate, high quality plastics, which not only give a fresher design to the tables, but underline some qualities such as ease of movement, storage and cleaning.

    As for the options, think of the umbrella stands of some outdoor tables, or the weighted bases of the plastic tables, or even hooks and supports or footrests. Here too, the offer is wide and varied, it all depends on what you want to offer your customers.

  3. Budget

    As always, think about the amount you can dispose of, and immediately afterwards choose your bar tables. Moreover, having to include the expense in a company budget, you have to pay even more attention; it is not always easy to recover too high a cost, if thrown carelessly. ProduceShop gives you a hand, offering you quality bar tables at very affordable prices. Especially for offers in stock.
