As a restaurateur, you can purchase restaurant furniture that uses one of the standard wood finishes. These look great and can be long wearing. For that little extra in style, you could consider one of the special wood finishes that are available.

Standard wood finishes include the popular cherry, walnut and mahogany. Special finishes add a little extra like regal cherry, light walnut and gunstuck mahogany. These special finishes are much richer in color with the wood grain enhanced.

Polished timber finishes on table tops generally wear well. It is often a good idea to use place mats rather than tablecloths. Place mats of course leave much of the table top in view. Tablecloths hide the finish completely. You could have a plastic table top and no one would know.

Wood finishes should be treated like any other surface in your restaurant. A good wipe down with a damp cloth should remove any spills. Wood finishes are generally stain proof although they can be harmed by excess heat - but then, most surfaces will as well.

Finding the right wood finish for your restaurant furniture is not that difficult. You can view many of the finished products either on line or in an agent’s showroom. Many traveling reps carry brochures and maybe even sample cards so you can compare wood finishes to the general decor of the restaurant.

A more convenient way to check out the latest in restaurant furniture wood finishes is to visit a specialist restaurant furniture store like the SeatingExpert. You can compare standard and special wood finishes along with a wide variety of table tops and table bases.
