Poseur tables

They are usually designed to a high specification, to withstand the heavy use typical of contract and leisure industry environments.

The materials used range from aluminium, which is light and low in cost, to heavier duty powder coated steel or cast iron, which is more expensive. Solid wood gives an attractive, high quality feel, although durable veneers or wood-effect laminates are more commonly specified for contract projects with tight budgets.

Circular, square or rectangular bases are popular, as they provide a clear space beneath the table for leg room.

Cafe and restaurant tables are lower in height. Table tops and table bases can also be specified separately.
