Brand Snapshot (Authority + Trust)

Zhongjing® Furniture (est. 2016) manufactures contract-grade solid wood dining tables, chairs, and booth seating for cafés, bistros, QSRs, hotels, corporate canteens, and school dining. We integrate design → prototyping → smart manufacturing → ISO QC → export packing → global shipping → after-sales, enabling chains to scale from first store to 100-store rollout with consistent specs and OEM/ODM options.

Why Specify a Solid Wood Dining Table

  • Brand storytelling: Natural grain and warm tone elevate perceived quality and brand value.

  • Longevity: Refinishable surfaces reduce lifetime cost vs. frequent replacement.

  • Sustainability: FSC-available options; repairability > landfill.

  • Guest experience: Comfortable tactile edges and thermal feel improve dwell time and satisfaction.

Fast Specs (Inches • Millimeters)

Knee clearance: ≥27 in (685 mm)

Wood Species (Choose by Look, Budget & Wear)

Species Look & Tone Best For Notes
Oak Visible grain, neutral-warm Bistros, premium casual Hardwearing; takes stains well
Ash Bold grain, light tone Nordic/modern cafés Excellent for natural or light stains
Beech Fine grain, pale Contract projects Stable, cost-efficient, uniform
Rubberwood Light, subtle grain Value-engineered chains Sustainable, budget friendly
Walnut Dark, luxurious Boutique hotels, flagship stores Premium price; showcase lighting helps

Construction: Solid staves or finger-jointed lamellas with grain-matched orientation; breadboard ends optional for movement control on long tops.

Finish Systems (Durability × Cleanability × Feel)

  • 2K/PU commercial topcoat (matte/satin): Best all-round restaurant choice; stain/abrasion/heat resistant; easy daily care.

  • Hardwax oil: Warm touch and repairable on site; specify maintenance plan; good for premium casual.

  • Waterborne PU: Low odor/low VOC; ensure adequate film build for heavy traffic.

Edge Profiles: Eased R2–R4 for comfort; bullnose/waterfall for family dining; micro-bevel to hide minor edge wear.

Engineering for Stability (Contract-Grade Details)

  • Core & joinery: Anti-warp lamella layout; splines/dowels at seams; threaded inserts for base mounting.

  • Underside bracing: Steel channel or battens on long spans; keeps tops flat in AC/heated spaces.

  • Movement allowance: Slotted holes and figure-8 fasteners to accommodate seasonal expansion.

  • Base pairing:

    • 2-tops → T-base or Ø17–19" disc

    • 4-tops → larger T-base or Ø22" disc

    • Long rectangles / Ø54–60" rounds → dual T-bases or heavy disc pair

    • For stone/wood hybrids or extra-thick tops → weighted, corrosion-resistant bases with leveling glides

Hygiene & Safety (Front-of-House Reality)

  • Heat & stain: Specify topcoats tested against coffee, wine, oil, sanitizer.

  • Seam control: Tight joints; underside seal to reduce moisture ingress.

  • Edges & corners: Eased/radiused edges reduce chipping and guest impact risk.

  • Docs: Finish data sheets, cleaning guide, material traceability; E0/E1, CARB-phase or equivalent emission options on request.

Layout & Accessibility (Global-Friendly)

  • Main aisle: 36–48 in (915–1220 mm)

  • Table edge-to-edge: 18–24 in (455–610 mm)

  • Accessible dining: tabletop 28–34 in (710–865 mm) with 27 in (685 mm) knee clearance and at least one clear route.

Maintenance Plan (Extend Service Life)

  • Daily: Neutral pH cleaner + microfiber; wipe spills promptly.

  • Weekly: Check fasteners, leveling glides, and edge condition.

  • Quarterly: Renew oil/wax if applicable; touch-up clear coats as needed.

  • Avoid: Abrasives/solvents; soaking cloths at seams; direct outdoor exposure unless specified for exterior use.

QC & Packing Checklist (What to Ask Your Vendor)

  • Dimensional tolerance (±2 mm typical) & flatness check across diagonals

  • Film build & sheen match per finish swatch; cross-hatch adhesion test on samples

  • Insert pull-out tests for base fixings; wobble test with final base

  • Export packing: corner/edge guards, foam wrap, moisture barrier, crate or heavy-duty carton with skid

Sourcing Workflow (Frictionless Global Rollouts)

  1. Brief & seat targets — 2-top/4-top mix, concept palette, target dwell time

  2. Material board — species, stain, sheen; base finish (black, brass, gunmetal, etc.)

  3. Prototype & validation — sample top; on-model photos/video; edge profile sign-off

  4. Spec lock & labeling — SKU, barcodes, franchise kits, install drawings

  5. Production & ISO QC — dimension, finish, stability, and packaging checks

  6. Shipping — consolidated containers; incoterms; documents for customs

  7. After-sales — care guide, spare glides/repair kit, warranty terms

Pricing Levers (Hit Your Target Without Losing Quality)

  • Species selection & grade (knots allowance, lamella width)

  • Top thickness & edge type (eased vs. bullnose)

  • Finish system (2K/PU vs. hardwax oil) and sheen

  • Base type/weight and hardware

  • Order volume and rollout cadence (pilot → batch → chain)

Share your budget per table and expected service life (years); we’ll optimize the spec to meet both.

FAQs

Q1: Will solid wood tops survive heavy restaurant use?
Yes—when paired with commercial topcoats (2K/PU), proper base support, and a simple care plan.

Q2: What thickness should I choose?
25–32 mm suits most restaurants; >38 mm for premium statements or long spans with added bracing.

Q3: Can we refinish after years of service?
Absolutely. Solid wood allows sanding and re-coating to refresh color and sheen.

Q4: How do we keep tops flat across seasons?
Use engineered lamella construction, underside bracing, and movement-friendly fasteners; control indoor humidity.
