FAQ

A 24 × 30 in (61 × 76 cm) top is the practical minimum for a two-top in casual dining; 30 × 30 in (76 × 76 cm) gives room for shared plates, wine and bread. Use 24 × 24 in only for café service or drinks. A 30 in deep top also lets two two-tops push together into a 30 × 60 in four-top, which is the most flexible layout for a small room.

Standard dining height is 29–30 in (74–76 cm) to the top surface, paired with an 18 in (46 cm) seat, which leaves the usual 10–12 in seat-to-top gap. Counter height is 36 in (91 cm) with 24–26 in stools; bar height is 42 in (107 cm) with 30 in stools. For accessible seating under the ADA 2010 Standards, the dining surface must be 28–34 in high.

For most busy restaurants, yes. Sintered stone has very low porosity, so wine, oil and coffee don't soak in, and it tolerates hot plates. Natural marble is beautiful but etches under acids like lemon, wine and vinegar and needs regular sealing. Sintered stone's weak point is a chipped edge, which is why we usually set it inside a solid-wood band or specify a mitred thick edge.

Most wobble comes from four causes: a base that is too small for the top, an uneven floor, loose fixings between top and base, and a base that is too light at bar height. Size the base to roughly 60–70% of the top's width, fit adjustable glides, use threaded steel inserts in the top rather than wood screws, and step up to twin bases once a top reaches about 48 in long.

At dining height a 36 in (91 cm) round top normally sits on a 22 in (56 cm) four-arm cross base or a heavy disc base of about 20–22 in. For bar height, increase the spread, to around 22–24 in, or use a heavier plate, because leverage on a 42 in column is much greater. We confirm the base size on the shop drawing for every top.

Yes. Every Stone & Base table is made to order. Standard sizes are starting points; we redraw tops in the size, shape, thickness and edge your plan requires, and set height for dining, counter or bar service. Each change is shown on the shop drawing for approval before production.

In EASEN Commercial Furniture's own production base in Lecong, Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong, China. Foshan is the largest furniture manufacturing and trading hub in China, which gives us direct access to stone fabricators, steel shops and timber suppliers. We ship factory-direct; there is no local warehouse or distributor in between.

Typically 30–45 days for standard designs and 45–60 days for custom work, counted after shop drawings and any samples are approved, plus sea-freight transit to your port. The confirmed schedule is written into each quote, because it depends on quantity, top material and current production load.

Yes. We can send finish chips, stone and laminate swatches, and timber colour samples, or build a complete pre-production table so you can check stability, edge detail and colour in your own space. Sample terms are confirmed in the quote.

Tops are crated or packed in reinforced cartons with edge protection; bases ship separately, knocked down, with fixings bagged per table. Every carton carries the table number from your schedule. We quote FOB, CIF or DDP on request and welcome mixed containers with seating from other EASEN lines.

The ADA 2010 Standards require at least 5% of dining seating to be at accessible dining surfaces, 28–34 in high, with knee clearance at least 27 in high, 30 in wide and 17 in deep. We can draw any table to those dimensions, for example using a cross base that keeps the knee zone clear. Final compliance depends on placement and your accessibility review.

Sintered stone tolerates hot plates and cast-iron serving pans far better than engineered quartz, laminate or lacquered wood. Natural stone is heat tolerant but can mark. For wood, laminate and quartz tops we recommend trivets under anything straight from the oven. The specified material is stated on every drawing.

A solid-wood band gives the best protection against chips and feels warm under the forearm. A mitred thick edge, typically 2 in (5 cm), shows the stone as a solid slab while keeping weight down. Thin bare edges on sintered stone should be eased or bevelled, never left sharp, because sharp edges chip first.

Yes, on project quantities. We supply bases sized to your existing tops, or tops drilled for your bases, provided we have the dimensions and fixing pattern. Matching both sides on one drawing remains the most reliable way to avoid wobble and misaligned holes.
