Brand Snapshot (Authority · Trust · Delivery)

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

Why Laminate Restaurant Tables Win Globally

  • Durability per dollar: HPL surfaces resist scratches, stains, and daily sanitizing—ideal for high-turn venues.

  • Hygiene & cleanability: Non-porous faces + sealed edges minimize moisture ingress.

  • Design flexibility: Hundreds of décors (wood, stone, solid colors) to match brand palettes.

  • Weight & logistics: Lighter than stone; easier to install and reconfigure across chain locations.

Fast Specs (Inches • Millimeters)

Standard height: 29–30 in (740–760 mm)
Chair seat height pairing: 17–18 in (430–460 mm)
Knee clearance: ≥27 in (685 mm)

Typical Sizes & Seats

Rectangular — 24"×24" (610×610) 2 pax · 24"×30" (610×760) 2 pax · 30"×30" (760×760) 2–4 pax · 30"×48" (760×1220) 4–6 pax · 30"×60" (760×1525) 6 pax · 30"×72" (760×1830) 6–8 pax

Ops tip: Use 24"×30" two-tops that push together into a 48"×30" four-top during peak periods.

HPL vs. Compact Laminate (What to Specify)

Surface System Build Best For Pros Notes
HPL on Core (a.k.a. fireproof board) High-pressure laminate bonded to MR particleboard or plywood Indoor cafés, QSR, dining halls Cost-efficient, huge décor library, easy to service Demand moisture-resistant (MR) core + sealed edges
Compact Laminate (Phenolic) Solid, resin-impregnated core; no separate substrate Indoor–outdoor transitions, heavy duty Ultra-durable, waterproof core, sleek thin profile Needs compatible inserts/fasteners; heavier bases for big tops

Edge Options (Hygiene & Impact):

  • Post-formed HPL edge: seamless wrap, clean look

  • PVC/ABS edge band (2–3 mm): impact-tough, economical

  • Self-edge HPL with bevel: crisp, modern; seal corners

  • Solid wood edge + HPL face: warm touch; specify finish & radius

Base Selection (Stability Before Style)

  • 2-tops (24"×24", Ø30") → T-base or Ø17–19" disc

  • 4-tops (30"×30", 24"×48") → larger T-base or Ø22" disc

  • Long rectangles / Ø54–60" roundsdual T-bases or heavy disc pair

  • Compact/Outdoorweighted, corrosion-resistant bases with leveling glides

Space saver: Flip-top mechanisms help cafés nest and store quickly.

Cleanability & Safety (Front-of-House Reality)

  • Sanitizers: HPL/compact surfaces tolerate frequent disinfection; avoid abrasive pads.

  • Seam control: Demand sealed edges and underside sealing to block moisture.

  • Heat & stain: Verify samples against coffee, wine, oil, and hot crock wear.

  • Docs: Request material data sheets + cleaning guide for staff training.

Durability & QC Checklist (What to Ask Your Vendor)

  • Flatness & bond: Laminate adhesion test; diagonal flatness checks

  • Edge integrity: Gap ≤0.2 mm; sealed corners; no glue squeeze-out

  • Insert pull-out: Verified for your base bolts (especially compact laminate)

  • Finish match: Décor code + sheen consistency across batches

  • Export packing: Edge guards, moisture barrier, shock-tested cartons/crates

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 a clear route.

Maintenance Plan

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

  • Weekly: Check fasteners, glides, and edge sealing

  • Quarterly: Inspect high-traffic tops; replace edge bands if damaged

  • Avoid: Abrasives/solvents; prolonged standing water at seams

Sourcing Workflow (Frictionless Global Rollouts)

  1. Brief & seat targets — 2-top/4-top mix, concept palette, desired ambiance

  2. Material board — HPL/compact laminate, décor codes, edge type, base finish

  3. Prototype & validation — sample top; on-model photos/video; wipe test results

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

  5. Production & ISO QC — dimension/finish checks, insert pull-out tests

  6. Export packing & shipping — consolidated containers; customs docs

  7. After-sales — care guide, spare glides/edge tape, warranty terms

Pricing Levers (Hit Target Without Losing Quality)

  • HPL grade & décor, MR core vs. plywood

  • Edge type (post-formed vs. PVC/ABS vs. bevel)

  • Base type/weight; outdoor coatings

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

  • Accessories (power grommets, bag hooks, cable ports)

Share your budget per table and lifecycle (years)—we’ll engineer a spec that meets both.

FAQs

Q1: Are laminate restaurant tables durable enough for heavy traffic?
Yes—HPL on a moisture-resistant core with sealed edges is a proven workhorse for cafés and QSR.

Q2: When should I choose compact laminate instead of HPL on core?
Pick compact laminate for indoor–outdoor, wet zones, or maximum abuse resistance.

Q3: Can I keep décor consistency across countries?
Absolutely. We standardize décor codes and provide local equivalents for global rollouts.

Q4: Do you support pilot orders before a chain rollout?
Yes—pilot batches follow the same tooling and QC logic as mass production.
