Posted on by hummingbird

For more than 30 years, Table Topics has been manufacturing high-quality commercial dining tables. We design and build more than 20,000 tables a year in our factory in Elberta, Alabama. Here in this beautiful region of the Gulf Coast, we’re near road, rail and air transportation routes. Our tables have made their way to restaurants, neighborhood bars and conference rooms throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.

No matter where you are, we’ve got representatives nearby, ready to talk tables. From project design to specifications to delivery, they can help you every step of the way. Our experienced in-house design team is committed to quality and precision and a creative design that fulfills your vision.

Our manufacturing process starts with the best in raw materials, hand selected for quality and appearance. We put those materials and an array of precision equipment in the hands of our highly skilled woodworkers. They put their craftsmanship and eye for detail to work. They test material tolerances. They mix and apply custom stains. They apply our beautiful and durable Acralyte finish through our patented process. They take pride in their work and it shows. You’ll be proud, too, of the quality and value of your table design.

Your next project is our next priority. We’ve been around for three decades and we plan to continue to proudly produce the best in custom tables for years to come. Give us a call today and get started on your next made-in-the-U.S.A. project.

Creative Base Styles for Communal Tables

Posted on by hummingbird

For large as well as small tables, the base is the foundation of a good design. Table Topics has a gallery of communal and bar top options for your consideration, and an expert design team available to help as you plan your project. For some, functionality is the sole purpose due to the specifics of space or placement. We have custom-coated T bases , attractive disc foot options and many more.

Where aesthetics is top priority, bases can extend the look of your table top – like this whiskey barrel base, which is a key element of the table’s style. Or they can add a character of their own like this elaborate bridge base or this rustic metal pipe option. One of our favorites features panel bases with a split log illusion.

Just as with every other element of your design and every phase of your project, the Table Topics team will work with you to find the base that best supports your vision. Contact us to start the conversation now.

 

Consider Your Profile

Posted on by hummingbird

For thirty years, Table Topics has been an industry innovator in both quality and design. Our creative process offers our clients customization options in every element of the design. One of those elements often overlooked by others is the table profile.

All our insets are available with a two-inch standard frame or half-inch budget frame. These frames can be painted or made from our selection of solid woods and routed to a variety of edge profiles. Precision craftsmanship allows for subtle differences among our dozen or more profile choices.

Available standard profiles include bullnose, eased and waterfall options. Additional deluxe profiles include bevel, reverse bevel, modern ogee, Euro, double beaded and more. The profile chart in the frame section of our specification guide offers a view of all the options. We also have profiles especially designed for bar tops: bullnose, spill-proof bullnose, eased and Chicago rail.

To determine the edge profile shape that suits your project, check out our specification guide and get in touch with a member of our team to talk about your options. Put Table Topics to work for you today.

 

Finishing Strong: The Acralyte Process

Posted on by hummingbird

Our products are set apart by our patented Acralyte finish. Available exclusively from Table Topics, this is more than a beautiful finish. Acralyte eliminates issues with heat, abrasion and chemical wear associated with epoxy resin finishes. We spent years in research and development and the outcome is a process that results in a finish with unmatched quality and durability.

Acralyte outperforms traditional finishes such as epoxy resin, polyester resin, lacquer, varnish and polyurethane. We use specially formulated glues, extended drying cycles and a proprietary UV curing procedure. The entire process is closely monitored and refined. The result is a superior product, engineered for durability.

The Acralyte finish is one main reason our custom-crafted tables are tops in the industry. Our people are another. Our entire manufacturing process depends on the skill and experience of our craftsmen as well as the quality of our materials and processes. But ultimately it all starts with you. Your creation begins with a conversation with our expert design team about your needs and priorities.

Let’s start the conversation today and put our people and processes to work for you. The result will be a beautiful, functional, durable table design that will serve you for years to come.
