Case Study: Communal Tables for Residence Inn

At Table Topics, we’re always up for a creative challenge. Recently, we were approached with a new project to design and build a pair of communal tables for the Marriott’s Standards Program.

The requirements for the project were that the tables be counter height and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. The client also requested that the tables seat at least eight and include power and USB charging outlets, as well as be in the barnboard style with two separate color schemes.

As with every project at Table Topics our creative team started with the concept drawings to determine the look and construction details. From that, we created renderings, which gave our client an excellent visual of not only what the table would look like, but what different veneer patterns, stain colors, and leg cap materials would look like as well.

Once the design phase was completed and finishes were chosen, the fabrication phase began. Our team carefully handcrafted each and every detail, starting with the construction of the tabletop itself, hand laying multi-species, barnboard style veneers to give the table its desired look.

After finishing the assembly and applying the stain—which of course was finished with our exclusive AcralyteX coating to protect the tables for years to come—our team finalized the wiring details. And as usual, the final result was nothing short of stunning: one gray stained communal table with bronze leg caps and one communal table with brown stain and stainless steel leg caps.

It’s just another example of the skilled expertise of our team and the beautifully unique pieces we create. Give us a call today and let our team help you create your vision.

 

Add Custom Power to Your Tables

Many factors contribute to the functionality of your tables. Through the years as needs vary and trends change, Table Topics has built a reputation on providing the customization and innovation our customers require. One increasingly popular option is equipping tables with power connections.

Power connectors to meet your specifications can be added to table tops, aprons, legs or panel bases.

Options designed for convenience as well as aesthetics include

  • standard duplex power or USB charging outlets.
  • surface-mounted or pop-up outlets.
  • mounting to standard-height dining, counter or bar tables.
  • adding to wood or metal bases or to wood, stone, digital or metallic tops.
