What’s In A Cafe Table?

It goes without saying that the food and menu is important to any cafe but there are several other factors that customers consider in deciding whether or not to visit. Sometimes the ambience of a cafe matters almost as much as the quality of the coffee and the taste of the food. If you give some thought to the cafes in your local area that seem to be the most popular chances are they serve good food and coffee and also have a welcoming ambience.

The importance of ambience

So why is ambience so important to people? The word itself refers to the character of the venue and the atmosphere. It may take into account such things as how neat and tidy your cafe appears, how comfortable it is to eat there, whether the décor contributes to the mood, and how loud it is. For example imagine a couple bringing friends along to your beautiful cafe and not only are the waiters inattentive but it’s so noisy that they can’t even hear what each person is saying. This contributes to a bad experience which will be blamed on the ambience.

The right cafe tables

One important aspect of the ambience of your cafe is your choice of cafe tables. They need to be comfortable, convenient, and of a high quality. Although you may think tables and chairs don’t add that much to the ambience, customers do judge cafes by the appearance of their décor and furniture.

It’s especially important to get furniture that is robust and reliable. Something like a chair leg breaking or a table with sharp corners or one that wobbles badly when customers are dining, can be a source of embarrassment for cafe owners, and can damage the reputation of your venue. Customers can easily post a bad review online or put up a post to their Facebook friends which can have a severely negative impact.

What to look for

Some of the main qualities to look for when choosing cafe tables include:

  • durabiity and reliability
  • attractive appearance
  • comfortable in respect of its height and size
  • long lasting

Durability is very important as many commercial cafe tables face tough situations. Some people seek out the cheapest tables they can find as they think quality comes with a price. This however is far from the truth. There are plenty of quality table options for any budget. Take a look at our table packages, for example. Many of these have been AFRDI tested which means they are proven to withstand the daily rigours of the busiest establishment, and they won’t break the bank either. Or you may want to consider our replica Tolix meeting tables and benches. They have a steel frame and a timber top and are about as tough as you can get.
