Key takeaways

1. Daily cleaning that does not damage the finish

Use a pH-neutral detergent diluted in warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid bleach, solvent sprays and abrasive pads — they strip the protective layer on solid wood or laminate top and leave the surface porous, which then stains faster. Wipe spills immediately; most permanent marks on dining tables are 20-minute-old spills, not manufacturing defects.

2. Weekly and monthly checks

Once a week, flip a chair and check the fasteners — loosened bolts are the first sign of frame fatigue and cost nothing to fix at this stage. Once a month, inspect the contract table base at stress points and the feet or glides. Replacing glides on a schedule costs a few cents per chair and prevents floor damage that costs thousands.

3. Repairs you can do in-house

Surface scuffs on solid wood or laminate top can be blended with a matching touch-up pen. Wobbly legs usually mean one bolt, not a broken frame. Upholstered seats can be re-covered locally if you keep the original fabric code on file — ask your supplier for it at order time, because matching a discontinued fabric two years later is the expensive way to learn this lesson.

4. When to repair and when to replace

Repair if the contract table base is intact and the damage is cosmetic. Replace if the joint has opened, the tube has bent, or the finish is failing across the whole batch — whole-batch finish failure means the coating was wrong for your environment, and repairing it chair by chair never catches up. Keeping a 10% spare inventory makes replacement painless.

5. Lifespan you should actually plan for

Properly specified dining tables in hotel restaurants and banquet rooms last 5–10 years. Chairs bought on price alone for the same room typically last 2–3. The difference is usually the frame gauge and the finish, not the design — which is why spec sheets matter more than photos when you are comparing quotes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOQ for dining tables?

Stocked models start from 2 pieces per model and can be mixed within one container. Made-to-spec runs start higher because the line has to be set up for your finish.

How long does production take?

15–25 days after sample approval for most dining tables, plus 3–7 days for sampling and then transit. Custom fabric or colour adds about a week.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. We ship a single sample for approval; sampling is the step that fixes every later date, so we recommend doing it before locking an opening schedule.

Do you support custom colours and fabrics?

Yes — frame colour, upholstery fabric, seat density and logo application are all available on dining tables. Custom work adds roughly 5–10 days.

What cleaner should never be used?

Bleach, solvent sprays and abrasive pads. They strip the protective layer on solid wood or laminate top and make the surface stain faster.

How often should fasteners be checked?

Weekly in the first month, then monthly. Loose bolts are cheap to fix early and expensive once the joint wears.
