Furniture for Commercial Interiors That Works as Hard as You Do
Aesthetics are important but in commercial interiors, performance and longevity matter just as much. Tablemaker builds with solid oak, ash or beech, not composite or veneered boards. These hardwoods are durable, visually consistent and suitable for high traffic environments. Every design can be adjusted to suit the layout, height and finish requirements of the space.
Why is solid wood the better choice for trade projects?
Solid hardwood is stronger and more adaptable than veneer or chipboard. It does not swell or delaminate under pressure and can be sanded or refinished on site when needed. Veneered MDF, on the other hand, cannot be repaired once damaged and often needs full replacement after a few years. Tablemaker’s use of full length staves in oak, ash or beech enhances the structure of each piece and gives a smoother, more uniform look that suits high-visibility spaces.
Commercial build options that make installation easier
Tablemaker offers cable routing, radius corners, underside bracing and factory fitted inserts on request. These small details help save time during fit outs and reduce the need for site adjustments. Pre-drilled mount points and modesty panels are also available for desks and bench seating.
In hospitality environments, commercial tables may include protective edges or hardwax oil finishes that are water and stain resistant. These finishes are easy to refresh on site, which is ideal for busy cafés or restaurants.
How does Tablemaker support professionals in the design trade?
If you’re a designer, architect or contractor, you’ll have access to a trade account support service that includes pricing based on quantity, account contact and technical assistance. Projects are quoted clearly and lead times are reliable, which helps you manage timelines and client expectations.
Access CAD and 3D files for project planning
For design presentations or specification documents, CAD blocks and visual assets are available for most products. These can be used in layout software or visual renderings, helping you communicate your plans more effectively.
Order samples or match existing finishes
Wood swatches are available for all finishes. If you’re working with existing joinery or a specific palette, the team can recommend the closest match. Clear, pigmented and food safe oil finishes are all available, with options that suit both indoor and outdoor use.
Most trade projects rely on colour accuracy and texture consistency across multiple pieces. Tablemaker controls this through batch production and in-house finishing, reducing colour mismatch and variation.
Pro Tip: When planning a fit out, always request CAD files early. Tablemaker can supply them to help avoid last-minute layout conflicts and streamline approvals.
Pro Tip: If your design brief includes a colour scheme or specific finish, order wood samples in advance. This saves time during client sign-off and ensures your visuals match the final product.
Built to order in the UK with reliable delivery times
Because everything is made locally, Tablemaker can offer predictable lead times even for custom sizes. Most hospitality furniture orders are ready within two to three weeks. Furniture is built in a London workshop where production, packaging and dispatch are managed under one roof.
This allows quick scaling for bulk orders and better coordination for phased delivery. Packaging is kept minimal but protective, reducing material waste during shipping.
Delivery options for single site or multi location orders
If your order needs to be split across multiple locations or installed on a phased timeline, the team will plan delivery accordingly. White glove delivery and scheduled installation slots are available for larger jobs. These services are coordinated through your trade contact.
Volume orders, own label supply and wholesale options
For businesses that require large runs of tables or those offering furniture under their own brand, Tablemaker provides consistent production and packaging solutions. Wholesale and trade orders benefit from fixed unit pricing, volume-based discounts and agreed timelines.
Can Tablemaker manufacture white label products?
Yes. If you sell under your own brand or need customised sizing, the workshop team will work from your specification. Consistency in finish, size and packaging is maintained across all batches. This is ideal for ecommerce retailers and interior suppliers.
White label production also includes optional branded packaging or neutral labelling, depending on your requirements. This makes Tablemaker a reliable supply partner for resellers.
What steps does Tablemaker take to reduce waste and lower impact?
Tablemaker uses wood efficiently by turning offcuts into small items such as risers or accessories. All timber is FSC certified and finishes are low in VOCs. By keeping all production in house and sourcing materials locally, delivery miles and freight emissions are reduced.
Clients who are pursuing BREEAM or LEED certifications for sustainable building projects often specify FSC certified products and low-VOC finishes. Tablemaker supports these requirements by providing documented material specifications upon request.
Why does solid wood furniture offer better value for trade clients?
Long lasting furniture avoids early replacement. When a piece can be refinished instead of replaced, it lowers lifetime cost. This also helps businesses meet sustainability goals. Solid oak or beech also looks better over time, giving commercial interiors a more natural, high quality feel.
