What is the Difference Between “The Rustic Harvest Table Tops” and “The Heritage Farmhouse Table Tops”?
The difference between “The Rustic Harvest Table Top” and “The Heritage Farmhouse Table Top” is in the design. Both are made from the same material and have the same finish but The Rustic Harvest tops will have a mix of widths, whereas The Heritage Farmhouse Tops have 5” wide planks for a more uniform look along with a decorative reclaimed wood edge banding. Both are design for indoor use only.
Are the Tables Completely Smooth? Can They Be Used to Write On?
Our tables are coated with a water-based urethane matte finish, making them smooth to the touch. However, each table is going to have a slight texture variation due to the nature of reclaimed wood, making each one slightly different. This is part of the beauty of reclaimed wood. However, because of this, we suggest using a writing pad instead of writing directly on the surface.
How Do I Maintain My Reclaimed Wood Restaurant Tables?
Our reclaimed wood table tops are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but proper care will help keep them looking beautiful for years. Here are a few simple maintenance tips:
-
Use coasters and placemats: Prevent water rings, stains, and scratches by placing coasters under drinks and placemats under plates.
-
Protect from heat: Avoid putting hot pans, plates, or serving dishes directly on the wood. Always use trivets or heat-resistant pads to prevent burn marks.
-
Clean gently: Wipe down surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the natural finish.
Key points:
-
Durable reclaimed wood construction
-
Prevent stains with coasters and placemats
-
Protect surfaces from heat damage
-
Simple cleaning keeps tables looking like new
Clean your tops with warm water and a mild detergent, such as Dawn(™) and wipe off with a dry cloth immediately. Stay away from chemical cleaners, including sanitizers, as they can eat through the finish leaving it sticky or flaky.
How is Reclaimed Wood Sourced for Restaurant Tables and Other Products?
Reclaimed wood is lumber that has been salvaged from old buildings, barns, and other structures, giving perfectly good wood a second life. Unlike newly harvested wood, reclaimed wood often comes from old-growth forests, which makes it denser, stronger, and more durable than wood sourced from newer growth.
In addition to its strength, reclaimed wood has a unique patina and character that new wood simply can’t replicate. Its natural weathering, rich tones, and distinct grain patterns make it a popular choice for restaurant tables, furniture, and interior design projects where sustainability meets beauty.
Key benefits of reclaimed wood:
-
Durability: Old-growth wood is stronger and more resilient
-
Sustainability: Reduces waste and gives wood a second life
-
Beauty: Unique patina, color variation, and character
-
Quality: Denser, higher-grade lumber than many modern cuts

What Restaurant Styles are Reclaim Wood Tables Best For?
Reclaimed wood tables can be a unique addition to a wide variety of restaurant settings. However, if you’re going for a rustic look for your restaurant, reclaimed table tops are perfect for you. They’ll also look great in more modern, hip settings as well, and can bring a rustic-chic look to many different spaces.

What is Reclaimed Wood?
Reclaimed wood is lumber that has been salvaged and repurposed for a new life in products such as reclaimed wood restaurant tables, chairs, wall décor, and other furniture. Before being crafted into new items, the wood is carefully processed to ensure quality and safety:
-
Nail removal: Any hardware or fasteners are taken out.
-
Pest treatment: Industrial microwaves eliminate insects or larvae.
-
Kiln-drying: Wood is dried to an even moisture content for stability.
-
Milling: Boards are cut and shaped to uniform sizes for use in new products.
These steps make reclaimed wood safe, durable, and ideal for use in homes and commercial spaces like restaurants.
Beyond its beauty and strength, reclaimed wood is also an eco-friendly choice. Repurposing old wood keeps salvageable material out of landfills—where wood accounts for nearly 20–30% of construction and demolition waste—helping reduce environmental impact while giving each piece a unique story.
Key benefits of reclaimed wood:
-
Perfect for sustainable restaurant furniture and home décor
-
Strong, stable, and long-lasting
-
Unique character and patina from its history
-
Helps reduce landfill waste and supports eco-friendly practices
