Front of House - Dining room
There are an infinite number of ways to set a table, ranging from the most formal to the most casual. However, in every case, standard rules apply. Clean, high-quality linens, tablecloths and tabletop pieces can make a real difference in presentation, when used as the foundation of settings that include all the essentials of a pleasant and relaxing dining experience.
TABLE LIGHTING OPTIONS
Whether you’re outfitting a fine restaurant or casual eatery, neighborhood bar or nightclub, attractive lamps help enhance your décor, reflect your personality, enrich your cuisine – and most importantly, make your guests feel warm and welcome. Effective table lighting is an affordable way to turn a delicious meal into a memorable experience. Choose from a multitude of styles, colors and designs – and create whatever ambience your heart desires.
TABLE LAMPS
Lamp bases, globes and shades are not dishwasher-safe. Instead, wipe with a clean damp cloth. If necessary, wash with mild soap and water. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spotting. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleansers or metal polishing agents when cleaning. Fabric shades have been treated with a flame retardant for your safety. Each shade has also been treated with a stain-repelling agent; however, they are not “stain-proof.” When cleaning, wipe with a clean, damp cloth only. When attempting to remove spills, blot the area until the spill is removed.
