Wooden Dining Tables for Your Cafe: The BV Budget
December 30, 2007
Before the winter holidays, I adhered to a gift buying budget. However, I didn’t adhere very well, so now I’m on a tighter budget still. I’m sure a lot of you know how that feels.
But budgets don’t have to be bad things. For example, the BV Budget table is simple and charming. It’s a good choice for restaurant owners who want to replace their cafe dining chairs, but who don’t want to blow their… budget. (I’m going to stop the puns right here, because they could just go on forever, and trust me - neither of us wants that.)
The BV Budget is a plain little wooden table with clean lines that could fit in nicely with any surroundings. The table’s base is made from beechwood. The BV Budget comes in the following sizes: 70×70cm, 80×80cm, 90×90cm, 120×80cm, 140×80cm, 160×80cm. It can also be ordered in diameters of 80, 100, or 120cm. It is 73cm tall.

I’m so excited, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the four cups of coffee I’ve had! (Well, that’s mostly true.) I have a deep and abiding fascination with furniture that rides the line of tastefulness, like leopard print chairs shaped like stiletto-heeled shoes. Because of this, I’ve been on the lookout for a sofa shaped like a pair of lips – and Salvador Dali didn’t let me down.
I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of small spaces. When I traveled to New England, I had a bit of culture shock when I saw that everything was built rather vertically; I prefer the sprawling styles of Texas and the southwest United States. But since it could be argued that sprawling villas take up more than their fair share of space, I also recognize the practicality of maximizing smaller rooms when floor space is at a premium.
Your lobby or reception area is often the first impression visitors have of your business. You definitely want that impression to be a good one. The importance of customer service and quality goods cannot be overstated, but if the surroundings make guests uncomfortable, they won’t look forward to returning. You want your business to seem like a home away from home, a place of warmth and welcome.
Probably not. In fact, if you polish certain materials, you can do more harm than good. For example, if you polish a piece that you think is made of brass, you can remove the finish and damage the surface if it turns out to be plated bronze or another finished metal. If you’re sure of yourself and still want to polish the hardware, remove it from the piece before you begin. Keep careful track of the small nails and nuts you remove, because you won’t want to find one rather abruptly when you walk across the room in bare feet.
Christmas is sneaking up fast. It’s funny how we have so many visual reminders – lights, trees, snowmen, commercials on television – and yet we still put off our shopping until the last minute. Have we not learned our lesson yet?
Tables look like many things. I’ve seen tables that look like flowers, tables that look like dismembered legs (in tasteful brass), and tables that look like Jenga games gone wild. The Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune Brasilia Table looks like a little wooden wedge that would set off any clean, wooden décor. It’s a cute little table. I just want to stick a paper sail on top and sail it off down a river somewhere, although I’m almost certain that’s not a recommended use for this table.
When we talk about furniture, we often discuss how it looks, how it feels, and how sturdy it is. But, though many people politely ignore it, there’s an issue that needs to be talked about: smelly furniture. Yes, how your furniture smells can affect how guests perceive your home or business. Nobody wants to sit on a couch that reeks of cigarette smoke and mildew, lest the odors creep into their clothing. If your furniture is a bit on the pungent side, try these quick tips for getting the smell out.
Children are amazing little critters. Their contortions and escapes would make Houdini jealous. I remember when my daughter was very small; there were no high chairs that could hold her! Luckily, she was very agile for a baby, and so never got herself seriously injured. But really, if they’d had a reality show for baby escape artists, we’d be millionaires by now.
