Historic Bar Tables: The World’s Longest Bar Table
November 19, 2007
Seven years ago this past September, the merry folk of Bad Staffelstein sat down at the world’s longest bar table. How long are we talking? 2.2km, with 4.4km of seating space! Now that’s the kind of table I wish we had at our family reunions. Only, passing the salt would be a serious undertaking.
At 7:15pm that evening, Mayor Georg Müller announced at the town square, “We’ve made it!” Amazingly, by the time the results were made official, nearly 7,500 people were seated at the table. (7,484, to be exact.) That’s a lot of good cheer to go around!
Maybe (hopefully!) you don’t need quite so epic a table for your business. Still, there are plenty of commercial bar tables to choose from, if you need to expand a bit. And don’t assume that commercial bar tables are just for businesses; homes with lots of traffic could benefit from these sturdy, resilient tables, too. Commercial grade tables can withstand things that residential grade tables can’t.
This holiday season, you might want to gift yourself with a new table for your home or business. Or maybe you’ve got a dear old mum who always does the entertaining on the holidays, but who never really buys anything for herself. Residential grade tables are nice if you want something pretty and functional, but take away a lesson from the people of Bad Staffelstein: if you’re entertaining lots of people, you’ll want a great table. Commercial grade might be the way to go if you have lots of guests and want your table to last for many years to come.
But if 7,500 of your friends decide to stop in for dinner, my first recommendation is to make a run for it! Unless it’s a potluck dinner. In that case, I recommend elastic waist pants.
