WOOD PRODUCTS
All wood products are available in Grand Rapids Chair Company standard finishes. We will make every effort to match any special finish. Due to the natural product being used, color may vary slightly from one top to another. Every effort is made in the factory to consistently match each piece of wood; however, slight variations are to be expected due to the natural materials being used. Wood products are Hard Maple, Northern Red Oak and Michigan Ash, unless otherwise noted for veneered surfaces and wood edges. Other species are readily available by calling the factory. Natural wood products are naturally susceptible to damage from radical changes in heat and humidity; care must be taken to ensure that they are in a temperate environment. Wood edges are indicated in the price list; samples of wood edges are available. Custom wood edges are also available. Where radius corners are specified, our standard is 3" radius unless otherwise specified. Contact the factory for other options. A wide variety of different table shapes and sizes can be made using our precision computer-controlled machinery. Please call for a custom quote.
PLASTIC LAMINATE PRODUCTS
Our plastic laminate pricing is based on the Wilson Art " Standards" Pricing Collection. Other laminates are available at a possible upcharge; contact the factory. Standard face is .050" (countertop commercial grade) with a balancing phenolic resin backer for balanced construction. Samples of Wilson Art finishes are available by viewing the "Standards" color selector online. If you would like to see an actual sample of the specified laminate, we have made special arrangements with Wilson Art to send the sample material directly to you. You can order sample plastic laminate materials by contacting your Grand Rapids Chair customer service representative at 616.774.0561 . Our tables can be ordered/specified with certain high-performance grades for chemical-resistant surfaces, fire-rated surfaces, exceptional high-wear surfaces, and a multitude of custom-designed laminates. Contact the sales office for specifics. The inner core of all our plastic laminated and veneered tables are BIFMA-strength-approved, industrial-grade particleboard. All tops are predrilled for easy installation onto their accompanying bases. Tops are shipped separate from bases. Bases are shipped fully assembled or shipped K.D. with “Labor Saver” construction: see price list for specific series information. All bases are easy to assemble using a 5⁄16" nut driver and a wrench. A variety of edges are available for plastic laminated tops, including vinyl “T”-molded edges, aluminum edges, molded polyurethane edges, wood edges and upholstered edges. Where radius corners are specified, our standard is 3" radius unless otherwise specified. Contact the factory for other options. You can view edge details by viewing a specific tables' page.
