Shelf placement and height adjustment in the central table
An easy-assembly central table with shelf — the shelf placement in a central table differs from that of a wall table shelf, as it is accessible from both of the table’s longer sides. Shelf height — the shelf is usually mounted approximately 250–350 mm from the floor. The optimal height depends on the type of inventory stored. Some models allow the shelf height to be adjusted. Shelf width — the shelf on a central table is the same width as the table, meaning that wider tables (700 mm) provide more storage space. See easy-assembly stainless steel furniture. Load capacity — a stainless steel shelf supports 50–100 kg. This is sufficient for most restaurant inventory. BHS supplies central tables with shelves.
