Question 1

Is this table suitable for daily use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both the top and base are finished with a restaurant-grade sealer built for all-day, everyday use. The steel base is engineered to industrial tolerances, a grade above both commercial and residential furniture. These aren’t display pieces — they’re built for the factory floor, refined for the room.

Question 2

What wood species are available?

Accepted Answer

Standard species are walnut, oak, mahogany, and cherry. All tops are solid, premium, sustainably sourced hardwood, hand-selected for figure and grain. Other species are available on request and finalized during your commission conversation.

Question 3

What steel finish options are available?

Accepted Answer

Natural patina is shown as standard. Black patina and painted finishes are available and finalized during the commission process.

Question 4

Can I specify the table size?

Accepted Answer

Yes — length, width, and height are all adjustable to your room and seating requirements. Dimensions are finalized during your commission conversation.

Question 5

Are crank-height (adjustable height) options available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several models are available with a hand-crank mechanism for sit-to-stand height adjustment. If the model you’re considering doesn’t show a crank, ask during your commission — it may be adaptable.

Question 6

Can I add grommets, data ports, or power access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cable grommets, data ports, and power access points can be built directly into the top. We’re also happy to work with your AV or IT team during the commission process to make sure everything is spec’d correctly before we build.

Question 7

What edge profiles are available for the top?

Accepted Answer

Live edge, straight, beveled, and other profiles are available depending on the model. Edge style is selected during your commission conversation.

Question 8

How does the table ship, and what do I need on-site for delivery?

Accepted Answer

Tables up to approximately 14 feet ship fully assembled. Larger tables ship with the base and top separated for safe transport and are assembled on-site by the delivery team. Large crates typically require a loading dock or forklift for offloading — if neither is available, let us know during your commission and we’ll work out the right solution.

Question 9

What is the lead time?

Accepted Answer

Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit, depending on configuration. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the start of your commission.

Question 10

How is it delivered?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is freight curbside. White glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available; delivery method is confirmed during your commission conversation.

Question 11

I’ve seen something that looks exactly like this on another site. Is it the same piece?

Accepted Answer

No. Vintage Industrial designs have been copied extensively since 2009, primarily by Asian manufacturers selling through direct-from-China storefronts. The pieces look similar in photos but weigh a quarter of what ours do — they’re not designed to last, they’re designed to sell at a cheap price. Vintage Industrial sells direct only, through retro.net. We have no other sales channels, no third-party retailers, no Amazon storefront. If you’re seeing something like this anywhere else, it’s a counterfeit. Every Vintage Industrial piece is built to order in our Chicago shop by hand, from hot-rolled steel and solid hardwood, with a 12+ week lead time.
