The first thing guests see
At a fine dining restaurant, the host stand sets the tone before a single plate leaves the kitchen. Ella's dining room mixes warm wood, linen and vintage details, so the stand needed to feel like a piece of furniture, not a podium. We built it to sit comfortably beside the bar and the antique-style pieces already in the room.
Turned legs and a white oak top
The base is paint grade with tall, turned legs and a painted apron, giving it a classic, collected look. The top is solid white oak with a low gallery rail on three sides, shaped at the ends, to keep reservation books, tablets and menus in place. An open cubby below keeps menus within reach and out of sight.
