Table Porto Melamine 19 mm Worktop

A melamine worktop provides a smooth, non-porous surface that resists moisture, stains and scratches, making it a practical choice for professional kitchens where hygiene and durability are essential. The material is a dense particleboard core sealed with a melamine resin laminate, which creates a hard, easy-to-clean finish that withstands daily use without absorbing liquids or harbouring bacteria.

The Table Porto stands at a fixed 720 mm height, matching standard worktop levels in catering environments. This height allows staff to work comfortably while standing, whether chopping, plating or assembling dishes. The table's square footprint—available in 60 cm, 70 cm or 80 cm widths—lets it fit into tight kitchen layouts or serve as a standalone station in larger areas. Its compact design means it can be positioned against a wall, between other equipment or in the centre of a prep zone without obstructing movement.

To use the table, position it on a level floor and ensure it is stable before loading. The melamine surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service, removing food residue and spills without damaging the finish. For deeper cleaning, a non-abrasive cleaner maintains the surface's integrity over time. The table requires no assembly beyond placing it in its intended location, and its solid construction means it does not shift or wobble during use.

The 19 mm thickness of the melamine top provides rigidity, preventing sagging or flexing under the weight of heavy equipment like mixers, slicers or bain-maries. This thickness also contributes to the table's overall stability, allowing it to support bulk ingredients, stacked trays or small appliances without compromising its structure. The edges are sealed to prevent moisture ingress, which could otherwise cause swelling or delamination.

Available in three sizes—60x60 cm, 70x70 cm and 80x80 cm—the Table Porto adapts to different kitchen requirements. A smaller 60 cm table suits narrow prep areas or satellite stations, while the 80 cm version offers more workspace for larger operations. Each size maintains the same 720 mm height and 19 mm melamine construction, ensuring consistency across the range.

The table is classified as a portable worktop, meaning it can be moved as kitchen layouts change or stored when not in use. Its lightweight construction relative to stainless steel alternatives makes it easier to reposition without specialised equipment, though care should be taken to lift rather than drag it to avoid damaging the melamine surface or legs.
