The 30" x 30" sound-deadened top shelf is made from 16-gauge, type 430 stainless steel and supports approximately 325 lb. of evenly distributed weight. It features an easy-to-clean rolled front, and the sides of the table are squared off for flush placement against walls or other tables. To support the weight on top and maintain a level work surface, this work table is engineered with two reinforcing hat channels. Additionally, this table has a 5" backsplash to protect your walls from water, grease, and food debris.
