FAQs for Siesta Ares Table
Q: What is the Siesta Ares Table made from, and is it suitable for commercial use?
A: The Siesta Ares Table is made from injection-moulded polypropylene reinforced with glass fibre, giving it exceptional strength for cafés, offices, education spaces and shaded alfresco areas. As a non-metallic design, it won’t rust, decay or unravel, making it reliably durable for daily commercial use. Its European-made quality and CATAS certification further ensure long-term performance.
Q: Can I use the Ares Table outdoors, and will it fade in the sun?
A: The Ares Table is semi-UV-stable and ideal for shaded outdoor areas such as verandas, pergolas and covered dining zones. However, direct Australian sunlight may cause excessive fading over time. For this reason, the warranty does not cover sun damage, and it’s recommended to avoid placing the table in fully exposed outdoor areas.
Q: What sizes does the Siesta Ares Table come in, and which one should I choose?
A: The Ares Table is available in two commercial sizes:
• Ares Table 80 (800 × 800mm) – perfect for cafés, compact spaces, and two–four person seating.
• Ares Table 140 (1400 × 800mm) – ideal for larger dining areas, staff lunchrooms or family-style seating.
Both sizes offer a 750mm dining height and excellent stability for everyday use.
Q: What is the weight capacity and stability like on the Ares Table?
A: Thanks to its glass-fibre reinforced legs and air-moulded precision, the Ares Table offers strong weight support suitable for commercial environments. While an official SWL isn’t specified, its reinforced frame and 14–23kg unit weight provide excellent stability for dining, work and education applications.
Q: How weather-resistant is the table, and can it handle moisture or coastal environments?
A: The Ares Table’s resin construction will not rust, decay or absorb moisture, making it far more reliable than timber or metal alternatives in humid or spill-prone environments. It’s suitable for covered coastal areas, though sun-exposed positions should still be avoided to maintain colour integrity.
Q: Does the Ares Table require assembly, and how easy is it to put together?
A: Yes, the Ares Table is supplied unassembled, but it’s designed for quick installation. The legs attach securely to the tabletop using the included fasteners, with no specialised tools required. Most users can assemble it in under 10 minutes, making it ideal for fit-outs with multiple tables.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the Ares Table?
A: Maintenance is incredibly simple—just wipe with mild detergent or hose down for a fast clean. The non-porous resin surface resists stains, mould and moisture absorption, reducing long-term upkeep. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the smooth, modern finish.
Q: Is the Ares Table certified or environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, the table is CATAS tested for commercial durability and manufactured in facilities accredited to ISO 14001 and ISO 14064-1:2018, ensuring reduced environmental impact. The polypropylene material is fully recyclable at end of life, making it a sustainable, low-waste choice.
Q: What warranty does the Siesta Ares Table come with?
A: The Ares Table is backed by a 5-year commercial warranty, giving businesses confidence in its long-term durability. The warranty covers structural integrity but excludes fading caused by direct sunlight, reinforcing the recommendation for shaded outdoor or indoor use.
Q: What colour options are available, and do they suit modern fit-outs?
A: The Ares Table is offered in five contemporary colourways—Anthracite, Black, Chocolate, Taupe and White. These modern, neutral tones make it easy to match with Siesta chairs or existing décor, ensuring aesthetic consistency across cafés, offices, education spaces and residential alfresco settings.
