Here's a work table that is similar to the commercial ones found in finer restaurants. From John Boos & Company, their Cucina Tavalo work table features a food service-grade stainless steel with a 16-gauge top that has a 6-in. riser that acts as a backsplash. It has an adjustable shelf underneath for storing of extra bowls or small appliances needed for prep work. The work table has a trademarked, "stallion" safety edge and stands 36-in. high.
About John Boos:
Built from select northern hard rock maple, John Boos butcher blocks, work tables and cookware racks will last for generations. They're made to professional standards by John Boos & Company, supplier to butchers and restaurants. You'll even find John Boos products in the White House kitchen. The end-grain work surfaces are easy on knives and are made to resist nicks and gouges, preventing bacteria from penetrating the wood.
