Hotel Chain Standardizes on AEONTI Stainless Steel Table Legs Across 35 Properties
Project Case | June 11, 2026
Project Overview
Project Detail Information
Client National hotel chain (3-4 star segment)
Project Scope 35 properties, all food and beverage outlets
Product 304 stainless steel table legs, brushed finish
Quantity 8,750 table legs (250 per property average)
Applications Guest restaurants, poolside dining, lobby bars, in-room dining tables
Timeline 6 months (phased delivery)
Background
A national hotel chain operating 35 properties across coastal and inland locations undertook a brand-wide furniture standardization initiative in 2025-2026. The goal: achieve consistent guest experience across all food and beverage outlets while reducing procurement complexity and inventory costs.
The chain’s procurement team issued a request for proposal to six commercial furniture manufacturers. AEONTI was selected based on:
Material certification for 304 stainless steel
Corrosion resistance data for coastal properties (salt air exposure)
Ability to deliver to 35 locations with varying schedules
Five-year warranty on structural integrity
The Challenge
Environmental Variability
The 35 properties included:
12 coastal hotels (high salt air, humidity)
8 poolside installations (chlorine exposure)
10 urban properties (standard indoor use)
5 mountain resorts (temperature variation)
The table legs needed to perform reliably across all environments without requiring property-specific variants that would complicate inventory management.
Aesthetic Consistency
The brand standard specified a specific brushed finish orientation and subtle radius on all exposed edges. Any variation would violate the brand’s design guidelines and could delay project acceptance.
Phased Delivery
Properties were scheduled for renovation in four phases over six months. AEONTI needed to coordinate production to deliver to each property exactly when their renovation reached the furniture installation stage.
AEONTI’s Solution
Material Selection
AEONTI specified 304 stainless steel (ASTM A554 grade) for all legs in the project, including those destined for indoor-only properties. This single-material approach simplified the chain’s inventory management while ensuring that legs could be redeployed between properties if needed.
Surface Finish Protocol
Specification Requirement AEONTI Method
Grain orientation Consistent linear Mechanical brushing with jig alignment
Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8μm Multi-stage abrasive process
Edge radius 2mm continuous Dedicated edge profiling tool
Weld finish Blended, no discoloration Post-weld chemical passivation
Corrosion Testing
For the coastal and poolside installations, AEONTI conducted additional salt spray testing per ASTM B117:
Test Duration Result
200 hours No corrosion, no discoloration
500 hours No corrosion, minor surface oxidation
1000 hours No structural degradation
All 304 stainless steel legs exceeded the hotel chain’s specified requirement of 500-hour salt spray resistance.
Phased Production and Delivery
Phase Properties Quantity Delivery Window Status
1 8 coastal properties 2,000 legs Month 1-2 Completed
2 10 urban properties 2,500 legs Month 2-3 Completed
3 10 inland properties 2,500 legs Month 3-5 Completed
4 7 mixed properties 1,750 legs Month 5-6 Completed
Quality Assurance
AEONTI implemented project-specific quality checks:
Raw material certificate review for each stainless steel batch
100% dimensional inspection (height, mounting plate alignment)
10% surface finish audit under standardized lighting
Weld penetration check on 5% of production
Final cleaning and protective film application before packaging
Results
Metric Result
On-time delivery rate 100% (all 35 properties)
Quality acceptance rate 99.5%
Field adjustment requests 3 (minor leveling issues)
Warranty claims after 12 months 0
Client Testimonial
“Standardizing on AEONTI’s stainless steel legs across our entire portfolio has simplified our procurement and maintenance. The brushed finish is exactly the same in our coastal Miami property as in our Chicago downtown hotel. We have extended the same specification to new builds going forward.”

Key Lessons
Single-specification sourcing — Using the same product across diverse environments reduces inventory complexity
Salt spray testing matters — ASTM B117 data provides objective comparison for coastal applications
Phased delivery requires coordination — Lock in delivery windows early with buffer for construction delays
Warranty alignment — Match warranty periods to client’s renovation cycle (typically 5-7 years for hotel FF&E)
AEONTI’s Hospitality Project Capabilities
304/316 stainless steel expertise
Salt spray testing documentation available
Phased delivery coordination
Five-year structural warranty standard
