Nardi Step & Spritz Table Range

Nardi Step & Spritz Table Range - FAQs

1. What is the difference between the Nardi Spritz and Step tables?

   The Spritz has a smooth 60.5cm resin top, while the Step has the same 60.5cm diameter but with a distinctive perforated top that sheds rainwater through the pattern and gives a more textured, contemporary look. Both share the same single splayed pedestal base and bistro height of 76.5cm. The Spritz is offered in eleven colours, including Red, Salice, Corallo, Senape, Menta and Corda, while the Step comes in five, Agave, Anthracite, Celeste Blue, Tortora and White. Choosing between them usually comes down to whether a plain or perforated top look is preferred, since the size and base are identical.

2. What size is the Nardi Spritz and Step table?

   Both the Spritz and Step have a 60.5cm diameter round top and stand 76.5cm high, which is standard bistro height, matched to Nardi's bistrot dining chairs rather than bar height stools. The compact round footprint suits balconies, courtyards and tight corners where a rectangular four leg table of the same footprint would not fit as easily. Both are moulded in one piece as tabletop and pedestal, with the only assembly step being fitting the base to the top. This single mould construction keeps the tables lightweight and quick to set up compared with a table built from separate parts.

3. What are the Nardi Spritz and Step tables made from?

   Both are moulded from weatherproof fibreglass reinforced resin in one piece, including the single splayed pedestal base, rather than assembled from a separate top, legs and fixings. This construction is designed to withstand sun and rain permanently outdoors with no cover needed, resisting fading and staining across repeated seasons. The resin build is the same UV stabilised material used across Nardi's wider outdoor range, so the Spritz and Step carry the same durability standard as the brand's chairs and bar stools. An occasional wipe down is the only maintenance either tabletop or base requires to stay in good condition.

4. How many people does a Nardi Spritz or Step table seat?

   At 60.5cm across and bistro height, both the Spritz and Step comfortably seat two people, which suits a cafe frontage, a small courtyard setting or a balcony rather than a full dining group. The round shape and single pedestal base mean two chairs can be pulled close on either side without table legs getting in the way. For a venue needing to seat more than two at one table, a larger Nardi dining table would suit better, but for compact two person settings the Spritz and Step give a coordinated look across multiple tables in the same footprint and finish.

5. Why does the Nardi Step table have a perforated top?

   The perforated pattern on the Step lets rainwater drain straight through the tabletop rather than pooling on the surface, which keeps the table usable and dry faster after rain than a solid top design like the Spritz. This makes the Step a practical choice for an exposed courtyard or balcony without cover, where standing water on a flat resin top would otherwise need wiping away before guests could sit down. The perforation is moulded into the resin as part of the single piece top, so it adds no extra maintenance or cleaning steps beyond the usual occasional wipe down.

6. Is the single pedestal base an advantage for seating?

   Yes. A single central pedestal, rather than four legs, keeps knees and chair legs clear underneath, which makes the table more comfortable to sit at and easier to fit chairs around in a tight layout. This matters most in a compact cafe frontage or courtyard corner, where four splayed legs could otherwise catch on nearby chairs or force awkward seating angles. Both the Spritz and Step use the same splayed pedestal base design, so this seating advantage applies equally to either top choice, leaving colour and top texture as the only real differences between the two models.

7. Are the Nardi Spritz and Step tables easy to move?

   Yes. Both the Spritz and Step weigh 4.5kg, light enough for one person to reposition without help, which matters for a cafe rearranging its frontage through the day or bringing tables in at close. Being a single piece resin moulding rather than a table with a separate top and legs, there are no loose parts to carry or reassemble when moving them, just the one piece to lift and place. This also makes cleaning underneath and around the base straightforward, since staff can tilt or shift the whole table in one motion rather than working around a jointed frame.

8. How many colours does the Nardi Spritz table come in compared to the Step?

   The Spritz is available in eleven finishes, including Red, Salice, Corallo, Senape, Menta and Corda alongside the shared Agave, Anthracite, Celeste Blue, Tortora and White options. The Step is offered in five colours only, Agave, Anthracite, Celeste Blue, Tortora and White, the same neutral finishes shared with the Spritz but without its wider accent palette. A venue wanting a colour statement piece would choose the Spritz, while one matching a more restrained neutral scheme across multiple tables has the same five options in either model.

9. Does the Nardi Spritz or Step table need any assembly?

   No. Both are moulded in a single piece as their tabletop and pedestal base, with the only step at setup being attaching the base to the top, rather than assembling multiple parts, brackets or fixings. This single mould construction is the same weatherproof fibreglass reinforced resin used across both models, so there is nothing to bolt together beyond that one connection, which suits a venue wanting to set up or reposition tables quickly during service rather than treating them as fixed furniture.

10. What table shape and size suits a tight courtyard corner best?

    The round profile of both the Spritz and Step, at 60.5cm diameter, fits into a tight courtyard corner or bistro style cafe layout better than a rectangular table of the same footprint, since there are no square corners projecting into a walkway. At bistro height, 76.5cm, both pair with standard dining chairs and Nardi bistrot seating. Venues with narrow frontages or balconies where every centimetre of clearance matters benefit from the round shape more than the colour or top pattern chosen.

11. Can I match Nardi chairs or bar stools to the Spritz or Step table?

    Yes. Both the Spritz and the Step sit at standard bistro height, 76.5cm, which pairs with Nardi bistrot dining chairs from ranges such as Trill, rather than bar height stools. Matching the finish, for example choosing a chair colour that complements the table's Agave, Anthracite, Celeste Blue, Tortora or White options, gives a coordinated cafe setting. Because the tables are single pedestal designs, chairs can be pushed fully under the table on all sides, which is not always possible with a four leg table base.

12. Is the Nardi Spritz or Step table suitable for commercial hospitality use?

    Yes. Both are moulded from weatherproof fibreglass reinforced resin designed to withstand permanent outdoor exposure to sun and rain, which is the same build standard used across Nardi's commercial resin range. At 4.5kg each is light enough for staff to reposition through service without special handling, and the single pedestal base keeps the area under the table clear for chair legs, which matters in a busy cafe frontage where tables are moved and reset throughout the day. Neither model needs oiling, sealing or a cover to stay outdoors permanently.
