Break rooms provide a space for employees to have their daily meals and interact with each other. It is important for you to provide your employees with quality canteen furniture so that they can have comfortable breaks and be refreshed to continue their working day. At AJ Products, we provide many different types of furniture for canteens and break rooms, including bar stools, chairs, tables, trolleys and others. Read the following points to learn about these products:
Our canteen chairs can be used in different dining areas such as schools, colleges, offices, etc. These chairs are available with a seat height from 260 to 495 mm to suit children and adults alike. You can choose from a wide range of colours to suit your workspace interiors from neutral hues such as birch, beech, grey and black to bright shades like blue, orange and green. Most of our chairs are stackable, which makes cleaning easier and ensures chairs take up minimal space when stored. Many of our chairs also have a waterfall front edge to their seats for added comfort. For a more affordable option choose our plastic chairs. These chairs are easy to clean, durable and can withstand tough conditions. You can purchase both cushioned and un-cushioned chairs in various materials. We also provide chair trolleys for easy transportation of chairs in workspaces. Contact us if you have any questions.
We aim to provide tables for break rooms that are functional and suit your requirements, all at the right price. Our canteen tables are available between 460 and 810mm in height, 700 and 1730 mm in width and from 600 to 2000 mm in length. We provide tables that are round, rectangular and oval-shaped. Depending on the space available, you can choose the most suitable one for you. As most of our tables are made from laminate or veneer wood, they do not require much maintenance. If you want more than just one table in your break room, our round tables with a pedestal base are an ideal choice. These tables are suitable for a group of 3-4 people each and promote interaction between those seated around them. We also provide folding canteen tables so that you can use them only when required then fold and store them aside when not in use. Along with a wide variety of colours for table surfaces, we provide different colours stands as well such as grey lacquer, chrome, etc. Read the individual product specifications for more details about our tables.
Our trolleys are available in a range of sizes and come with 2-4 shelves. They are made from stainless steel, which is exceptionally durable. The handle on the trolley and castors make them easy to move around. We provide trolleys that are easy to clean and can be used in a variety of environments.

Selecting the right furniture size depends on your available space and the number of employees or students using the break room. At AJ Products, we provide a range of dimensions to suit different environments.
For chairs, we offer seat heights from 260mm to 495mm, accommodating both children and adults. If you're furnishing a school or mixed-age facility, our range ensures comfort across age groups.
For tables, our options span:
Heights: 460–810mm (standard dining and high-top bar heights)
Widths: 700–1,730mm
Lengths: 600–2,000mm
To determine the right size:
Measure your space – Calculate the area available after accounting for walkways and service corridors (typically 1–1.5 metres)
Consider table shape – Round tables (ideal for 3–4 people) take up less floor space than rectangular tables but suit smaller groups. Rectangular tables maximise seating capacity in longer rooms.
Plan for movement – Ensure adequate clearance around furniture for safe movement and cleaning access
Think ahead – If you plan to expand your break room or add extra seating, consider folding tables that can be stored when not in use
High-traffic break rooms demand chairs that withstand daily use, resist damage, and simplify cleaning. AJ Products offers several options designed for busy workplace and educational environments.
For maximum durability and ease of maintenance, choose plastic chairs:
Exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture
Easy to wipe down – no fabric to absorb spills or odours
Can withstand tough conditions including accidental knocks and heavy use
Lightweight, making them suitable for frequent rearrangement
Available in a variety of colours to match your workspace
For comfort with practicality, select our cushioned or un-cushioned upholstered chairs:
Many feature a waterfall front edge for added comfort during longer breaks
Stackable designs save space during cleaning or when reorganising the break room
Available in materials that suit both durability and comfort needs
Colours range from neutral (birch, beech, grey, black) to vibrant (blue, orange, green)
Key features for high-traffic spaces:
Stackability – Our stackable chairs take up minimal storage space, freeing up your break room for dining and interaction
Durable construction – Reinforced frames withstand the demands of schools, colleges, and busy office environments
Easy maintenance – Materials that resist staining and require only basic cleaning
For transporting multiple chairs between rooms or floors, our chair trolleys enable safe, efficient movement without manual strain on staff.
Yes. At AJ Products, we prioritise low-maintenance materials and practical designs so your facilities team can keep the break room clean without specialist care or downtime.
For maximum flexibility in busy break rooms, consider folding tables:
Use them only during peak break times
Fold and store them away to create space for cleaning or events
Ideal for facilities that need flexible space management
Particularly valuable if your break room doubles as a meeting or event space
Maintenance tips:
Wipe surfaces daily after peak usage times
Use mild cleaning solutions suitable for laminate and veneer finishes
Allow tables to dry naturally before folding or repositioning
Check pedestals and castors regularly to ensure stability
Our tables are designed for busy environments across Irish schools, colleges, and offices. By choosing durable, easy-to-clean materials, you reduce maintenance costs and keep your break room hygienic and inviting
Transporting furniture safely and efficiently is essential in large offices, schools, and multi-floor buildings. AJ Products provides practical solutions to reduce physical strain on staff and protect your investment.
Why use trolleys in your workplace:
Reduce injuries – Minimize manual handling and repetitive strain on staff members
Save time – Transport multiple items in one trip rather than making several journeys
Protect furniture – Stackable chairs are designed to roll safely, reducing damage and extending lifespan
Maintain hygiene – Stainless steel catering trolleys meet hygiene standards for food service areas
Professional appearance – Organised, efficient operations reflect well on your workplace
For schools and colleges, trolleys simplify daily setup and breakdown of break room spaces. For offices, they make it easy to reconfigure seating for different meeting sizes or events. In catering facilities, they are essential for safe food and equipment movement.
The choice between round and rectangular tables depends on your space, the size of groups, and the atmosphere you want to create in your break room. At AJ Products, we offer both shapes to suit different workplace needs.
Round tables – Best for collaboration and smaller groups:
Space and seating:
Ideal for groups of 3–4 people
Eliminate corner "dead zones" where people feel excluded
Promote face-to-face conversation and interaction
Require less linear space than rectangular tables in smaller break rooms
Rectangular tables – Best for maximum seating and space efficiency:
Space and seating:
Accommodate larger groups or multiple smaller conversations
Maximize seating in longer, narrower break rooms
Flexible arrangement – push together for large gatherings or separate for smaller groups
Better for cafeteria-style setups in schools or larger offices
