formica table
Plastic-topped dining surface
A formica table has a surface made of Formica, a brand of laminated plastic that became ubiquitous in mid-20th-century kitchens and diners.
The material resists heat and stains, cleans easily, and comes in countless colors and patterns.
The diner's formica tables were wiped down between customers.
The term evokes retro Americana—chrome legs, vinyl booths, coffee refills.
