We had this acrylic custom made for us (we had to make a lot!) We found that the textured black finish of the stem and base for both the table and lectern is the most appealing and also the most durable.
If purchasing this lectern and table set, you will get free covers (normally $40 each). You put these on the lectern and table tops when you are not using them. These help to prolong their life. We discovered that most damage to the tops occurs after hours- when the preacher is not using it.
We use textured black powder coat paint from Interpon. Unlike most other paint processes, powder coating is relatively good for the environment, and much safer for workers to apply. The paint is baked on to make it tough. The texture not only looks good (think matt painted cars), but it is more durable than a flat paint finish. We know that in a busy church, the lectern might get knocks and scratches. The textured powder coat paint will stand up to this better than most other finishes.
It would be cheaper for us to use steel and then paint it- after all you cant see it after it has been painted. The problem with paint on steel is that often eventually it starts to bubble or flake. So we don’t use steel. We use stainless steel and aluminium- these materials don't flake or blister- so the painted finish will last for many years. In the unlikely event it is damaged, small scratches can be touched up with a black marker pen.
