When looking at contract tables you’re often faced with two options… Complete table units and table bases. Most commercial designers opt for table bases with a separate table base as this allows for more control over the design and finish so that everything ties into their design. Here we look at table bases in more depth, the options available and how they can be used to create stunning spaces.
Table bases can accommodate various size tops to seat 2, 4, 6 and more people dependant on your venues needs and can be mixed for different seating options.

Materials
Table bases are available in a number of different materials, like metal table bases or timber table bases, each with their own finishing options, offering you a huge scope of choice when it comes to design. When paired with your choice of table top, you can create something that fits seamlessly with your design. Some of the materials and the finished available are listed below:
Indoor / Outdoor
Table bases are designed for indoor or outdoor use depending on what material and finish is used… it’s always worth checking what area a product is suitable for at the time of specification to ensure there are no issues when in use. This information can be found on our website or can be discussed with a member of the team
Materials that tend to be suitable for outdoor use are the likes of aluminium, teak and treated steel.

Table Tops & Fixings
All table bases come with some way to fix the table top securely. These are often a spider fixing plate, but can sometime be a square or circular fixing plate. These have holes for the required screws to fix the table tops.
When specifying a table top and base, it is important to consider how the base will be fixed to the table, if a stone or marble top are used, MDF plinths are often fixed to the marble to make it easier to attach the base, wooden tops normally include batons to prevent warping so consideration for the size of the fixing plate/spider is required.
All bases have a recommended weight limit and max table top size, which can be found in the product specs in our website or you can contact us to discuss.
