Restaurant Table Bases Compatible with Your Tabletops
Shopping for restaurant table bases requires careful attention to at least three key points:
- First, you need to find a base strong enough to carry the weight of the top.
- Second, you must match the base and top sizes for stability. A mismatch can cause an uncomfortable dining experience for guests.
- Finally, color and design harmony can affect your restaurant's vibe. A wooden tabletop on a steel base can create a unique décor.
Namely, you must correctly combine the height, shape, and base-top match.
- Height: Below are the typical restaurant table base heights. However, remember that you also have bases with adjustable heights.
- Restaurant dining table : 28" - 30"
- Counter-height : 34" - 36"
- Bar height : 40" - 42"
- Shape: The shape of your restaurant table base is crucial for stability. Heavier tabletops may require unique base shapes to keep the balance well.
- Round table bases are usually heavier, perfect for granite or solid wood tops.
- Square and rectangular bases must go with the same tabletop shapes. The wide base plate can provide greater balance.
- Cross or X-prong bases are more versatile as they can be paired with all tabletop shapes.
- T-shape or 2-prong bases supply stronger support for longer rectangular tops by placing one under either end.
- Trestle table bases consist of two or three trestle stands. They give seaters more legroom and prevent wobbling.
- Bolt-down bases maximize stability by securing the base to the floor.
- Cantilever bases are wall-mount pedestals for rectangular tops.
- Size Match: The following information may help you find the ideal restaurant table base that matches your tabletop size.
