Table bases

Commercial table bases are the unsung heroes of restaurant and hospitality settings across the UK. These sturdy foundations transform ordinary tabletops into reliable dining surfaces that withstand the daily punishment of busy service.

After 50 years equipping Britain's hospitality sector, we've seen how the right table base pairs perfectly with commercial chairs and tabletops to create inviting dining spaces that keep customers comfortable and coming back. Whether you're kitting out a bustling city café or a countryside hotel restaurant, quality table bases are an investment that pays dividends in durability!

Essential Buying Considerations

Size and Weight Capacity

  • Consider weight capacity—minimum 80kg for typical commercial use.
  • Check height requirements—standard 28" for dining, 42" for bar height.

Material and Placement

  • Choose cast iron for maximum stability in high-traffic areas.
  • Opt for stainless steel in humid environments like outdoor terraces.
  • Select foldable bases if you frequently reconfigure your dining spaces.

How Commercial Table Bases Work

Commercial table bases function through clever engineering that balances weight distribution and stability. The typical design features a heavy base plate (often cast iron) that anchors the unit to the floor, connected to a sturdy central column that supports your tabletop. Most quality bases include adjustable feet that compensate for uneven floors—essential for preventing wobbly tables that frustrate diners. The top plate attaches securely to your tabletop via pre-drilled holes, creating a rock-solid dining surface. Unlike domestic options, commercial table bases are designed with weight capacities that handle everything from enthusiastic elbows to plates piled high with Sunday roasts!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Table Bases

To maximise the lifespan of your table bases, regularly check and tighten all fasteners—especially in busy settings where tables are frequently moved. Clean cast iron bases with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals that damage finishes. If using outdoors, apply a protective coating annually to prevent rust. For uneven floors, adjust the levelling feet rather than using makeshift solutions like folded napkins or beer mats—your customers will notice the difference!
