Floor
Look at the floor before the catalogue
If staff already wedge tables with napkins or coasters, stability belongs in the furniture specification, not in a fix after opening.

Commercial restaurant tables
Dining room floors are rarely flat: tiles, joints, worn parquet or microcement leave one leg in the air. esTABLEes tables and bases have the anti-wobble system built in. It adapts to the floor on its own, so nobody has to wedge a table in the middle of service.
A rigid four-legged table needs all four feet on the same plane. In most dining rooms they aren't, and the problem shows up as folded napkins, cardboard and coasters under the legs.
Buying criteria
Format
Size tables around service
Decide covers per table, aisle widths and which tables get pushed together for groups. The range goes from compact bases such as QUO S or SQUARE S to 200 × 145 cm tops for 8–10 guests with QUO XL.
Cleaning
Finishes that survive daily use
Tops, edges and bases get wiped several times a shift. Choose finishes that can take it and a base that leaves the floor clear for mopping.
Groups
One standard across venues
If you run more than one restaurant, settle on one table family and one system for all of them. esTABLEes has a B2B programme with terms for restaurant groups and chains.

With wedges or levellers
A threaded leveller is adjusted by hand, table by table.
Maintenance

Manual levellers need regular adjustment.
Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurant tables wobble?
Because the floor isn't flat. Tiles, joints, worn parquet or microcement leave one leg without even contact, and with three legs on the ground the table rocks.
Can they handle a high-turnover restaurant?
Yes. The system sits inside the table and needs no maintenance, so there is nothing to readjust between services.
Can I order only the bases and use my own tops?
Yes. TARS, QUO, SQUARE, CIRCULAR, EQUIS and MICHELIN are sold as bases; other families, such as CERAMIC or AGORA, come as complete tables.
Do you work with restaurant groups?
Yes, with groups and multi-site chains. Ask about B2B terms and lead times.
