Outdoor restaurant tables

A terrace has almost everything that makes a table wobble: cobblestones, lifted tiles, drainage slope and daily cleaning. esTABLEes tables compensate for the floor at each foot, so they stay firm wherever you put them, with no wedges.

Outside, moving a table a few centimetres changes its footing completely. Stability has to travel with the table instead of relying on a wedge left behind on the ground.

Buying criteria

Paving

Measure the worst spot

Each cobblestone joint is a 3–8 mm step, and terraces fall 1–2% to drain water. Find the biggest gap under a leg: the esTABLEes system compensates up to 30 mm of unevenness.

Exposure

Covered or open to the weather

A covered porch and a terrace in full sun and rain are different jobs. AGORA and CREU have steel frames with MTX outdoor paint.

Setup

Opening and closing every day

If the terrace is set up each morning, a table must be steady as soon as it is put down. esTABLEes tables level themselves a few seconds after placing.

Top

CREU takes tops up to 80 × 80 cm or Ø80 cm; AGORA, up to 79 × 79 cm.

Why stability matters

Cobblestones

With esTABLEes

The table compensates for the joint wherever you leave it.

With wedges or levellers

Wedges shift with wind, cleaning or guests brushing past.

Slope

With esTABLEes

The system solves the footing inside the leg.

With wedges or levellers

The wedge has to be reset every time the table moves.

Frequently asked questions

What table should I choose for a cobblestone terrace?

One with automatic stabilization. Cobblestones are the typical case: each joint is a 3–8 mm step, well within the 30 mm of unevenness the esTABLEes system compensates.

Can I leave the tables outside all year?

The outdoor versions are built for continuous use. Clean them now and then to keep the finish.

Can I use the same family indoors and outdoors?

It depends on the model: each product sheet says whether it is indoor or indoor/outdoor. CERAMIC, EQUIS and several TARS and SQUARE versions work in both.

Is there a minimum order?

AGORA is supplied from 10 units. The SV30 kit comes in packs of 48 stabilizers, enough for 12 four-legged tables.
