Restaurant table bases

The base decides the footing, the legroom and how easy it is to clean underneath. esTABLEes bases carry the anti-wobble system inside: in the leg (vertical version) or in the base itself (horizontal version), with nothing on show.

A new top won't fix a table that wobbles. Footing is decided in the base.

Buying criteria

Top

Size the base to the top

Top size, weight and shape set the requirements. MICHELIN takes round tops up to 140 cm in diameter, for up to 10 guests; QUO L2 takes 150 × 90 cm tops for 6–8.

Legroom

Leave room for guests

A central pedestal such as EQUIS or QUO keeps the legroom clear. Check that it doesn't clash with the chairs, too.

System

Vertical or horizontal

The vertical version sits inside each leg and keeps the look of a standard tube. The horizontal version, patented internationally, is built into flat bases such as QUO.

Cleaning

A clear floor

TARS legs are set at 60º, which raises the column and makes mopping underneath easier.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy the base only?

Yes. Most families are sold as a base for your own top, and some also as a complete table.

How do I choose a restaurant table base?

Weigh up top size and weight, number of guests, legroom and floor type. If the floor is uneven, choose a base with the anti-wobble system built in.

Can SV30 go on a base I already have?

Yes, if the legs are tubular: directly in Ø28 or Ø30 mm tube, or with an adapter in Ø40 mm round or 40 × 40 mm square tube. It replaces the original foot caps on the legs.

How are the bases delivered?

Unassembled, for easier transport and installation.
