Commercial Table Bases: Cast Iron, Steel and Bolt-Down

The base decides whether a table wobbles, how many guests fit, and how easily the floor gets cleaned. Designform supplies cast-iron and steel bases in dining, counter and bar heights, from compact 22" bistro bases to heavy four-prong bases for large tops.

Sizing a base to the top

Match spread to top size. As a rule, the base spread should reach roughly two-thirds of the width of the table top; heavier stone and butcher block tops need wider, heavier bases.
Height. Dining about 28–29", counter about 34–36", bar about 40–42".
Shape. Round and square single-column bases seat two to four; four-prong and two-prong bases carry rectangular tops and communal runs.
Bolt-down. Standard in food courts, airport concourses and high-traffic public seating.

Finishes and construction

Cast iron and steel with commercial powder coat and brass, black and bronze options. Tables ship with tops and bases separate, with hardware supplied, so a base can be replaced without replacing the top.

See table tops in laminate, solid wood, butcher block, stone and live edge, or browse complete tables. Bases are used across our restaurant, mall and food court, fast casual and brewery projects.

Restaurant Table Bases: Sizes, Heights and Finishes

A table base decides whether a table stays steady when a guest leans on the edge. Designform restaurant table bases come in cast iron and steel, in round, square, cross, 4-prong and 2-prong styles, and in dining, counter and bar heights. Finishes include black powder coat, brass and black brass.

Matching a base to the top

A 24" top works on a 17–20" base; a 30" top on a 17–22" base; a 36" top on a 22–24" base.
Tops 42" and up, and long rectangles, need a 4-prong base, a 2-column base or a pair of 2-prong bases.
Heavy stone, quartz and butcher block tops call for the larger spread, or a double-pedestal base.

Each base lists its maximum top size on its product page. Our table base sizing guide matches every common top size to a base.

Brass table bases

For a statement dining room, the Emilia Brass Base, Bella Brass Base, Katelyn Black Brass Base and Carla Black Brass Base cover tops from 30" up to 54" round, and the Carla adds 2-prong sizes for long tops.

Outdoor and bolt-down bases

For patios and rooftops, choose a base rated for outdoor use, such as the Flat Series or the indoor/outdoor SS Series. Where tables must stay put, use a bolt-down base such as the B900.

Tops and bases ship separately with hardware supplied, so a worn top can be replaced without replacing the base. Pair bases with table tops or start from complete tables. Many bases are on Quick Ship and ship in 2–3 days.
