The right table base depends on the tabletop shape, tabletop dimensions, seating position and floor space.

Berjaya Table & Chair offers black-and-gold metal, cast iron, mild steel and stainless steel table-base categories.

Use the following decision process.

Is the tabletop round or square?

A centre-column base is often considered for individual round or square tables because it may allow chairs to be positioned around several sides.

However, the selected base still needs to be compatible with the tabletop dimensions and weight.

Is the tabletop long or rectangular?

Longer tabletops may require a different support configuration, such as multiple bases, H-shaped legs or a rectangular frame.

Do not assume that one centre base will support every rectangular tabletop.

Will customers sit on every side?

The table-leg position affects legroom. A base that occupies too much space under the table may interfere with knees, feet and chair placement.

Create the seating layout before selecting the table base.

Is the floor area limited?

Check the floor footprint of the base. A wide floor plate may affect walkways or make it difficult to position tables close together.

The top and bottom measurements of a table base may be different, so request complete dimensions.

Which table-base material should I choose?

Consider:

• Desired appearance
• Tabletop material and dimensions
• Intended location
• Cleaning routine
• Required table height
• Mounting method
• Verified product specifications

What measurements are required?

Before choosing a base, prepare:

1. Tabletop length and width
2. Round tabletop diameter
3. Tabletop thickness
4. Tabletop material
5. Finished table height
6. Mounting-hole requirements
7. Chair positions
8. Required number of bases

A table base should be treated as part of a complete table system—not as a separate decorative item.
