Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Spoon Café, a busy seaside spot in Brighton, was struggling with their existing table bases. The old, lightweight models were constantly wobbling on the paved terrace and  showing signs of rust from the salty sea air.

"We were forever apologising for wobbly tables, which isn't a great look. The Bolero bases are absolutely rock-solid. Customers have noticed the difference, and  our staff aren't constantly stuffing coasters under the legs. They’ve been a brilliant and  professional upgrade."

Mark Jennings – Owner, The Salty Spoon Café

The upgrade completely eliminated customer complaints about unstable tables and  significantly enhanced the professional appearance of their popular outdoor seating area.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a clear, flat space for assembly to make life easier.
  • All the fixings you need are included in the box.
  • Attach the central column to the base plate first, ensuring it's securely tightened.
  • Once built, move the base into its final position *before* attaching your heavy tabletop.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth and  a spot of mild detergent.
  • For outdoor use, check for any deep scuffs in the paint and  touch up to prevent rust.
  • Every few months, give the bolts connecting the base to the top a quick check to ensure they're still tight.
  • If you move the table to a new spot, use the adjustable feet to re-level it.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Table Base

Not sure what fits best? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a base for your business.

Weight vs. Wobble

Heavier bases like this cast iron model offer superior stability, which is crucial for customer comfort and  safety. Lighter bases might be easier to move but can lead to wobbly tables.

Base Spread & Top Size

Ensure your base's footprint is wide enough to support your tabletop. This CE153 is perfect for tops up to 800mm, which prevents any risk of tipping.

Consider Leg Room

A central pedestal or step base design provides more legroom for diners than a traditional four-legged table, making for a much more comfortable experience.

Indoor or Outdoor?

If you need a base for a terrace or garden, look for durable, weather-resistant materials like powder-coated cast iron to prevent rust and  wear over time.

Assembly and  Adjustment

Look for models with straightforward self-assembly and  handy features like adjustable feet to save you time and  hassle with uneven flooring.

What Customers Are Saying

A proper solid bit of kit. We bought ten for our pub garden and  they've handled a busy summer without a single wobble. Very happy indeed.

David L. – The Fox & Hounds, Bristol

Really smart looking and  very stable. A bit heavy to assemble on your own, but once they're built, they're not going anywhere. Great value.

Maria C. – Luigi's Bistro, Manchester

The perfect square table base for our restaurant. The adjustable feet are a lifesaver on our old tiled floor. Highly recommend.

What's the Big Deal About Adjustable Feet?

Ever sat at a table that rocks back and  forth every time you lean on it? It’s annoying, and  for a paying customer, it feels cheap. This is nearly always caused by a slightly uneven floor, which is incredibly common in most buildings. That's where adjustable feet come in, and  they're brilliantly simple.

Think of them as tiny, built-in jacks for your table. Each foot has a screw mechanism at the bottom. By simply twisting it, you can lengthen or shorten that one leg by a few crucial millimetres. This allows you to counteract any dip or bump in the floor, ensuring your tabletop is perfectly level and  completely stable. It’s the difference between a relaxing, professional customer experience and  a frustrating one, all fixed with a simple twist.
