Quick Sizing Guide for Metal Table Legs and Bases

Width

A quick, general rule of thumb is to take the overall width of your tabletop and subtract 24″ to get the width of your table base. Make sure the legs do not go below these minimum widths:

  • Dining heightย – 20″ width minimum
  • Counter heightย – 24″ width minimum
  • Bar heightย – 28″ width minimum

For any metal table base designs that taper in at the floor, add 6-8″ to the above minimums for the minimum base width since the width is measured at the widest point of the base, at the top, and they taper in 6″ to 8″ at the floor.

Length (if applicable)

Some of our metal trestle bases are intended for use with square or round tops, so the “width” of the base is a measure of the overall diameter of the base and length is not an option. For base styles that specify both width and length, the length of the base will depend on how much overhang your tabletop can support. As a general rule of thumb, follow the below max overhang recommendations for the below top materials:

  • Wood Topย – Top length minus 36″
  • Stone Topย – Top length minus 24″
  • Glass Topย – Top length minus 24″

Top thicknesses and strengths vary, so it is ALWAYS best to get a recommendation from the fabricator of your tabletop for overhang allowances. Also make sure the length of the base does not drop below the above width minimums for stability.

Height

  • Dining heightย is finished at 30″, so subtract the thickness of your tabletop from 30″ to get the height of the table base. Round down to the nearest inch to account for the included leveling feet.
  • For counter height, subtract the thickness of the tabletop from 36″.
  • For bar height, subtract the thickness of the top from 42″.

Coffee tables, side tables, and bench bases

  • You typically want the width of the base for smaller sized builds to be just a couple inches smaller than the top.
  • Benches typically have a finished height that is 12″ less than the table height. So subtract the thickness of the top from this measurement to get the height of the base.
  • Coffee tables typically have a finished height equal to, or a couple inches below the surrounding seating height. Usually around 18″ to 20″ tall.
  • Side tables typically have a finished height equal to, or slightly below the surrounding arm rest height of nearby seating.

Tubing Size

  • 1″ tubeย – Reserved for small, lightweight tables, such as side tables or coffee tables
  • 1.5″ or 1×2 rectangular tubeย – Suitable for smaller tables, dining tables with a minimalistic style, or bench bases
  • 2″ or 1×3 rectangular tubeย – Most common size material, suitable for most applications
  • 3″ or 2×3 rectangular tubeย – Suitable for heavier or larger tabletops, or where a more prominent look is desired for the metal table base
  • 4″ or 2×4 rectangular tubeย – Gives a massive look to the table base, suitable for the heaviest and largest of tabletops.

Rectangular Cross-X Style Metal Table Base

The Rectangular Cross-X Style Metal Table Base is an adaptation of our popular Cross-X Style Metal Table Base, however this base is intended for use on narrow rectangular tops or oval tops. It is commonly used for dining tables, kitchen tables, coffee tables, desks, and much more. The base is free standing, and works with wood, stone, and even glass tops. The steep angles and geometric design of this base pair well with almost any contemporary, traditional, or industrial design accents.

This steel base uses simple geometry to create a highly functional aesthetic base design that will serve as an heirloom quality conversation piece for decades to come. Made from grade A500 structural steel, this metal base is build to last. The base can be made from a variety of different tubing sizes, depending on how prominent you want the base to look. Larger tubing sizes do also off additional strength and stability to the base. Since the base supports the center of the width and length sides of the tabletop, this base is not recommended for rectangular tops exceeding 36″ wide, as the corners of the top can be very easy tipping points for the assembled table. The base comes standard with mounting tabs with slotted mounting holes as well as felt-tipped leveling feet for floor protection. For glass top applications, the mounting tabs and holes are omitted, and the top of the base is left smooth and seamless and we include clear adhesive backed rubber bumpers for the glass to rest on.

For wider tops, or if you are looking for this same design that has the supports more towards the 4 corners of the tabletop, see our Spider Style Metal Table Base
