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.

U-Shaped Metal Table Base
The U-Shaped metal table base is an excellent choice for wood, stone, or even glass table tops. This product is custom made-to-order to your desired width, length, and height and can be made to work for benches, coffee tables, dining tables, conference tables, and everything in between! This metal base adds a unique twist to traditional table frames and metal table legs. The base still primarily utilizes simple shapes, but adds a unique elegant accent with the curves of the main support. The design of this base also makes it an excellent choice for river tables with a center river as the metal base would not be visible through the center.
This metal base is made from heavy duty structural steel plate and custom formed sheet to create the unique look. It is fully welded, requiring no assembly, and provides an extremely durable, supportive surface for the heaviest of tabletops. The base is hand finished with extreme attention to detail to ensure the highest quality product. For wood top applications, the mounting plates include elongated holes for the wood to freely expand and contract. For glass top applications, the mounting holes are omitted and we include rubber bumpers for the glass to rest on. The base also comes with felt pads for floor protection.
All products undergo extensive quality control checks to ensure your products are made as specified and come free of any defects or sharp edges. Please Contact Us if you have any questions about the sizing, details, or applications of these legs or see our Base Sizing Guide for additional information.
