Why this standard height table base earns its place
There's a particular kind of table base that does its job so well nobody notices it's there — it just quietly stops the table wobbling, tipping or sliding around no matter how busy the session gets. This Bolero base is built from solid cast iron specifically to be that piece of furniture. At 720mm high with a 420 x 420mm square footprint, it's finished in black with a metal frame, and self-assembly means it's on its feet and ready to take a top the same day it arrives.
Cast iron is the whole story here. At 12.5kg it's a genuinely heavy base, and that weight is doing real work: it keeps the table planted through the daily knocks, leans and bumps of café, bar, pub and restaurant service, cutting down on the toppled drinks and spilled plates that come from a base that's too light for the room. It's rated for both indoors and outdoors, with a zinc protective layer guarding against the elements if it ends up on a terrace or in a beer garden rather than a dining room.
It's built to pair with Bolero table tops up to 600mm in diameter or 700 x 700mm square, so it suits anything from a small bistro two-top to a larger square table for four. Cast iron also shrugs off the impact damage and corrosion that lighter bases pick up over years of hard use, which is exactly the durability a front-of-house table needs when it's being pulled out, pushed in and leaned on service after service.
