Why this standard height table base earns its place
A cast-iron table base, finished in black, standing 720mm high with a 600 x 600mm footprint at floor level and a gross weight of 20.3kg. That weight is the point: cast iron keeps a table planted, resisting the knocks, catches and casual leaning that come with a busy dining room, without it sliding or tipping every time someone gets up.
It's built to take a beating. Cast iron doesn't dent or crack the way lighter metals can under heavy, repeated use, and a zinc protective layer guards the base against the elements if you're putting it outside on a terrace or in a beer garden — the spec confirms it's suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Bolero pairs it to work with table tops up to 600mm diameter round or 700 x 700mm square, so it's a straightforward way to refresh tired tables without replacing the tops you already have.
There's a practical safety angle too: a heavy, stable base means fewer spilled drinks and dropped plates from a table that rocks or shifts mid-service, which matters as much for guest experience as it does for breakages. It arrives as self-assembly, and the black finish reads as a genuine contemporary upgrade rather than a stopgap — the kind of detail that lifts a room without a full refit.
