Why this standard height table base earns its place
This is a table base built to do one job and do it well: keep a tabletop exactly where you put it. Cast in solid iron and finished in black, the Bolero brasserie base has that classic decorative silhouette you'll recognise from café terraces and bistro interiors alike — Bolero's own description calls it "decorative and functional," and at 720mm high with a 620 × 620mm footprint, it has genuine presence under a table rather than disappearing beneath it.
The weight is the point. At 15kg, this base is built to anchor a table against exactly the conditions that tip lighter bases over — a busy patio in a stiff breeze, a beer garden on a Saturday night, a bistro floor with covers going past it all evening. Bolero specifically designs it to be "weighted perfectly to keep your tables in place whatever the weather," and cast iron gives it a rigidity and permanence that hollow steel bases can't match. It's rated for both indoor and outdoor use, so the same base works whether it's anchoring a table on a covered terrace or in the dining room behind it.
It's a self-assembly product, and it's built specifically to fit "the pre-drilled ranges from Bolero and Werzalit" — so if you're already running either of those tabletop ranges, or specifying them alongside this base, the fixings line up without any improvising. That compatibility is worth checking against your tabletop choice before ordering, since it's the pre-drilled hole pattern that makes the fit work.
