Why this standard height table base earns its place
This is a standard-height table base — the stainless steel column and foot that carries a tabletop, rather than a complete table. It stands 680mm tall on a 400mm-diameter footprint, and at 17.75kg it has enough weight in the base to keep a table steady without needing to be fixed down. It's self-assembly, so it goes together on site rather than arriving built.
Stainless steel is the whole reason to choose a base like this over a painted or coated alternative. It's rust proof, it shrugs off rain and washdowns, and it needs nothing beyond ordinary cleaning to stay looking right — which is exactly what a pavement café or terrace base takes a battering doing. Bolero specify it for indoor and outdoor use precisely because it doesn't care which side of the door it ends up on.
The 400mm diameter and 680mm standard height are sized for café and restaurant tabletops rather than poseur or breakfast-bar heights, so it slots into a normal dining or café setup without the top sitting awkwardly high or low. Being a base rather than a fixed table also means it's the part that takes the daily wear — chair legs, mop buckets, the odd knock from a passing tray — while the tabletop above stays untouched.
