Q&A: Can I Have my Base Cut to a Custom Height?

You can order a custom height table base from Tablebases.com, just give us a call to place your order over the phone. Not all of our products can be custom cut, for example, most vintage cast iron models with decorative columns are not customizable.

We know that visualizing a project before it's complete can often be a challenge. To help you create the perfect table for your space, we've put together a handy little diagram showing how many guests you can fit comfortably different sizes of tables, as well as some handy tips for choosing the best size and shape table for your dining space. While it can sometimes be hard to find a complete dining set in the size and shape you want, with the help of Tablebases.com you can pick your table top, table base, and chairs separately, to find the perfect size and shape for your dining area.

Q & A: What do I need to know about LTL Freight Shipments?
Since many of our table bases and table tops are either very large, heavy or both, it's often better to ship orders via what is called "LTL Freight", which stands for "Less-Than-Truckload Freight". This simply means that the items are strapped to a pallet, and shipped on a semi-truck, rather than boxed individually and shipped via a ground service such as UPS or FedEx (though we should note, both UPS and FedEx have freight divisions). In any case, there are a some options and terms with freight shipments that you should know about before placing your order.
Accessible Dining, Banquet and Bar Tables and Bases
It's a good practice for hospitality business owners to consider the range of different guests they serve, and to try to think of the best ways to make everyone comfortable. Do your guests have allergies? Children? Perhaps they have limited vision and travel with a service animal. There are a range of different circumstances your business should be prepared to handle. One of the questions we get quite often is, "How do I make wheelchair accessible tables?" With that in mind, this post is an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which provides guidelines (actually, hard and fast rules) for how restauranteurs should accommodate guest's using wheelchairs, to make sure they can enjoy your hospitality in comfort.

SF District Attorney Files Against DoorDash for Unfair Practices
The San Francisco district attorney’s office has set its sights on the largest delivery service in the US, DoorDash. The city is suing the start-up food delivery service, alleging unfair business practices and worker misclassification. The worker misclassification accusation makes sense, California recently clarified state laws regarding worker classification (whether a worker is an employee or contractor). California is actually the first state in the nation to pass laws surrounding worker misclassification, and recently filed similar lawsuits against Uber and Lyft (in fact, as reported by The Verge, DoorDash is actually helping fund Uber & Lyft’s effort to stymie the law).
