USING OUR BASES WITH GLASS TABLE TOPS
Tablebases.com has a fantastic selection of bases to suit any table top and décor. One question we get quite often is how to couple a table base with a glass table top.
Tablebases.com offers a glass top adapter that can be paired with select models of stainless steel and steel table bases. The glass top adapter takes the place of the mounting plate, which would normally be bolted or screwed into the table top material. The glass top adapter is an aluminum disk that matches the brushed metal finish on our stainless steel bases. It attaches to your glass table top with a clear epoxy glue (not included with the adapter), and is then bolted to the table base. The result is a very stable connection between your glass top and your table base, without ruining the sleek and modern style that glass tops provide. Looking down onto your finished table, you would only see your beautiful table base, and the aluminum disk(s). Keep reading for more complete instructions.

White doors create a sense of brightness and evoke a minimalist aesthetic, matching every inch of the room. This safe opportunity matches trim, ceilings, and baseboards, so why not?
