  1. USING OUR BASES WITH GLASS TABLE TOPS

    Adobe Spark 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.
