Our Large Cantilever Table Base, used to create a granite dining table.

Cantilever and bolt down table bases are a great option for smaller spaces, for creating custom height tables, and for anyone who wants a sleek and simple look for their dining table or kitchen island. Because cantilever bases bolt into the wall, they leave the underside of your table completely free for chairs, and provide ample leg-room. For apartments with limited space, or for banquettes, they provide strength and peace of mind without visual clutter. The photo above comes courtesy of Janel Schroder, who wanted to create a nice granite dining table for her son's compact apartment. As you can see in the photo above, cantilever bases are perfect for fitting larger tables into small spaces. In the example, the area adjacent to the kitchen would have become quite crowded with a traditional table, with one chair on each side. With the cantilever base, Janel Schroder was able to fit four full size chairs and a beautiful granite table top for dining. In the photo below, you can see there is plenty of clearance for the chairs and guest's legs. Another upside is the ability to easily accommodate guest's in wheelchairs.

Bolt down table bases, which secure into your floor, are perfect for both compact and large tables, as they take up a minimum amount of space, are very strong and convey a custom, built-in look that really integrates your table into the design of your room. Stainless steel bolt down bases are a great choice for an outdoor table, kitchen or bar, as the material does not rust. They can be used indoors to create a sleek, modern design that matches high-end kitchen appliances. You can use them to extend your outdoor cooking area, or create fixed tables for dining or drinks. Also, as we've learned from our friends at Shellback Interiors, who used our P1F Chrome aboard a tugboat (see photo below), bolt down bases are perfect for boats, recreational vehicles, and any other use where stability and security are a must. Be sure to check out our selection of cantilever and bolt down bases.
