FAQ

 
What does standard height mean? top

Standard height is approximately 28 3/4" tall. We assume a 1 1/4" thick tabletop. This would bring the top of your table to a standard 30" from the floor.

What height is Counter Top height? top

Counter Top height is approximately 34 3/4" tall. We assume a 1 1/4" thick tabletop which brings your tabletop to 36".

What height is bar height? top

Bar height is approximately 40 3/4" tall. We assume a 1 1/4" thick tabletop which brings your tabletop to 42".

Which bases can I get in a custom height? top

Any of our bases with a straight steel column can be ordered in "custom heights". We do not have bar height columns for most the decorative cast iron bases.

Is there an additional charge to order a custom height? top

Yes, for bases less than standard height, add a $10.00 cutting charge per column. For bar height bases (40 3/4"), add $15.00 per column for black bases and $25.00 per column for chrome bases, for stainless steel add $70.00. For counter height bases (34 3/4") add $20.00 per column for both black and chrome.

What is powder coating? top

Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated. The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven. The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish.

Which bases are best suited for granite or marble tops? top

Most of our bases can be used with granite or marble tops if sized properly (the larger the better.) It is usually recommended that a heavier base be used to reduce the risk of tipping.

What does the top of the base look like? The pictures on the website only show the column and base plate. top

To see an illustration of the spider click on the assembly instructions. We don't show the spiders because they are all alike and no one sees the spider once the base is attached to the tabletop.

What will be my shipping costs top

If the items you order can be shipped via UPS the website will calculate the UPS charges at checkout. If there are too many items or the item is too large to be shipped via UPS they will be shipped by truck on a LTL (less than truckload) carrier. We will contact you with the shipping costs once the order is submitted but before it is shipped. We make every effort to ship via least expensive method.
