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.

A Fun Side Project: Custom Resin Table with Toy Cars
We wanted to show off some of our bases with a fun project. Inspired by an Instagram video, our team decided to make this custom resin table filled with toy cars as a gift for our team member's sons. This was an interesting project for us, we have a lot of expertise when it comes to table bases, table tops and other pieces of furniture. We do not have very much (really any) expertise on working with resin or making fully resin table tops. Armed with just a video (in another language) we decided to try and recreate this table top to pair with one of our excellent bases.

Coffee Table Height Bases and Custom Height Table Bases
Coffee tables, a term that sometimes interchangeable with "end tables" or "side tables", come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, materials and even heights. At Tablebases.com, we consider "Coffee Table Height" to be about 18 inches, but it can vary between 16 to 22 inches depending on the height of your surrounding furniture. Luckily, all of the table bases and table legs we make at coffee table height can also be custom cut to whatever specific height you need. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/c4j3Rh5gXvU Coffee tables are usually low tables, meant to be easily accessible while sitting in a lounge chair or a on a couch. While dining table height bases are usually 28 to 30 inches tall to match 18 inch tall dining chairs, coffee tables are matching the much lower heights of modern sofas and lounge furniture. Side tables and end tables are usually a bit taller, closer to 22 inches, to sit near or above the height of the chair or sofa arms. All of them are designed to be utilitarian, a place to set your coffee while you're sitting on the couch. They can also be great statement pieces that show off flowers, decor items, and books.
