Bar-height table bases

Plan the room around the changeover

Start with the seat count for the room and the way your team will set it. Then read the listed dimensions, the frame and the seat options, and whether a model is marked as stackable. A ballroom, a restaurant and a terrace each deserve their own line, so the order reads the way the property is laid out.

A bar-height base lifts the top to about 40 to 42 inches; set bar-height table bases beside stools seated near 29 to 31 inches for the high tops in a lobby bar.

Review the finished height

Check the listed height of the complete arrangement, including the top where relevant. Pair the seating and support by their actual dimensions instead of assuming every bar-height listing is interchangeable.

Match the complete table

Review the base height, footprint, and stated top compatibility before choosing the finish. Check the top material and mounting requirements as part of the same decision.

Property plans

A high-top near the lobby bar gives guests a place to stand with a drink while they wait for a table. The 21 bases here hold a top at bar height, most of them in cast iron, a few in steel, aluminum, chrome or stainless steel. Choose the top first, because its size and shape decide which base will carry it.

The height to plan for

A bar-height table stands at about 40 to 42 inches, the height that suits stools with seats of roughly 29 to 31 inches. Keep the stools and the bases in one plan so every high-top in the lobby lines up at the same height.

High-tops alone will not serve every guest. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, section 902.3 puts accessible dining surfaces from 28 to 34 inches high, and section 226.1 asks that one seat in twenty, 5 percent, sit at such a surface. So a lobby bar furnished with high-tops still wants a few dining-height tables within easy reach. Hold the drawing up against the current standard and the code where the hotel stands before it is final.

Spread and top size

Spread is the width the base covers on the floor, and under a round top it should be two thirds of the top's width at the least. A 30-inch round therefore wants 20 inches; a 36-inch one wants 24. A standing guest leans on the edge of a high-top more than a seated one does, so err toward the wider spread where you can. Nine of these bases are cast iron, two steel, two aluminum, and chrome and stainless steel account for one each. Compare a bar-height table support at $43 with another at $58 and read the listed dimensions of each against your top.

Indoors and out

Three bases are listed for patio use, and only those belong on a terrace or beside the pool bar. The others stay inside, since an indoor base left out through a season can rust and that exposure falls outside the warranty. Table bases carry a one-year warranty against defects in normal commercial use. For the terrace, see outdoor table bases.

Pairing the pieces

Single bases start around $43 and reach $213. Pick the surface in table tops, the seats in bar stools, and the rest of the base range in table bases. Then save the lobby bar to a property plan, with the high-tops placed where guests gather before the restaurant opens.
