Choosing Dimensions +

HEIGHT

  • Remember to subtract the thickness of your table top when selecting your leg or base height.
  • For example, if your tabletop is 2" thick and you are building a 30" tall dining table, you will choose 28" for the height of your table legs or base.
  • Standard finished heights below, subtract table top thickness to calculate proper leg or base height.
Coffee height 14"-18"
Bench Height 18"-20"
Dining Height 29"-30"
Counter Height 34"-36"
Bar Height 42"-44"

WIDTH

  • The proper width of your legs or base can vary depending on preference and use. A safe rule of thumb is for the legs to be at least two-thirds of the width of the tabletop
  • For instance, if your tabletop is 36" wide, the legs should be 24" or wider, depending on aesthetic preference. Please contact us if you need help with sizing to optimize stability and seating room.

LENGTH

  • It's best to leave at least 12" of overhand on the end of your table if you plan to have head of table seating
  • Some table bases provide more seating room than others. If you have any concerns, please reach out to us and we can help optimize your table base length to suit your seating needs.

Mounting Plates

Flat Plate

3/16” thick, 5” x your chosen width. Our standard Flat Plate comes with 5/16” x 1” slotted holes to accommodate seasonal wood movement. It is a solid solution for attaching the legs or base to your tabletop.

Pro Plate

With added tube steel reinforcement and 5/16” x 1” slotted holes, our Pro Plate serves two purposes. First, it acts as a substitute for channel steel inserts by preventing wood movement, cupping, and warping. This reduces cost and labor time. Second, it eliminates end-to-end, lateral shake in the table by maximizing the rigidity of the mounting plate. If rock solid stability is the goal, the Pro Plate is the way to go.
