FAQs for Seattle Folding Table Base

Q: Is the Seattle Folding Table Base suitable for commercial café and restaurant use?

A: Yes, the Seattle Folding Table Base is purpose-built for Australian hospitality venues. Its commercial-grade aluminium construction and black powder-coated finish are designed to withstand daily use in cafés, restaurants and bistros. The sturdy 67mm pole and wide 670mm base span provide excellent stability, making it a reliable choice for busy indoor and covered outdoor dining areas.

Q: What size and weight tabletop can this folding table base support?

A: This café-height folding table base is compatible with tabletops from 600mm round up to 800mm square, supporting a maximum tabletop weight of 12kg. The 450mm x 450mm top cross ensures secure fixing and even weight distribution, making it ideal for compact café tables and small dining settings.

Q: Can I use the Seattle Folding Table Base outdoors?

A: Yes, it’s suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor commercial use. The aluminium frame resists rust and corrosion, while the powder-coated finish adds durability in alfresco dining environments. For fully exposed outdoor areas, we recommend positioning under cover to maximise longevity and maintain the finish.

Q: How does the folding mechanism work, and is it easy to store?

A: The integrated folding mechanism allows the tabletop to tilt vertically, making storage, transport and floor cleaning quick and efficient. This space-saving design is ideal for venues that frequently reconfigure layouts or need to pack down tables at closing time. It’s especially useful in event spaces and function venues.

Q: Does the table base come with adjustable feet?

A: Yes, the Seattle Folding Table Base includes adjustable levelling feet to help stabilise tables on uneven surfaces such as tiles, timber floors or outdoor pavers. This feature improves safety and prevents wobbling, which is essential in high-traffic hospitality settings.

Q: Are castor wheels available for easier mobility?

A cut-down option can be requested to maintain standard café height. This is a practical solution for flexible layouts and multi-purpose spaces.

Q: What is the overall height of the Seattle Folding Table Base?

A: The base stands at 720mm high, which is standard café dining height in Australia. This makes it suitable for use with standard dining chairs in restaurants, coffee shops and casual dining venues, providing comfortable seating for customers during extended dining periods.
