The Palmer is a single-pedestal dining table base built for continuous seated service in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, bars, bistros and casual cafes. The contemporary pedestal form delivers a clear floor footprint with unobstructed chair access on all sides, which matters in tight covers where banquette rows and freestanding chairs need to co-exist without leg conflicts. At an estimated 18 kg, the weighted bell base sits stable without additional ballast, reducing the risk of tip-over during service or when chairs are pushed back at pace.
Dining Table Base for Restaurant and Hotel Dining
Construction starts at the lower base: a rounded bell-form in powder-coated mild steel with a flat circular floor-contact edge that distributes load evenly across hard surfaces. The bell geometry adds mass low in the structure, keeping the centre of gravity below the table surface where it stabilises the assembly under asymmetric load. The smooth cylindrical centre column rises from the bell shoulder to a black-coated four-arm spider mounting plate at the top. The spider plate carries countersunk fixing holes at each arm end and a central fixing aperture, giving installers multiple anchoring points to draw the table top down flat and prevent rocking on first install. Built for Daily Demand.
The brass-toned bronze finish is applied by powder-coat over the mild steel substrate. Powder-coat on a pedestal base is the correct choice for hospitality floor use: the cured film resists the scuffs, chair contact and floor-cleaning chemicals that strip decorative plating or lacquer over time. The satin sheen of the bronze finish reads as a considered decorative element at floor level, which allows the base to hold its own visually in venues where exposed base hardware is part of the room aesthetic rather than hidden under linen. The contrasting black spider plate sits out of sightline once the table top is fixed, keeping the visible silhouette clean.
The four-arm spider plate accepts standard table top fixing patterns, making the Palmer compatible with solid timber, compact laminate and stone composite tops within the manufacturer's recommended top size range for a 46 cm base spread. Specifiers working across a multi-venue rollout can pair the same base with different top materials by venue without changing the base specification, which simplifies procurement and spares management. The 72 cm standing height suits standard dining chair seat heights and complies with conventional dining ergonomics without modification.
Venue suitability covers indoor restaurant dining, hotel dining rooms, bar and pub dining areas, bistros and casual cafes. The bronze finish reads across contemporary and transitional interior schemes without demanding a matching metal programme throughout the room. Lead time is 8 to 10 weeks. The Palmer carries a three-year commercial warranty. To specify the Palmer Dining Table Base for your next project, Request a quote.
