How to choose an outdoor table base for a terrace?

If you're one of those professionals who prefers to buy table legs and table tops separately, rather than investing in ready-to-use tables, you may find what you're looking for in this article. In fact, we're going to talk about the selection criteria for table legs, so that you can create solid, designer tables yourself. The furniture in question is outdoor furniture that you can install on your restaurant terrace, in the garden or on the balcony, and which can help you attract and retain customers and also set you apart from the competition.

Determining the type of table base

First and foremost, it's worth noting that there are different types of table legs. The most classic are the fixed table legs, which are suitable for all types of tables and are generally fixed 4 to a table top. This is the case, for example, with the Bologna black cast-iron-aluminium base offered on the Richard Diffusion site, or the Scandinavia brown aluminium terrace base. Then there are the central table tops, which attach to the center of the table tops. These often go solo, as each is designed to support the full weight of the tabletop and ensure its stability. To give just a few examples, there's the Oregon black aluminum 4-branch round center column base, the Oslo matte aluminum round center column base with square base, the Leaf gray aluminum 3-branch round center column base and the Lima black aluminum 4-branch round center column base. The other type of table leg to consider is the adjustable or adjustable table leg, which adjusts in height and is mainly used for bar tables. And finally, there are the trestle table legs, which are installed in pairs under table tops, such as the Turis aluminum gray-matte 2-column base.

Take certain criteria into account: material, height, desired number, shape and color

If these are the different types of table legs you can find in the Richard Diffusion boutique, we'd like to introduce you to the main criteria for choosing an outdoor table base. Firstly, the manufacturing material must be solid, resistant and aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, the height must be between 70 and 72 cm to match your outdoor high table. Then there's the number of legs, which depends on the size of your tabletop and the space available. And finally, the shape and color of the tabletop should be selected according to the finish of the tabletop and the particularities of your outdoor décor.
