Elegant Industrial Steel Bases for Tables and Desks
American Steel bases are highly regarded in table design as a sleek, contemporary way to support many types of Modern Dining Tables and desktops. Each powder-coated steel base displays attractive and distinctive features with its hand-welded joints and raw edges. Combining a steel base with a magnificent slab of live edge or other style of wood top is a great way to bring a flair of industrial design to the table or desk’s overall look. But what makes steel a good choice for table bases? Why are they a popular choice for residential and commercial furniture?
1. Strong, Durable, Reliable
American steel is known for its strength and durability. Typically, it is more reliable than some imported steel options. Paired with a plank-style top, we love the beautiful "X Pedestal" base design shown here in the Bennet Square Dining Table.
2. Excellent for Heavy Tops
American-made steel is the perfect choice for weighty tabletops (wood, granite, quartz, marble) like the live edge maple in this customer photo. Weakening, bending, or wobbling over time isn’t a concern with steel bases. And doesn't the black powder-coated steel Twisted Knuckle Base pair well with the epoxy accents? Check out our collection of live edge dining tables here.
3. Many Color Options
American steel has a wide range of customization options. Sizes, shapes, colors, and finishes are all available for personalized designs. See our selection of table bases where you'll find wood, steel, and wood & steel combinations like the table below.
4. Combining Wood & Steel
We love the way this Hampton Dining Table combines wood with steel to make a gorgeous pedestal base design!
5. Clean, Sleek Lines
The clean lines of steel give a modern and contemporary look to tables and desks while adding a touch of industrial flair. (To illustrate the point of steel's strength, this base's design includes a heavy wooden barnwood beam! Love, love, love!)
Our Desks Gallery offers a wide variety of live edge desk with steel base options and other wooden desk designs. Browse through the images to see some of our favorite desk projects.
6. Steel Is 100% Recyclable
...and can be recycled again and again to reproduce steel products repeatedly without compromising its strength. We love how the possibility of utilizing recycled steel can keep it out of landfills!
7. Powder Coat Protection
The American-made steel used for our tables is powder-coated to help protect from general wear and tear. Powder coating is a surface layer that's applied to steel and other metals that also helps protect from environmental factors that would lead to rust and corrosion.
8. Minimum Maintenance
Steel table bases require very little care. Simple cleaning with a damp cloth is all that’s required. To learn more about how to properly care for your handcrafted furniture, check our FAQ page.
