When the four-prong cast iron pedestal base was first introduced back in 1958, it changed the world of commercial furniture. It provided a sturdy, durable, and cost-efficient option modeled with the customer in mind. Over 50 years later, the four-prong pedestal base is still commonly found under tables in the hospitality industry. This style is utilized to this day for four main reasons—support, accessibility, comfort, and versatility.
When furnishing a commercial space, the structure is equally important as the design. Food service facilities need furniture that withstands typical wear and tear—and then some! The length of the prongs in this design works with the cast iron top plates to help properly support the tabletop. Upgrade the size of the top plate as needed for additional support!
Commercial spaces need to be accessible and comfortable. The best way to do this is to have a layout and furniture that keeps this in mind, both when in use and not. The 4-prong design allows for various seating options to straddle the baseplate. Chairs can be pushed closer to the table for more aisle space when not in use. Extra room under the table for legs and chairs gives customers a more comfortable experience.
A JI four-prong base has the structure and versatility to succeed in commercial use. This reliable style matches any design genre while maintaining a stable foundation. And with a lifetime guarantee, that's one less thing to worry about. For further information on our table bases, email sale@jacobsinternational.com or call our office at (888) 792-2275.
