FAQs – Tilia Creations | Custom Table Base Questions
Frequently asked questions & help
Q: Do you offer custom sizes?
A: Yes. We'll tailor the product dimensions and steel section size to suit your needs. Please get in touch with us to discuss your project. Charges may apply.
Q: Are your table bases suitable for a stone table top?
A: Yes, our heavy-duty and extra heavy-duty table base collection is specially designed for all types of natural and manmade stone work surfaces. Thin stone slabs are fragile and must be horizontally supported, which is why we engineer the bases for maximum support and use heavy-gauge steel for strength and rigidity.
Q: I have a stone table top, what size table base do I need?
The size of the base is often determined by the intended seating arrangement and style of base. For this example, we'll use the traditional style, 4-leg 'June Bold' design. If your top measures 2000 x 1000 mm, and you want to place chairs on all four sides, we recommend a base size of 1900 x 900 mm.
For the second example, we'll use a central pedestal design such as the 'Xea' table base. If your top measures 2000 x 1000 mm, and you want to place chairs on all four sides, we recommend a base size of 1500 x 500 mm. The overhang is important for placing chairs under the table and to ensure you are able to seat people comfortably at the table without leg interference.
Q: Which base width is right for me, 70 or 50 cm?
Going by a pedestal base such as the Xea, a 50 cm base pairs well with a 100-110cm wide table top. A 70 cm base pairs well with a 120-130 cm wide table top.
For other sizes, please get in touch.
Q: Are your products handmade?
A: Yes, 100%. All of our products are carefully and expertly handcrafted in our East Yorkshire-based workshop close to the cities of Hull and York. By purchasing through us, you're not only putting an enormous smile on our faces, but you're also supporting a small business with big aspirations.
Q: How do I care for my steel?
A: Caring for your powder-coated steel is easy. Dust with a microfiber cloth on a daily basis. To remove unwanted dirt, rub with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Q: Do you offer trade discount?
A: Because all of Tilia Creations pieces are made to order and tailored specifically to each client, we aren't able to offer a standard trade discount on single items. The individual design, administrative, and drawing time makes it difficult for us to sustain. However, we do offer a bulk order discount! If you are looking to place a larger order, contact us for a quote.
Q: Do you offer a bulk order discount?
A: Yes, generally bulk orders allow for cost savings which we're happy to pass on. To receive a quote please email for more details.
Q: Are your frames suitable for outdoors?
A: Our powder-coated mild steel products are suitable for use outdoors. However, an annual maintenance examination should be carried out with any paint chips or visible rust spots taken care of.
