Why Choose a Counter-Height Cross Base
The CT2088 base offers a compact yet strong footprint, ideal for smaller counter-height tables that still need superior balance. Its built-in Equalizers automatically level the table when placed on uneven floors, saving time during setup and preventing wobble throughout the day. Because of its 22 inch by 30 inch span, this model offers excellent stability without occupying extra floor space, making it perfect for café seating, high-top bars, or bistro counters where efficiency and comfort are key.Tabletop Fit & Mounting Tips
Pair the CT2088 with tabletops up to 28 inches by 36 inches. The 13 inch × 13 inch top plate offers a broad attachment zone to distribute weight evenly across the table. When installing, use fasteners suited for your wood type, and pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. After mounting, apply light pressure on each corner of the tabletop so the Equalizers adjust and lock flush. For larger tabletops, review CT2070 or CT2089. For matching dining-height designs, explore CT2068 or visit The Classic Line for coordinated tabletop options.Pro Tip
When using heavier solid-wood tops, ensure that the screw pattern reaches across the grain lines. This improves long-term rigidity and prevents stress cracks at the mounting points.
Designed for These Spaces
The CT2088 performs best in high-top counters, restaurant lounges, and compact dining areas where space optimization is important. The moderate 22 inch × 30 inch footprint allows for easy movement between tables, while still providing strong lateral balance. Its cast iron design also resists daily wear, making it a practical choice for restaurants, coffee bars, and commercial seating zones with high turnover.Request More Info Now!
Installation Overview
Assembly is simple: attach the 13 inch plate to your tabletop with secure fasteners, stand the table upright, and apply even pressure across the top. The FLAT Equalizers will automatically adjust to the floor’s surface. Once settled, the base locks into position, preventing any rocking or tilt. Because the Equalizers are sealed, the internal components resist dust and debris for long-term reliability.Product Specifications
