CT3006 Compact Round Table Base

The FLAT Tech CT3006 is a Compact Round Table Base for dining-height layouts that need steady tops in small spaces. This Compact Round Table Base uses FLAT hydraulic auto-adjust technology to level itself on uneven floors and to keep joined tabletops flush. With a 17 inch round base and 3 inch column, it preserves legroom while supporting tops in the recommended size range. The cast iron frame with textured black finish stands up to daily service and frequent resets.

At a Glance

Type: Dining-height round pedestal. Base: 17 inch diameter. Column: 3 inch round. Plate: 13 inch × 13 inch. Finish: Textured black cast iron. Technology: Hydraulic auto-adjust leveling. Tops: Up to 26 inch round or 24 inch square. Best for: Compact dining layouts and cafés.

Why Choose a Compact Round Table Base

This round pedestal keeps the footprint small, yet the table feels solid and calm in use. First, the hydraulic core senses floor changes and settles the base with light pressure. Next, your staff can push tables together and get smooth seams for larger parties. Then, the 17 inch diameter helps tight rooms maintain aisle flow and chair clearance. As a result, guests experience fewer wobbles and teams move faster during peak hours.

Tabletop Fit & Mounting Tips

Recommended top size: up to 26 inches round or 24 inches square
Maximum published top weight: about 40 pounds
Top plate: 13 inches × 13 inches
Column: 3 inches round

Center the plate on structure, not near weak edges, and confirm insert locations before drilling. For heavy hardwoods, verify total mass and balance, then test the level action after standing the table. If you need a similar size with a 22 inch round base, see CT3012. For selecting the right top, review our guide on restaurant table sizing. If you prefer a cross-style at dining height, compare CT2007, and for bar height look at CT2061 or CT2072.

Pro Tip

Mark plate holes with painter’s tape before drilling, then dry fit the base to confirm chair swing and aisle clearance. After mounting, press lightly on opposite edges so the system settles, and recheck torque after the first week of service.

Designed for These Spaces

CT3006 fits cafés, small dining rooms, and tight corners that need compact tables. It pairs well with 26 inch rounds that seat two, or with 24 inch squares that can be joined for four. Because it auto-levels in seconds, it suits older buildings and light patio use where floors vary slightly. It also works in flexible seating plans that shift often between singles and grouped layouts. When you step up to larger tops, move to a wider base or cross spread for added stability.

With basic upkeep, the base stays stable through daily use.
