Bar-Height Footring Base
The Bar-Height Footring Base by FLAT Tech delivers reliable stability for high-top seating in busy restaurants. This Bar-Height Footring Base combines a wide 30 inch cross base with FLAT PAD self-leveling and a comfort foot ring for bar guests. Because the cast iron build wears well, the finish stays clean through daily service.
At a Glance
Type: Bar-height X-base with foot ring. Footprint: 30 in × 30 in. Height: 40.75 in. Column: 3 in round. Plate: 13 in × 13 in. Finish: Textured black. Leveling: FLAT PAD hydraulic. Best for: Tops to 36 in square or round.
Top Pairing & Compatibility
- Pair with solid wood restaurant tabletops up to 36 inches round or 36 inches square.
- Use standard inserts or screws matched to your substrate for the 13 by 13 inch plate.
- For larger spans or heavier materials, consider dual bases or models like CT2072 or CT2068.
This base clears knees well and lets stools tuck in cleanly. Additionally, the foot ring boosts comfort during longer visits. For low-profile café looks, compare CT3018 or the classic CT2007.
Pro Tip
Mark the mounting zone and pre-drill on structure. Balanced fasteners reduce flex and help the leveling system settle fast when you press the top.
Best Uses in Your Layout
- High-top bars, brewer’s rails, and bistro counters that need steady footing.
- Push-together layouts for events where flush seams matter.
- Corners and perimeters that see frequent moves during resets.
Because the base self-levels, nightly resets go faster. Also, guests feel fewer wobbles as floors change across tiles and joints.
Setup & Anchoring Notes
First, assemble the base, column, and plate on a flat surface and run the tension rod snug. Next, mount the plate to the top using inserts or screws sized for your core. Then place the table upright and press each edge to engage FLAT PAD. For process details, review our process and confirm backing before install.
Reminder
Ask us to Pre-drill your Restaurant Tables. You will spend a few hundred dollars with us, or a few thousand dollars for installers to do it during install.
