Cantilever Table Base
The Cantilever Table Base supports tabletops from the wall instead of the floor. This mount keeps booth seating open and the floor clear. It’s popular for modern banquette layouts and compact dining spaces. Additionally, it installs quickly and weighs only about ten pounds, making handling easier during setup or maintenance.What It Is
The JICAT-15.5×21.5SM, sometimes labeled JICAT-15.5×21SM, is part of JI Bases’ cantilever family. This design eliminates the pedestal leg entirely. Instead, it anchors to the wall with a welded steel bracket and fixed 15.5 inch height. The 21 inch arm and 19.75 inch projection provide strong leverage support. The 2 inch steel tube frame carries a black textured powder-coat finish. Because load transfers through the wall, proper blocking or stud backing is essential. Designers pair this model with compact tables where seating needs to stay clear beneath the top. For example, it complements end bases like CL2636281A when you need mixed wall and floor support in one layout.At a Glance
15.5″ high wall bracket. 21″ long arm. 19.75″ projection. 2″ steel tubing. Black textured finish. Supports tops up to 30″ long.
Size & Compatibility
This compact model fits tabletops up to around 30 inches in length. For larger tops, upgrade to the JICAT-15.5×33LG or add a pin leg for additional load control. The cantilever pairs well with traditional pedestal systems like CL2036281A and CL2642281A. Together, they let designers blend wall-mount seating with freestanding tables in the same project. Additionally, they all connect back to our full table bases collection for broader compatibility. This creates visual consistency and simplifies parts sourcing across restaurant chains.Use Cases
Use the cantilever base where aisle flow and leg clearance matter most. Banquette seating, café walls, and booth runs benefit from the open floor space. Guests can slide in comfortably without hitting a pedestal. Additionally, maintenance staff clean faster since the floor beneath the table stays clear. Architects seeking ideas for modern hospitality spaces often review restaurant design trends that feature floating seating concepts. This base provides the structure needed to achieve that look while maintaining commercial durability.Design Insight
Floating tables visually expand dining rooms. Wall-mounted supports like this remove clutter and give small booths a larger feel.
Installation and Setup Tips
Locate studs or blocking before positioning each bracket. Mount using lag bolts or anchors suited to your wall material. Check bracket spacing and tabletop height before tightening fasteners. Additionally, confirm the table remains level after attaching both mounts. Avoid drywall-only mounting since it cannot support live loads. Finally, review the hardware after the first service week and re-tighten if needed to prevent settling.Installation Reminder
Do not forget to 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.

Care and Maintenance
Clean the base with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish. Check anchor bolts monthly to ensure they remain secure.

Locate solid blocking or studs before mounting. Use lag bolts or heavy-duty anchors rated for the wall type. Keep both brackets level and verify final tabletop height. Never mount only into drywall. For additional tips, review our process page.
What tabletop sizes does this base support?
The JICAT-15.5×21.5SM supports tops up to about 30 inches long. For longer surfaces up to 54 inches, move to the JICAT-15.5×33LG or add a pin leg. Always check wall load capacity before installation.
Can I pair this cantilever with other base types?
Yes. Designers often combine wall mounts with freestanding bases like the CT7211 to balance long tables. This mix gives strong support while keeping open floor space along booth seating.
How do I maintain the black powder-coat finish?
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid acids or abrasives that could scratch or dull the surface. Inspect anchors and tighten bolts during routine maintenance. See our care and cleaning guide for more.
Where is a wall mounted table base most useful?
It works best in booths, banquettes, and café seating areas where legroom and clean floors are priorities. Removing a floor pedestal improves comfort and helps meet accessibility goals.
