Dining Table Legs

What are separate dining table legs and why do people choose them?

Separate table legs give you the freedom to choose the top and the base independently, so your table suits your interior exactly. A solid base makes sure your dining table always stands level, even on uneven floors. At Mokana you will find metal frames and wooden legs side by side, from industrial to country. That way you put together a table you will not find quite like that anywhere else, and one that suits the way you experience your dining room.

The right base for your table top

When choosing a base, look mainly at the weight and the dimensions of your top. Heavy, thick tops such as solid oak or suar wood call for a sturdy frame: a matrix leg or U-frame carries such tops without any trouble and keeps the table perfectly level. Lighter tops sit nicely on a spider base or sled base. If you want to put separate legs under your own top, check that the mounting plate and the top thickness match up.

The most popular models: from matrix leg to spider base

The matrix leg has been the most chosen model for some time. With square steel sections this base looks rugged and industrial, and it combines effortlessly with wooden and concrete-look tops. If you are after an airy, light look, the spider base is indispensable: the slim, round steel legs let plenty of light through and make smaller rooms look visually larger. Hairpin legs work excellently under compact dining tables and in Scandinavian interiors. U-frames and V-legs are sleek and practical: thanks to their open construction you keep plenty of legroom under the table and get in and out of your chair easily. Metal frames come in matt black, steel look and most RAL colours, with a powder coating that resists scratches and rust.

Cast iron and adjustable legs for older floors

For a raw, hand-crafted look and maximum balance, cast iron legs with an adjustable screw base are a fine solution. They let you correct small differences in height easily, which is handy in older buildings with an uneven floor. These legs carry heavy tops with ease and give your dining room an instantly rugged, industrial touch. Do note: not every model is adjustable. Cast iron legs in particular offer stepless height adjustment, while other designs are supplied in fixed sizes.

Wooden table legs: warmth and character

If you are after a natural, welcoming feel, wooden legs in teak or mango wood are an attractive choice. Teak monastery legs stand out for their classic column shape and warm, brown tones. Mango wood legs surprise with their colourful variation in grain and wood structure, so every base is slightly different. Both are finished with a water and scratch resistant lacquer, so you enjoy them for years. Care is simple: dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth and use coasters for hot or wet items.
