What is a table structure?
Before getting to the heart of the matter, it is appropriate to answer the question you may be asking yourself: what is a table structure?
These are table legs reinforced by one or more crossbars.
Just like our table legs, they are entirely made of steel.
Structures are customizable : you can choose the color, width, height and many more parameters.
Why choose a dining table structure?
The table frame is a great choice if you have a particularly heavy and/or bulky top.
The structures adapt to many board materials such as marble, granite or wood for example.
Concretely, this is the best option if you have a tray made of a fragile material.
In fact, it is possible to attach the tray to the structure by gluing them, which saves you from having to drill into fragile materials. This way you don't run the risk of damaging it!
Furthermore, the structures are tailor-made, which means that they adapt to all shapes of trays, however wide, long and thick they may be.
Depending on the models, you will have access to customization:
