Know before you buy
While the iron top is 13 inches square, the base is sturdy enough to support a medium-sized dining tabletop. For stability, we recommend a top no larger than 36 to 42 inches in diameter or square to prevent tipping.
Yes, the combination of oak and iron makes it a durable choice for a plant stand. However, because it is an antique piece, we recommend keeping it in a covered patio or indoor area to protect the wood finish from direct weather exposure.
The iron top features four pre-drilled corner holes, but it does not include specific screws or bolts. You will need to select hardware that matches the thickness and material of your chosen tabletop.
Yes, 28.5 inches is a standard height for a dining table base. Once you add your tabletop thickness, the total height will typically reach the standard 29 to 30-inch range, providing comfortable clearance for most dining chairs.
To maintain the character of the antique oak, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, as these can damage the vintage finish of the wood.
