Tables questions, answered.
Which leg styles are there?
Square posts, tapered, round, turned and hairpin legs, and end panels. Legs can taper towards the floor and splay out, mid century style.
Can I size the table to my room?
Yes. Width runs from 0.6 to 3 m, depth from 0.4 to 1.4 m and height from 0.4 to 1.1 m.
Can the top have round corners?
Yes. Corner radius rounds the corners, up to 300 mm, and the edge can be square, chamfered or rounded over.
Can I get a cutting list?
Yes. The cut sheet lists the boards, nests them on a stock sheet size you choose, and adds up the edge tape, timber, hardware and machining.
