Calculating frame and tabletop thickness"},"content":{"rendered":"

How high your table ends up depends on two things: the height of the frame and the thickness of your tabletop. Here you can see which frame heights we offer, how to calculate the finished height and what to look out for with the width.<\/p>\n

The calculation: frame plus tabletop<\/h2>\n

The finished height is the height of the frame plus the thickness of the tabletop. An example with a 72 cm frame:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As of October 2026. The table leg finder below always shows which sizes are currently available.<\/p>\n

The width: no wider than the tabletop<\/h2>\n

At its widest point, the frame must not be wider than your tabletop, otherwise the feet stick out. This means the short side of the tabletop, because the two frames sit across it.<\/p>\n

With U-, A- and V-shapes, the frame has a different width at the top and bottom. In the size 30\/45 \u00d7 40 cm, the first number is the width at the top under the tabletop and the second the width at the bottom on the floor: 30 cm at the top, 45 cm at the bottom, 40 cm high. The larger of the two numbers is what counts.<\/p>\n

If the frame is centred, the tabletop overhangs on each side by half the difference. An 80 cm wide tabletop on 70 cm wide rectangular frames therefore overhangs by 5 cm on each side: (80 \u2212 70) \/ 2 = 5.<\/p>\n

Work it out for your tabletop<\/h2>\n

Choose the height and set the width of your tabletop. The table leg finder shows you all suitable frames with dimensions and overhang.<\/p>\n
