Piedistallo E2 per tavolo da bambino

Applications: Please make a clear determination regarding the desired height and width of the side frame pieces as well as the length of the crossbar strut determining the overall length of your table base. The frame pieces and the crossbar struts can be combined to create table bases of varying sizes. The smallest a base can be is 660 x 700 x 800 mm (h x w x l), the largest is 720 x 780 x 1350 mm. One also has the choice between side frames which are connected to one another by the cross strut in the middle of their horizontal bars or connected off-centre (offset), i.e. more towards the "back" of the horizontal bars (imagine the table against a wall). The latter variation allows for more leg room under the table and is recommended if it is to be used primarily from one side as, for instance, a writing table.

Please notice that when assembling the table with an offset crossbar you can only put the cross struts together one way because of the placement of the bore holes in the side frames.

The table top normally lies upon the hooded plugs at the top end of the side frames and extends beyond them on all sides. This presents no problem when the table top is heavy enough that it will not slip or slide. If you want it to be more secure, however, there are a number of possibilities: anti-slip rubber plugs can be introduced; the fasteners for table tops can be used to allow screwing the table on; the height adjuster with solid plate also enables a screw attachment to the side frames. If the table is to stand on an uneven surface, the adjustable feet will be extremely helpful as level-balance.

When used as a drawing table, the table´s noticeably low original height of 660 mm is more than acceptable because the rear portion of the table is thereby eminently reachable. For use as a writing or dining table, it is advisable to use the basic height adjuster to raise the side frames. You can, of course, just order a 720 mm side frame to begin with, because with this height, together with a 30 mm thick table top, you will have a very comfortable table height of 750 mm. If the rubber castors are added to the frame, the table will be approximately 75 mm higher which means that, even if the 660 mm side frame is used without any height adjusters, you will still have a comfortable table height.

The table top can also be set at a slant: the simplest way to achieve this is to place the front edge of the table top on the horizontal bars at the front of the side frames instead of in the usual position on top of the vertical bar (the table top just sits in the "L" formed by the two bars (the rear section of the table top rising to the end of the rear vertical bar). In this way a slant of about 2 degrees is produced which can then be increased by as much as 19 degrees by utilizing the height adjusters. If you want to set the table top at a slant without having to place its front edge on the side frame’s horizontal bar and want to use just height adjusters instead, it is advisable, after a certain angle, to implement the fasteners for inclined tops because otherwise the table top can, in the worst case, slip off. In this version of slant setting, the rear plates would be screwed to the table top but the forward plates would not. Please note that the height adjuster with a solid plate cannot be used for setting the table at a slant.

What could be more attractive in a table base system than that it can be used as a piece of furniture that can grow larger as the child grows himself. The child version of the E2 table base can, with the help of the height adjusters, start at a height of 550 mm (including a 22 mm table top in place) for six year olds and be expanded to a height of 750 mm (normal table height) thereby making it useful from the first grade all the way to graduation.

The heights to which it can be adjusted correspond to those that are set out in EN 1729/E 1995 (European norm). The crossbar struts of the table base when attached are offset from the middle of the side frames (away from the front of the table) so that even a long-legged 15 year old still has enough leg room to do his homework comfortably.

In order to secure the height adjusters, we have developed a clever solution: instead of the usual metal pins used for the normal E2 table base to stick through the height adjustment hole, the child’s version has an easily mounted screw with a bushing which cannot come loose.

In order to secure the table top on the base so that it won’t slip, the height adjusters are outfitted with suction cups which, in comparison to a screw based attachment, have the advantage that the underside of the table top remains undamaged so that the table top can be turned over when the top surface has become marred.

As a fitting table top for the child E2 table base we have on offer the TABLE TOP, MELAMINE RESIN COATED, WHITE with beech wood edge band in the size 22 x 680 x 1200 mm. Coloured table tops can be found under TABLE TOP, LINOLEUM COATED.
