Description
For Any Top Material
The Hure bases are designed to carry whatever your woodworker — or stone fabricator, or metalworker — builds for you. Live edge walnut. Reclaimed barn oak. Honed marble. Polished concrete. Hot-rolled steel. The bases are the constant; the top is yours to choose.
Four Finishes, Fully Customizable
Each base is hand-finished in your choice of:
- Natural steel — hot-rolled, hand-selected for grain and character. The original Hure look.
- Polished stainless — mirror-grade, for clean modern interiors and high-traffic commercial use.
- Glossy red paint — automotive-grade, deep and saturated. The signature statement finish.
- Sage green paint — soft, muted, period-correct to the factory floors these bases came from.
Custom paint and color matching are available — bring us a Pantone, a sample, or a paint chip.
Sized to Your Top
Every Hure base is built to your top’s dimensions. Standard configurations:
- Dining height — built for a 2″ top, 28″ base height, 30″ finished
- Bar height — built for a 2″ top, 40″ base height, 42″ finished
- Lengths from 6 ft to 30 ft+ — we configure two-base or three-base layouts based on your top’s length and weight
Working With Your Woodworker
We’ve shipped Hure bases to woodworkers, slab dealers, and stone fabricators across the country. Send us your top’s final dimensions and weight, and we’ll spec the base layout to match: two bases for tops up to roughly 12 feet, three bases for longer or heavier installations. A two-base setup supports approximately 600 lbs of top; a three-base setup supports approximately 900 lbs.
Built in Phoenix, Stamped Hure
Each base is welded, ground, and finished by hand. Every base carries the “Hure” stamp on the face — a quiet tribute to the original. These aren’t reproductions; they’re the next chapter of a base that’s been holding up working surfaces for over a hundred years.
Lead time: typically 12 weeks or more from deposit. Shipping: bases up to approximately 14 feet ship fully assembled; larger configurations ship in segments for safe transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the bases only, or does it include a top?+
This is the bases only — built to be the foundation for a top you supply or have made elsewhere. If you’d like us to build the top as well, see the
complete Hure Dining Table.
What finishes are available?+
Natural steel, polished stainless, glossy red, and sage green are shown as standard. Custom paint colors and color matching are available — send us a Pantone, sample, or paint chip during your commission conversation.
Can I customize the length and height?+
Yes. Length is configurable from 6 feet to 30 feet or more by adjusting base count and spacing. Height is built to standard dining (30″ finished) or bar (42″ finished) — other heights available on request.
How many bases will my top need?+
Two bases support tops up to approximately 12 feet and roughly 600 lbs. Three bases handle longer or heavier tops up to approximately 900 lbs. Send us your top’s dimensions and weight and we’ll spec the layout.
What kind of top can I put on it?+
Anything your top builder can deliver — live edge slabs, reclaimed planks, stone, concrete, steel. The bases are engineered to carry common top materials at standard thicknesses.
Do you stamp every base?+
Yes — every Hure base carries the “Hure” stamp on the face, a tribute to P. Hure, the French machinist whose cast iron bases inspired the original.
What’s the lead time?+
Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit. Larger or more custom configurations may run longer. We’ll confirm your timeline during the commission conversation.
How do they ship?+
Bases up to approximately 14 feet ship fully assembled. Larger configurations ship in segments for safe transport and are assembled on-site. Large crates may require a loading dock or forklift — we’ll plan with you during the commission.
I’ve seen something that looks exactly like this on another site. Is it the same piece?+
No. Vintage Industrial designs have been copied extensively since 2009, primarily by Asian manufacturers selling through direct-from-China storefronts. The pieces look similar in photos but weigh a quarter of what ours do — they’re not designed to last, they’re designed to sell at a cheap price. Vintage Industrial sells direct only, through retro.net. We have no other sales channels, no third-party retailers, no Amazon storefront. If you’re seeing something like this anywhere else, it’s a counterfeit. Every Vintage Industrial piece is built to order in our Chicago shop by hand, from hot-rolled steel and solid hardwood, with a 12+ week lead time.
