Hure Table Base

The Hure table base is our tribute to P. Hure — the French machinist whose lathes and milling machines stood on these iconic cast pedestals from the late 1800s through the 1940s. Originals are nearly impossible to find in America, so we build them here in Phoenix from hot-rolled steel, hand-finished, and stamped “Hure” on the face.

This is the base only — designed as two separate bases (or three for longer runs) that anchor your top. Pair it with a live edge slab, reclaimed plank, stone, concrete, or steel top from your woodworker. Want us to build the top too? See the complete Hure Dining Table.

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.
