Description
The Bronx is not a table base. It is a mechanical statement — the product of a philosophy that holds that furniture built to last a century should look like it. Two 5-ton rated screw mechanisms work in tandem to raise and lower the top between seated and standing heights with effortless precision. Two 12″ cast iron crank handles operate independently; turn either one. The adjustment is smooth, deliberate, and satisfying in the way that only fully mechanical engineering can be.
The base is fabricated from hot-rolled steel, hand-selected for grain and character, with over 200 rivets and bolts visible in the structure — not decorative, every one structural. Finishes include natural patina steel, Aged Red, Aged Orange, and Aged Yellow, each developed through a hand-applied process that deepens over time. Antique brass hardware is available. The base supports tops from dining to conference scale; top weight capacity and length range are finalized during your commission conversation.
All wooden tops paired with this base include a breadboard end on both sides to prevent seasonal movement in the hardwood — a detail that signals the difference between furniture built to photograph and furniture built to last. Complete the commission with the Vintage Industrial casegoods collection — storage built to the same steel standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for daily use?+
Yes. The steel base is engineered to industrial tolerances, a grade above both commercial and residential furniture. These aren’t display pieces — they’re built for the factory floor, refined for the room.
What wood species are available for the top?+
Standard species are walnut, oak, mahogany, and cherry. All tops are solid, premium, sustainably sourced hardwood, hand-selected for figure and grain. Other species are available on request and finalized during your commission conversation.
What steel finish options are available?+
Natural patina steel is shown as standard. Aged Red, Aged Orange, Aged Yellow, and antique brass hardware are all available and finalized during the commission process.
Can I specify the table size?+
Yes — top dimensions, height range, and configuration are all adjustable. Everything is finalized during your commission conversation.
How does the crank mechanism work?+
Two 5-ton rated screw mechanisms raise and lower the top via two 12″ cast iron crank handles. No electricity required — the mechanism is fully mechanical, built to last, and field-serviceable.
What is the lead time?+
Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit, depending on configuration. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the start of your commission.
How is it delivered?+
Standard delivery is freight curbside. White glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available; delivery method is confirmed during your commission conversation.
