All dreams must start from ground up. In the table’s case, that’s your base. We offer 4 materials at Blafink: 

Acrylic

Best for

• Dining tables

• Work desks

• Pairing with a solid wood top

Pros

• Allows light to pass through (even more than glass), creating the effect of a visually lighter, “floating” effect.

• Excellent first impression since the material is rarely used in Singapore.

• Looks “designer” with a more budget price tag. 

Cons

• Susceptible to scratches — this may affect the sleek appearance over time.

• Potentially dangerous if you have excitable young children and/or pets who may run into the angular legs when they play.

• Available in 2 designs and sizes at the moment:

The T Shaped Acrylic Legs - W62.5cm x D20cm x H69.5cm
Cross Design Acrylic Legs - W41 x D41 x H69.5cm

Laminate

Best for

• Coffee tables

• Dining tables

• Statement work desks or conference tables

• Anyone who prefers a rounded base

Pros

• Endlessly versatile. Laminate mimics the appearance of different materials such as wood, marble, or natural stone, you can mix and match different laminate bases and tabletops for a design that is uniquely yours.

• More lightweight and affordable than a traditional wooden base.

• Can be wrapped around curves and irregular shapes.

• Easy to maintain — just wipe down with a damp cloth.

Cons

• Beware the radius of no return! Bases have to be a minimum radius of 3 inches or 7.5cm in order for laminates with wood “grain” to properly adhere.

If you have an exceptionally heavy table top, let us have the dimensions and weight of your table slab and we can add reinforcements to our table base structure.

Metal

Best for

• Dining tables

• Work desks

Pros

• The OG workhorse of table bases: endlessly durable, stable, and able to support heavy tabletops.

• Can be customised to any width and length you require.

• Easy upkeep: just wipe down with a damp cloth.

Cons

• Available in black powder-coated aluminium alloy only.

Fabric

Best for

• Statement conference tables

• Occasional tables

• Coffee tables

• Creating that conversation piece that guests won’t stop talking about

Pros

• Your imagination’s the limit when it comes to fabric-upholstered table bases! Choose from an extensive range of colours, patterns, and textures in our guideshop to design your dream table.

• Unlike laminates, fabric-upholstered bases can be wrapped around almost any shape or size you desire.

• Upholstered surfaced can help with sound absorption, which reduces echoes and noise in a room. This is particularly useful in high-traffic areas such as an open-concept office.

Cons

• Challenging to maintain. Avoid this material if you have young children or pets since fabric is susceptible to stains, spills, and accumulating dust and fur.

• Depending on the material, fabric can be more prone to general wear and tear such as fraying and pilling. If you’re choosing this option, our consultants will advise you on what’s good and what’s dud.
