Square topped pedestal table

19 years ago

I'm appealing to you good people here on the furniture board for some help. We are doing a total kitchen reno & have included a banquette space which naturally needs a table. My DH & I LOVE the Kessler 9115 table base -- see this link -- http://www.carolinarustica.com/cart/product.php?productid=58701&cat=1690&page=1.

We can only seem to find round table tops for it, though. Anyone know if you can use a square top (42" or 48") with this type of pedestal? Both sides of our banquette are the same size, so we're thinking a square will be better than a round, though I do love the look of a round table with the banquette.

If you have a square pedestal table with or without a banquette, I'd love to see pics! Many thanks!

Anyone?

You see these all the time in restaurant booth furniture. If you want square, I'd say go for it. The only caveat that I can think of is that the corners are further away from the center of gravity, so applying a lot of pressure on a corner might tip or bobble the table.

I just went to a furniture store last week and they sold a brand of kitchen tables called Bermex. You could design it yourself...pedestal bottom with square top, double pedestal with rectangle top. Then you choose the legs and the finish. I have read about Bermex on other threads and it seems to be a good company.
I also saw the same type thing through Bassett furniture.
Good luck!

Bermex is good, Saloom is much better. I don't sell kessler. Square tops are fine.

Kessler... before ordering it, call the factory and ask some questions. They announced a few months ago they were going to close, then in May they said they'd make certain items, but I got the impression they were getting out of indoor dining furniture. Just call the factory and ask before you order.

Before buying anything look at these dining room tables

molly8of9: Thanks for the Bermex info. Checked their site & you can do just about ANYTHING.

mogator88: Thanks for the info re: Kessler. I did check into it & so far, so good. Any idea on the price range of Saloom? They're lovely & I've heard so many good things on these boards about them, but no idea of pricing.

idalia 2007: thanks for the link, but those tables are just a bit too modern for me.

Today's paper in fact has a story about Kessler reopening, with a smaller lineup. I don't like to feed the rumor mill, but I will post information from public announcements or things I've read in a reputable publication.

I think Kessler is good people, just trying to do their best in the worst of times, and in the furniture business this is the worst of times.

Saloom pricing will vary widely depending on options. They price out similar to (and often less than) Canadel, but with much higher quality. I haven't sold Bermex in a while, so I can't compare with them.

DMOH - Loved to see what you came up with. We are also looking for a square with pedestal to go with benches in a breakfast nook.

Wow, thought this was a dead thread....

In any case casa1, thanks for your interest, but the short answer is we've come up with nothing yet! To be honest in addition to not being able to decide & with all the back to school & work (I'm a teacher) stuff, extracurricular activities, and finding out my dad needs to have a bypass surgery, helping my mom deal with the drs. & hospital & canceling their planned vacation, to be honest I haven't had the time yet to think about the banquette area. Right now it's on the back-burner [of my soon-to-be installed GE dual fuel slide in ;)] As soon as we decide, I'll post our choice.

Thanks again for your interest.
