The FLAT Auto Adjust ST22 is an aluminium flip top table base designed for commercial dining environments where efficient use of space and stable, level tables are both priorities. The flip top mechanism allows the table top to fold down flat against the base column, making it straightforward to stack and store multiple tables when floor space needs to be cleared quickly — useful for venues that regularly reconfigure their dining areas for events, private hire or cleaning.Where the ST22 sets itself apart from a standard fixed base is its PAD system — a patented hydraulic self-stabilising mechanism built into the foot. On uneven or slightly bumpy floor surfaces, which are common in older buildings, outdoor terraces and covered external spaces, the base automatically adjusts to maintain a level, wobble-free table without any manual intervention from staff. This is a meaningful operational advantage in busy service periods, where a shaky table is a recurring complaint that takes time to address and disrupts the customer experience.The base is well suited to rectangular table tops and is lightweight enough at 7kg for front-of-house staff to manage without difficulty during room resets. Flip top mechanism speeds up room resets and table storage Self-stabilising foot removes the need for wedges or manual adjustment Lightweight aluminium construction reduces handling effort during reconfiguration Suitable for indoor and outdoor use including uneven surfaces Black finish works across a range of dining room styles and colour schemes This base is a practical choice for restaurants, bars, hotels and event spaces that need reliable, easy-to-manage seating at volume.
