Choosing a table base
Tables on box frame and post leg bases, including Impulse boardroom tables with post legs and round tables with box frames. The tops are shared across the range, so the base is the actual decision here.
What each base does to a room
A post leg is a single column, often with a spreader foot. It leaves the maximum clear space underneath, which means more legroom and easier chair movement, and it reads as lighter.
A box frame runs a rectangular frame between the legs. It is more rigid, which matters on larger tops, and reads as more solid and architectural. It also puts a rail where somebody's knees might be, so check the height on a table people sit at for long periods.
Rigidity matters more as tables get bigger
A small round table on a post leg is fine. A long boardroom table on slender posts will flex when somebody leans on the end. If the top is large, the frame is doing real work and a box frame is usually the right call.
