  • What is your TROUT powder coat finish about?
    modsiLver is proud to introduce our new unique powder coat process/finish - TROUT. Why limit paint or powder coat to solid colors only? TROUT CLEAR puts a magnifying glass to the natural beauty of US made steel. We utilize a specialized phosphate wash and then apply a durable clear powder coat finish that will make your table bases come to life. There are 4 TROUT powder coating options: TROUT Gloss Light TROUT Gloss Dark TROUT Matte Light TROUT Matte Dark The most popular TROUT finish is TROUT Matte Light, but each finish has its very own unique look and feel.
  • What products do you offer in TROUT powder coat finish?
    TROUT lends itself nicely to our Industrial Collection like modLine Industrial H-bases and modLine V-bases. These are our best sellers in TROUT. Our modLine Low Profile T, C, and X-bases are also gaining steam and catching some attention. Low Profile disc bases are also a great product for TROUT as we can show off tons of surface area for a very natural and retro style.
  • What’s the difference between table legs and table bases?
    Table legs are commonly referred to as straight legs or post legs. Table legs are simple tubular uprights, like our 2-inch round and square legs, which are usually packaged 4 per box. A single table leg can be used to hold a peninsula top. Sets of 4 table legs will hold round, rectangle, and square tables. Table bases are formed from a combination of horizontal and vertical steel tubes welded together. Our most common table bases are T-bases, C-bases, H-bases, O-bases, A-bases, and U-bases. Packed in sets of 2, they are utilized most on rectangular work surfaces or tops. Our X-bases for round and square tables are packaged individually.
  • What sets modsiLver apart from other table leg and table base providers?
    modsiLver strategically stocks large quantities of extremely well priced, imported table legs and bases. We also manufacture custom table legs and table bases faster than the rest at a fair price. We offer our customers their choice of in stock or custom made table legs and bases - or both! Our large inventory, flexibility, and willingness to provide our customers the exact product they need quickly and on demand makes us a winning choice.

    modsiLver lead times vary based on product. We stock over 10,000 metal table bases and metal table legs for same day shipping. We also manufacture table legs and bases extremely fast. Some metal legs and bases can be manufactured and shipped the same day. Other legs are custom manufactured metal table bases and table legs. These can be fabricated and shipped within 2-3 weeks.
  • What is your standard lead time on custom table legs?
    Our lead time is quicker than that of most companies. Larger orders may require 10 business days to fill, but we are here to impress and often turn orders around in less than 5 days’ time. Give us a call and let us know your needs and challenges. We'll work hard to meet and exceed them.

  • What makes modsiLver’s modLine Collection different?
    Our modLine Collection is cool because of its square and rectangular profile tubing. modLine’s table legs and table bases create extremely affordable desks or benching options. The 1020MODS 2” square straight leg with corner top plate application is very versatile. The modLine O, A, and U-bases are stocked for 24” and 30” tops every day. We also manufacture any width or height modLine table base in house with great efficiency. We offer cross bars that attach to modLine table bases to eliminate lateral sway and provide anti-sag stability as well. We can customize a modLine benching table base to fit your needs or style with ease.
  • Do you offer bar height or standing height versions of your legs and bases?
    Yes, we stock bar height or standing height bases in most legs, T-bases, H-bases, X-bases, and cast iron bases. If we don't have the item you need stocked in bar height, we can manufacture it quickly and tackle the project efficiently.
  • Do you stock any bar height bases and legs?
    Yes, we offer a full selection of in stock round tubular legs. Also in stock are 2" round, 3" round, 24" and 30" T-bases and H-bases, and all sizes of X-bases for same day shipping in bar or standing height. We also manufacture any style base in 34.75" height so that, with the addition of a top, they reach 36" counter height.

    Our modLine O-base is our flagship for benching applications. We offer this base in widths from 18" to 60". It’s quite versatile. Our modLine A-base and modLine U-base are also great options for benching. We suggest adding cross bars to eliminate lateral sway in some applications. Our 2" modLine square straight leg makes a great benching choice as well.
  • Do you offer crossbars to connect some table bases?
    Yes, we can add round crossbars to our tubular T, C, and H-bases to eliminate lateral sway. We also use square tubing to connect our modLine bases and benching systems. We highly recommend adding crossbars on bar height tables. They are reasonably priced for the stability they provide.
  • Are your table legs fully welded or sold KD?
    All modsiLver table bases are fully welded, with the exception of our X-bases. You'll find the fully welded bases to be maintenance free and the best overall value for non X-base applications.
  • Do you have caster models available?
    modsiLver stocks caster models in post legs, T-bases, C-bases, H-bases, and X-bases. Many other models can be cut down or modified for the additional height that casters add. We can often modify and ship the same day.
  • Do you offer any disc bases in cast iron and or flat solid steel?
    Yes, modsiLver stocks cast iron table bases for the hospitality market. The heavy bottom and textured finish of cast iron will always have a place in restaurant and break-room settings. We powder coat them in black because powder coating cast iron can be risky due to the textured finish, but we're always open to custom options.

    Yes, modsiLver stocks flip-and-roll table bases in Platinum/Silver for same day shipping. We offer three styles: the 2460 with 2” black casters, the 5060 with cool 3” white casters, and our new 7060EXTREME with brushed aluminum accents and full nesting capabilities.
