Product Description
The FLAT Auto Adjust PX23 is a cast iron dining table base built around the brand's PAD system — a patented hydraulic stabilising mechanism that automatically compensates for uneven or undulating floor surfaces. Rather than relying on manual screw feet, the base self-adjusts whenever it is placed or repositioned, maintaining a level, wobble-free surface without any intervention from staff or customers.
In a busy front-of-house environment, table stability is one of those details that quietly affects the dining experience. Rattling crockery, tilting glasses and uncomfortable seating are common complaints in older venues with flagstone floors, worn wooden boards, or naturally uneven surfaces. The PX23 addresses this directly, and because it re-stabilises automatically on movement, it also simplifies the process of reconfiguring table layouts between covers — useful where tables are regularly pushed together or separated for different party sizes.
The Parisian-style profile suits venues with a European bistro aesthetic, intimate dining rooms, bars, and hotel restaurants where the base will be visible beneath the table top. Practical points to consider:
- Self-stabilising PAD hydraulic system requires no manual adjustment
- Top plate accommodates square tops up to 750mm and round tops up to 800mm
- Cast iron construction provides stable ballast and long-term durability
- At 17kg, the base is substantial — factor this into seating reconfiguration workflows
- Compatible with standard table tops; no proprietary fixing required
The PX23 is well suited to established restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and bars where floor levelness is inconsistent and table stability complaints have been an ongoing issue. It is a single-pedestal base, so it is best matched to two- or four-cover tops within the supported size range. For larger banqueting or conference table applications, a twin-pedestal or trestle solution would typically be more appropriate.
If you are specifying tables across a whole dining room or need guidance on base-to-top combinations for your specific floor type, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The PAD hydraulic mechanism is designed to operate without routine maintenance under normal front-of-house use. It is a sealed unit, so there are no user-serviceable components. If the base is subjected to heavy impacts or damage, we would recommend contacting us to assess whether replacement is the appropriate course of action.
- The top plate is compatible with square tops up to 750mm and round tops up to 800mm. It uses a standard fixing arrangement, so it is generally compatible with most commercial table tops rather than being restricted to a proprietary system. If you are pairing it with an existing top, it is worth confirming the fixing hole pattern before ordering.
- A single-pedestal base works well for two-cover settings and can support four-cover tops within the stated size limits, provided the top itself is appropriately proportioned. For larger or heavier tops, or high-traffic settings where guests regularly lean on table edges, a twin-pedestal arrangement typically provides better stability and is worth considering.
