Table frames are the structural base of a table, carrying the tabletop and maintaining stability and strength. They may be constructed from wood, metal, or engineered composites, based on the intended purpose and design vision. Well-made frames will evenly distribute weight and avoid wobbling or tipping. Both in homes and institutions like schools or workplaces, table frames tend to be made for longevity, simplicity in assembly, and versatility with many surface materials. Contemporary frames also tend to have adjustable elements or modular parts for greater versatility.
