The Eureka Table Base has everything you could want in a base. It is extremely stable, with a large spread, so it will hold a large top. It folds down to 26 inches. You can raise or lower it with a touch of the fingers. If you want it short, a slight pressure on the release and it lowers. Want it tall? Pressure on the release and it goes up. Finished in non-tarnishing bright silver. Very fast set-up and take-down. Equipped with plastic tips, so it won't mar the floor.
