The base is an X rather than four separate legs, so the load spreads evenly to the floor and there is nothing at the corners for a chair to knock into. The pillars are 4 inches thick in natural rubber wood, which is what carries the 250-pound rating on the 44-inch top. Metal connectors tie the joints, rounded corners take the edge off knee height, and protective foot pads keep the base from marking the floor.
