Conical Aluminum Table Pedestal (Anodized Table Leg – 60 cm & 70 cm)

The Conical Aluminum Table Pedestal is the ideal solution for boat owners seeking a combination of strength, light weight, and modern aesthetics for their table support. Fabricated from high-quality anodized aluminum, this pedestal leg is specifically designed to withstand the marine environment – it won’t corrode or discolor even in humid, salty air, and it will not add unnecessary weight to your vessel. The anodization process hardens the surface, giving it a protective oxide layer that resists scratches and corrosion, which is particularly important for an item that may see foot traffic or salt spray.

What sets this pedestal apart is its sleek conical shape. Unlike straight tube legs, the conical design features a broader base that tapers towards the top. This provides a wider footprint where the leg meets the deck for stability, and a slimmer profile where it attaches to the table, creating more legroom and a clean look. The result is a very sturdy support with a touch of elegance – your table will be firmly braced, with less wobble even in choppy conditions, all while looking polished and contemporary. It’s a style that complements modern boat interiors and deck areas, and because it’s aluminum, it coordinates well with other aluminum fixtures and trim (like window frames, helm stations, etc.).

The pedestal comes in two lengths: 60 cm (approximately 23.6 inches) and 70 cm (27.6 inches). This flexibility allows you to choose the height that best suits your application. For example, the 60 cm leg might be ideal for a standard dinette table in a salon or a cockpit coffee table, while the 70 cm leg could suit a taller dining table or a navigational desk setup. Both options have the same conical profile and diameter fitting ends. If needed, you can even use one of each height to have interchangeable setups (some boaters have multiple table tops or convertible dinette/bunk setups and appreciate having two leg lengths).

Installation is straightforward. The cone pipe pedestal is designed to fit into common base hardware: typically, you would have a recessed floor base or a surface-mounted base on the deck, and a recessed cup or bracket under the table top. The bottom of this pedestal leg is usually a cone-shaped insert or standard diameter post that drops into the floor base (and often twists to lock), while the top of the leg slots into the table’s underside mount. (Note: Be sure to verify the diameter – this pedestal is often a standard diameter that matches many marine table hardware sets, but adapter sleeves are available if needed.) Once in place, the leg provides a rigid support for the table. Many boaters love that this leg can be removed quickly when the table needs to be stowed or converted (for instance, converting a dinette into a bed – simply lift out the table and leg). Because it’s aluminum, the leg is easy to handle and won’t rust and seize into the base.

Maintenance is virtually maintenance-free. The anodized finish means you won’t need to paint or frequently polish it. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth or mild soapy water will keep it shiny. It’s also worth noting that aluminum stays relatively cool to the touch even in hot sun, unlike steel, which can heat up – a small but nice benefit if the pedestal is in an exposed cockpit. Additionally, the leg’s ends typically have plastic caps or liners (to interface with the base and tabletop hardware) which prevent metal-on-metal sticking and ensure a snug fit without rattles.

Whether you are refitting an older boat’s table or installing a new one, this conical aluminum pedestal leg provides a reliable, stylish upgrade. It adheres to the adage of "shipshape" design – it’s secure and functional when installed, and minimal and efficient when removed. With this pedestal, your boat’s table will have the support it needs to remain steady, and the look to match the refined finishes of your vessel’s interior.
