What are ADA Compliant Table Bases?
TableLegs Online now offers ADA compliant table bases. But what is the ADA and what does it have to do with table bases? Don't worry, it's not complicated.
What is the ADA?
ADA compliant table bases follow the standards of the Americans with Disability Act. This act is the "Federal civil rights law that prohibits the exclusion of people with disabilities from everyday activities such as buying an item at the store, watching a movie in a theater, enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, exercising at the local health club or having the car serviced at a local garage". This means that these places and services must have table bases that follow the regulations of the ADA. An example of a table that follows ADA requirements is shown below.
Each of the ADA requirements for table bases is important. The minimum table height ensures that people who use wheelchairs can fit their wheelchair comfortably under the table. The knee clearance requirements make sure that people will have enough room to spread their legs. Finally, the floor area requirement assures that the table area will provide enough space and not feel cramped. It's easy to meet these requirements and creates a comfortable environment for all customers.
