Did You Know: Our Frame Bases are Built for Bigger Tables? blog feature imageWhen a project calls for larger work surfaces, you need a table base that’s built to handle the load. That’s exactly what we designed our frame bases to do. While each frame has its own style and features, they all share the same goal: providing a durable, dependable foundation for larger tabletops in corporate, education, hospitality, and healthcare collaborative environments.

Over the years, Valley Design has continued to evolve the frame bases to meet the changing needs of modern spaces. From classrooms and training rooms to collaborative offices and gathering areas, each frame offers a unique combination of strength, flexibility, and design versatility to support a wide range of applications.

H-Frame

Frame Series H-Frame

The original H-Frame made its debut in the 1998-99 Valley Design price book and quickly became a go-to solution for larger work surfaces. The H-Frame is engineered with an all-welded 14-gauge steel frame, welded mounting plate, and dual stretcher bars to minimize flex and provide exceptional stability.

Available in sizes that support tabletops from 36″ to 60″ wide and up to 96″ long, the H-Frame continues to be a trusted choice for demanding environments where dependable performance matters.

O-Frame

Frame Series O-Frame

Valley Design introduced the O-Frame in 2016, bringing a more modern aesthetic to the Frame Series while maintaining the rugged construction customers expect. The frame uses 1″ × 2″ rectangular 14-gauge steel tubing, an all-welded design, and 6″ welded mounting tabs to create a clean, minimalist look without sacrificing performance.

Supporting tops from 20″ to 48″ wide and up to 90″ long, the O-Frame provides a sleek solution for today’s collaborative workspaces where form and function need to work together. 

Parsons Frame

Parsons Frame

The Parsons Frame joined our product catalog in 2019, adding a new level of flexibility to Valley Design’s lineup. Its patented interlocking square-tube design allows the frame to be configured into a variety of tabletop sizes, making it easier to create solutions that fit different spaces and applications.

Built with 2½” × 2½” square tubing and available in standard and bar heights, the Parsons Frame supports tabletops ranging from 24″ × 24″ up to 48″ × 72″. The knock-down design simplifies transportation and installation, making it a popular option for offices, meeting spaces, and educational environments.

Parsons 2.0

Parsons 2.0 Frame

Building on the success of the original Parsons Frame, Valley Design introduced the Parsons 2.0 Frame in 2023 with an updated design focused on versatility, durability, and a cleaner appearance. The redesigned frame features slimmer 2″ square tubing while maintaining strength through all-welded end frames.

Tested to support up to 600 pounds, Parsons 2.0 offers optional stretchers; standard, counter, and bar heights; along with heavy-duty 3½” locking industrial casters for added mobility. The welded end frames also simplify installation and provide greater flexibility for today’s evolving workspaces.

The Foundation for Collaboration

From the H-Frame to the Parsons 2.0, every frame base reflects our focus on thoughtful engineering and dependable performance. Each design combines strength, flexibility, and functionality to support the way people work, learn, and collaborate today.

Whether you’re furnishing a classroom, conference room, maker-space, or collaborative office, our frame bases provide the reliable foundation needed to support larger work surfaces for years to come.
