Overhang table frame
How many centimetres the table top protrudes on all sides depends on the size of the table frame. The overhang can be derived from the following sizes:
Length
110 cm – 149 cm table top length = 100 cm cross brace length
150 cm – 240 cm table top length = 135 cm cross brace length
Width
70 cm – 79 cm table top width = 60 cm side frame length
80 cm – 89 cm table top width = 70 cm side frame length
90 cm – 120 cm table top width = 78 cm side frame length
Surface of melamine tops
We guarantee at least one defect-free A-side for melamine tops. Slight impairments in the surface quality of the B-side cannot be ruled out and are not grounds for complaint. Before you mount the board on the table frame, select the preferred board side.

Configure your E2 table
Over time, the E2 has become the standard table for architects, artists, and designers. A simple, but well thought-out steel pipe construction with a table top that pretty much sits loose, a stable and long-lasting work table hen as well as now. With matching accessories, cable and PCs can be mounted with ease, the table height variable changed, or a drawing table created with an angled table top.
Affordable Classic
The E2 design comes from Adam Wieland and is derived from the original design by Egon Eiermann in 1953.
Table made of steel pipes
The timeless steel pipe construction with a distinctive cross strut is a rugged lightweight. Quick assembly and disassembly.
Ergonomic sitting position
With the height adjusters, the E2 table adjusts very easily to a perfect seating or even standing height.
Also as a drawing table
E2 with a diagonal table top? Using the height adjusters, you can transform the E2 into a drawing table.
A table made of steel pipes
The table frame of the E2 series is made of 21.3 mm thick steel pipes. An E2 table frame consists of two side sections and the characteristic cross strut common in this series. Both are screwed together at only four points. Therefore, the table can be put together and taken apart quickly, as well as stored easily. The functional and well thought-out design of the steel pipes ensures stability and, at the same time, a very lightweight table.
With the exception of the chrome versions, the steel pipe frame is powder-coated. The chrome-plated frame is more expensive to make because the steel pipes are immersed in an electrolytic bath during galvanic processing.
The matching table top for the E2 table
The table frame of the E2 series can be combined with a high-quality, natural linoleum tabletop, a solid melamine table top or a robust HPL tabletop. All versions offer you a large selection of different colours. If you opt for a linoleum or HPL tabletop, you can also choose between a straight or bevelled edge and rounded corners.
There are no limits to the configurations here and you can design attractive E2 tables, for example, from a table top with a natural real wood edge and the raw-looking, colourless E2 table frame.
To prevent thinner table tops from sagging, we recommend using table top supporter from a length of approx. 150 cm. This applies in particular to our thin melamine, HPL and linoleum table tops.
Cross strut positioning
The steel pipe construction of the table tops for the E2 table can reliably support a weight of about 50 kg. Generally, is the table top is loosely fitted using the push plugs at the end of the side sections. If you want to make sure the table top on the frame, you can use what is called a top support.
The tubular steel construction of the E2 table can reliably support tabletops weighing up to approx. 50 kg. As a rule, the table top rests loosely on the plugs of the side parts. If you want to screw the table top securely to the frame, you can use so-called top supports.
The E2 table is also suitable as a meeting or dining table. This is made possible by the position of the distinctive cross strut. If you are looking for a group table for meetings or for the break room, we recommend a centrally positioned cross brace. For the classic use of the E2 from one side - i.e. as a work or desk - we recommend the offset cross brace. It allows more legroom.
Good to know: The position of the cross brace cannot be changed at will. Each side section is only provided with holes for one of the two positions.
Height adjustment and ergonomic seats
We offer the E2 table in two heights (approx. 69 cm and 75 cm). The standard frame height is 66 cm or 72 cm. The low original frame height stems from a time when the E2 was used as a drawing table with an angled table top. The height allows you to reach the rear section of the table top better. It's also suitable for smaller people and an ergonomic seating posture.
This is how it works: Create an E2 table with an angled table top.
With height adjusters you can create not only sloping but also straight, ergonomic tables. Depending on your height, choose the starting height that suits you best and increase it to the right height with short or long height adjusters (simply add them in the configurator). Large work tables or standing tables with a height of approx. 98 cm can be achieved with a starting height of 75 cm and long height adjusters.
Short Height Adjusters
- 2.6 cm to 8.8 cm increase in the table
- Height adjustment in 2 cm steps (4 holes 2 cm apart)
Long Height Adjusters
- 4.6 cm to 22.8 cm increase in the table
- Height adjustment in 4 cm steps (5 holes 4 cm apart)
The E2 table for children and young adults
Mounting instruction of the E2 table frame
Regardless of the table height, we offer the cross brace of the E2 table frame in two lengths and the side sections in three lengths.
If you choose a tabletop with a length of up to and including 149 cm, the matching table frame has a length of 100 cm. For a tabletop length between 150 cm and 240 cm, the table frame is 135 cm long. Depending on the specific length of the tabletop, it protrudes more or less at the sides.
The choice of tabletop width is reflected in the size of the side sections of the frame. If you choose a tabletop with a width of up to and including 79 cm, the matching side pieces are 60 cm long. For a tabletop width between 80 cm and 89 cm, the side pieces have a length of 70 cm. Table tops with a width between 90 cm and 120 cm are combined with side pieces of 78 cm in length. Here too - analogous to the length of the table top - the table top sometimes protrudes more, sometimes less.
If you are looking for an E2 table frame for an existing table top, the following information will help you to configure the correct dimensions.
To get the table frame with the desired dimensions, enter a dimension in the configurator that corresponds to your preferred frame size. If, for example, you would like to order a 135 cm long and 70 cm wide table frame, you select a size between 150 - 240 cm long and 80 - 89 cm wide in the configurator. Then all you have to do is click on "None" under "Top" and the E2 table frame is completely configured.
Cross strut
100 cm frame length = 110 cm to 149 cm table top length
135 cm frame length = 150 cm to 240 cm table top length
Sides
60 cm frame width = 70 cm to 79 cm table top width
70 cm frame width = 80 cm to 89 cm table top width
78 cm frame width = 90 cm to 120 cm table top width
If you want to build an E2 drawing table with a slanted table top, there are two possibilities.
Inclined position without fixation
With the first option, you rest the front edge of your tabletop on the horizontal struts of the two side sections. In this way, a slope of 2 degrees is already created. The rear part of the table top rests loosely on height adjusters. They can be used to achieve a tilt of up to 19 degrees.
Inclination with fixation
If you want to fix the tabletop to the table frame instead of resting it on the side pieces, you need mountings for angled tops. The two rear fixings are screwed to the table top and at the same time inserted into the two rear height adjusters (remove plugs beforehand). The front part of the tabletop can rest loosely on the side parts or height adjusters.
Good to know: The inclined position with fixation can only be used with inclined table top mountings. It is not possible to screw the table top with reinforcing top holders, because they do not adapt to the angles.
