Investing in a 3 meter (10feet) waterfall river table is more than just a furniture purchase,it’s an investment in a centerpiece that will define your home for decades.
At Mooka, we believe that true luxury lies in the details you can’t see. One of the most frequent questions our clients ask is: "How should the tabletop connect to the legs?" Specifically, should you choose the dramatic Mitered Waterfall or the Split-Base (Top on Base)? Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on these two premium techniques.
1. The Mitered Waterfall: A Continuous Flow
The "Waterfall" edge is the pinnacle of river table design. It creates the illusion that the wood and epoxy resin are literally flowing off the edge of the table and cascading to the floor.
- The Craft: We cut the wood at a precise 45⁰ angle. To ensure this joint remains rock-solid for a lifetime, we use internal reinforcements like domino tenons or hidden L-brackets.
- Best For: Artistic statement pieces and foyer tables where the visual "flow" is the primary focus.
- The Look: Seamless, organic, and breathtaking. It turns a table into a sculptural masterpiece.
2. The Split-Base (Top on Base): Architectural Elegance
For many of our 3-meter 10feet+ grand dining tables, the Split-Base design is the gold standard. In this approach, the massive tabletop sits independently on a custom-crafted base.
- The Craft: We use threaded inserts and dog-bone fastener. This allows the solid wood to "breathe",expanding and contracting naturally with seasonal humidity changes without risking cracks.
- Best For: Large-scale dining tables (3m+,10feet+) and clients who value structural longevity.
- The Look: Modern, architectural, and bold. It highlights the contrast between the natural organic slab and the geometric strength of the base.

At Mooka, we can do more
To ensure long-term stability for oversized pieces (3m+,10ft+), a discrete transparent acrylic support is placed at the center point. This auxiliary leg enhances safety and prevents sagging while remaining virtually invisible to the eye.
