Meet Gordo – Our Biggest Variable Height Table
If you imagine crossing Atticus Finch with Vito Corleone, you start to get a feel for our largest variable height table. Simply put, Gordo has presence and charisma like no piece of furniture you’ve ever met.
Our 4 x 6 multi-use table is the strong, silent type. Whatever job you need done, Gordo doesn’t just stand around. This table adjusts with swiftness and precision to offer a spacious surface at just the right height for everything from a conference table to dining to crafting.

1. Multi-Height Conference Table
Get more work done at every meeting with Gordo’s imposing presence and steady support. Adapt your conference table to your needs and see a surge in engagement and innovation.
Health Benefits of a Variable Height Conference Table
Sitting for hours at a time causes your mind and your body to stagnate. Being sedentary raises your risk of cardiovascular disease, weight gain, back and neck pain and more. If sitting is the new smoking, it’s time to quit. Sit-stand desks are becoming a popular solution because they allow workers to escape the confines of a chair and move more throughout the day.
Gordo shakes things up at work by providing a variable height conference table that brings more movement and better circulation to your entire team. Here’s what research indicates is possible when you break up long periods of sitting with standing:
Reduce back pain by up to 32 percent
Improve fatigue and reduce musculoskeletal discomfort
Boost mood and reduce depression risk
Adapt to Every Occasion
Whatever business is at hand, Gordo sets the tone. For your daily scrum, brainstorming session or other short meetings, use the chrome-plated cast-iron hand crank to raise your adjustable height table to standing height.
Get ample space and support for laptops, blueprints, prototypes and other materials. When meeting attendees arrive Gordo silently sends a visual signal they’ll need to stay on their toes. For longer meetings, lower your variable height conference table to utilize the same spacious surface in seated comfort. Add your corporate nameplate so everyone knows who the boss is.
Gordo is adaptable, just as comfortable with office party food service as for use as a heavy-duty work surface. Gordo’s vintage industrial charm projects a traditional, dependable vibe, but this table is more than just a pretty face.
Our variable height table is rock-solid support under pressure, capable of supporting the weight of a big block Chevy engine. If you need heavy lifting at the office, Gordo has your back.

4. Invite Gordo to Your Quilting and Scrapbooking Party
Every party can use a strong back and a good listener. Gordo is both. While you might originally purchase a variable height table for working and dining, you’ll love how much easier owning one makes crafting. Customers say these characteristics make Gordo the best variable height table for crafting:
Spacious Work Surface
Keep your rotary cutter, ruler, seam ripper, scissors, marking tools and other supplies at the perfect height. Spread out what you need and still have plenty of room for your project.
Mobile Craft Space
Roll your project to the center of your space while you’re working so you can access it from all angles. Then when you’re through, move it out of the way until you’re ready to start again.
Adjustable Height
When your project has a large format, you need to move frequently to reach tools and work in different areas. That’s easier and less tiring with a counter height table that allows you to stand. Then, when you’re going to be stationary a while, lower your surface with smooth turns of the hand crank so you can sit comfortably.
Inspiring Design
This vintage industrial table has a charismatic presence that inspires creativity. It’s also a conversation starter when you’re working with a group.
5. Adjustable Retail Display Table
For retailers, Gordo attracts customers and focuses their attention on your products and services. The right variable height table for retail display serves a range of functions:
Lure customers from window shopping to in-store browsing. Gordo is brawny enough for large merchandise displays that really make an impact.
Announce sales or promote new products by elevating them above other retail display tables.
Safeguard breakables by displaying them where adults can see them while keeping them out of reach for curious little fingers.
Offer ongoing novelty. Change display height and position effortlessly as often as you choose.

6. Variable Height Table for Your Trade Show Display
How can you make sure your brand gets noticed on a crowded trade show floor? When you have seconds to make an impression and you’re surrounded by your competitors, count on Gordo’s magnetic ability to draw eyes and win hearts.
A variable height table is best for expos and trade shows because attendees are on their feet. They’re milling through a sea of vendors all vying for their attention. When you place products and materials at eye level, automatically you stand above everyone else sitting behind economy folding tables.
Your variable height table isn’t just for merchandise display. If you offer refreshments to draw attendees to your booth, Gordo’s 4 x 6 surface offers plenty of room for upscale snacking. When you need a conference table to sit down and close the deal, Gordo projects the stability and trustworthiness characteristic of your brand.

7. Best Adjustable Height Drafting Table
Architectural or engineering drafting, mechanical drawing and other types of drafting can be a lonely job that keeps you at your desk for hours at a stretch, but Gordo is a companionable helper. Here’s why it’s the best large variable height table for drafting:
Sturdy Base
A table that wobbles when you raise it to counter height is worthless for drafting. Gordo’s steel frame is rock solid at any height.
Large Table Top Size
Drafting frequently requires you to view connected documents. It’s best to choose a work surface that allows you to open bound blueprints and rest the entire set on the table. Gordo supports your hard work with ample area for books and reference materials in addition to your drawings.
Style
Your work space should reflect your personality. With our vintage industrial table, choose hand cranks in custom colors and table tops from any material you prefer.
8. Assembly and Fabrication Table
Gordo maximizes output for custom design, prototyping, manufacturing and assembly. A height adjustable workbench provides an ergonomic workstation for whatever you create, even if your needs change over time.
Gordo has a high load capacity for heavy materials. Casters lock in place to keep work stable and unlock just as easily to roll projects to another location. You no longer need two separate tables for seating and standing tasks.
When you eliminate reaching, stooping and straining you reduce the risk of injuries and chronic pain. Plus, when work is easy to reach there’s less breakage and more efficiency.

9. Meditation Table
Gordo offers silent support and becomes an adaptable personal space for mindfulness, meditation and emotional recharging. We use tables to visually designate spaces for eating and working, so it makes good sense to also use one for relaxing and going within.
A multi-height meditation table creates a personal sanctuary for journaling, becoming inspired and releasing what no longer serves you. Surround yourself with what’s sacred, significant and uplifting. Customize your meditation table to create a space that’s uniquely you and that encourages you to regularly practice mindfulness.
10. Variable Height Table for Banquets
Wedding venues, hotels, restaurants, churches and other facilities serve food regularly to guests. Both functionality and presentation are essential for banquet tables. Our 4 x 6 variable height table is perfect for banquets for a number of reasons.
Straight tables work for both family style seating and formal occasions. Gordo’s rustic industrial aesthetic looks good in any setting.
While Gordo is anything but standard, the rectangular 4 x 6 tabletop is easy to find tablecloths for, and it comfortably seats six to eight guests.
Standard banquet tables are 30” wide, which is too narrow for anything but food. Gordo’s 4’ width has room to spare for centerpieces, florals, glassware, family-style platters and diners.
A rectangular banquet table provides pleasing angles and symmetry for photos. It also looks stunning under hanging displays or inside long, narrow venue spaces like tents and barns.
A variable height table lets you focus attention where it should be, on the wedding party, event speaker, award recipients or honored guests.
The hand crank adjustable table is as useful before and after events as it is during. Raise it to just the right level to prepare florals and other decorations or to break down displays when the banquet ends.
