What is a sled base?
1 Answer

A sled base, most commonly seen on chairs, is a type of base that provides better weight distribution than a four-legged chair. Modeled after sleds, sled base legs feature a connection between the front and back legs. Shop a selection of vintage and contemporary sled base chairs on 1stDibs.
