I have my own top that I would like to use. Is that an option?

Yes. The shopping cart offers a "Without Top" option with a reduced price. For secure fit a base 4 9/16" square and 1/2" thick should be attached to the underside of your top. Clips are also recommended.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

What is a "personal table"?

The Mya is a lot of things to a lot of people. It is an individual beverage holder when a coffee table is not accessible. It is a pedestal for sculpture, vases or other pieces of art. It is a plant stand or speaker stand or the catch all table for mail or keys.
To Top

How do I decide what height table I need?

If your Mya is for beverages, take a coffee mug and sit down in the seat the Mya might be near. Hold the mug at a height you feel would be comfortable for that seat and measure from the bottom of the cup to the floor. For plant stand and museum pedestals, measure from the floor to the height you would like the focal piece to be displayed.

Can I have a table with a custom height?

We can easily modify both the "I" and "L" series tables to accommodate almost any height up to 48" without risking instability. These changes would require custom pricing, which we would be happy to provide. The J-Series Mya tables cannot be customized except in quantities over 25 units. If you have a special design in mind that you don't see on our website or in our catalog, we can custom build a table to your liking. Call our Customer Service department for more information at 877-4-ABSTRACTA.

What is the body of the table made of?

We build each table from steel tubing and zinc connectors. We finish it with an exterior grade powder coat, which is water & weather resistant. While your Mya table is ideal for outdoor use, it may show signs of rust when exposed to the elements for extended periods of time. We recommend bringing it indoors in damp conditions.
To Top

What about tabletops? Are there different types of wood and finish available? What different materials?

We finish all of our standard wood tops with a gloss polyurethane coating which provides some protection from moisture. We are happy to provide custom wood species and finishes. The exotic wood tops are finished with a teak oil that includes UV inhibitors to help protect the top against advanced fading and weathering.
We are also happy to custom order other acrylics and glass tabletops. The Mya is your personal table and we want you to make it your own. Custom orders do require additional charges and processing time. Please call Customer Service at 877-4-ABSTRACTA for additional information.

What types of tiles are available?

We stock two tiles from Italy: Terra Cotta and Rialto Beige.
To Top

What is the size and thickness of the Mya tabletops?

The J-Series, L-Series and I-Series wood top is 5 3/4" square by 3/4" thick with 1/4" exposed. Tile tops are 5 3/4" square by 7/8" thick with 3/8" exposed. Tile tops have 1/2" blocks attached for secure fit. Acrylic tops are 1/4" thick with 4 clear bumpers attached.
To Top

What type of finish for the table (not top) is available and is it weather resistant?

The Mya is available in either matte black or gloss silver powder coat. We coat each table with an exterior grade powder coating to protect it from fading and rusting, making it weather resistant. However, we do recommend that you bring your Mya indoors when not in use, or during damp weather.
We are happy to provide custom frame colors. Like all custom work, custom colors are subject to additional charges and production time.
To Top

Can the tables be ordered without the powder coating? Can I spray paint it?

We recommend ordering a special custom powder coat table if a specific color is needed. The exterior-rated coating is "cured" onto the steel and is designed to last a lifetime. Spray painting with an outdoor product can achieve a similar look but the application can leave the finish uneven and will not be guaranteed by the manufacturer. We do have a limited supply of tables that have not been coated. The price would be the same as a coated table. Please contact Customer Service at (877) 4ABSTRACTA for more information.

How are the tops held into place?

Each wood and tile tabletop on the J, I and L-Series tables feature small turn buttons to hold them into the frame. Acrylic tops are prevented from side horizontal motion by 4 clear "bumpers" attached to the top. Acrylic tops are not secured against vertical movement and are not attached.
To Top

Are any accessories available?

Yes. Small round glass shelves are available as a lower shelf for the J - Series Mya tables. Ash urns are also available for the J-Series, L-Series and I-Series tables. Any of the wood, tile or acrylic tops for the J-Series, L-Series and I-Series tables are also interchangeable.
To Top

How much weight will the Mya tables withstand?

The tables will hold up to 40 pounds of weight. Just right for a small sculpture, a potted plant, or a medium-sized stereo speaker, not to mention a coffee cup.

Are any discounts available for large quantities?

Yes, for orders of 25 units or more, we do have a discount program. Please call for more information.

What is "Abstracta"?

Abstracta is a complete "system" of structural components that is known by furniture and display designers for its uniquely simple and elegant look and for its strength and ease of assembly. Possible configurations range from the most complicated space frame and multi-level displays to the simplest forms of single cubes, as shown within the Cube Table online store.
We invite you to also visit our main Abstracta site, www.abstracta.com, for a more complete understanding of all that is possible. Please know that two of the Abstracta online store sites offer completely assembled, ready-to-use furniture: www.4mya.com and www.abstractafurniture.com, while the Abstracta Fixtures site offers kits of parts with assembly instructions.
The many awards granted to Abstracta include a Gold Medal in Brussels for International Design and The ID Classics Prize in 1992 by the Danish Design Centre. In the words of one of the Industrial Design "Classics" judges, the "...Abstracta System is, both technically and visually, the minimal construction a space framework should be... It can hardly be done more simply, either technically or visually... A design so simple and natural that it is almost not a design. A design classic in the full meaning of the word."

What are Abstracta Cube Tables?

The Cube Table line is comprised of fully assembled, ready-to-use furniture and depending on style, may be shown offered with glass or wood tops. The Cube Table line is sleek and simple in design and contemporary as well as possessing a "retro" look to the classic 60's modern style.

What material is the table frame?

We build each table from steel tubing and zinc connectors. The tables shown are all manufactured with 13mm (1/2") diameter steel tube. A 19mm (3/4") system is also available by customer order.
