The width of this metal table base is measured from the widest ends, from one end, to the opposite end. In other words, if you were to draw a circle around the base with the 4 widest points touching the circle, the width would be measured from the diameter of the circle.
It is important to note that square tops are measured from their flats, but the width of the base would be oriented in the diagonal or corner-to-corner direction of the square top, which will have a larger measurement than the length of the sides of the top. A little bit of math using the Pythagorean Theorem (is usually necessary to properly size one of these metal table bases with a square top.
