WOW! nice pics of a wheel! I might do a little redesigning. but actually this wheel does have the post and it is above the table. It is very close to the table like in the second picture you supplied. Plus the render above is a "no shadows" render since the stuff is in the patio. It would require special lighting to render it inside the patio and the shadows would then make it obvious that it is slightly above the table surface. Thank you Dialyn Billy
