Folding Tables

How to choose the right Folding Tables

• Measure your room and storage areas to select table lengths, widths and shapes that fit your layout and fire routes.
• Choose polypropylene or HDPE tops for general dining and events, and stainless steel folding tables for food prep and back-of-house use.
• Match table height and footprint to your seating, ensuring comfortable legroom and efficient capacity for guests.
• Consider whether you need indoor-only tables or weather-resistant options for terraces, gardens and outdoor functions.
• Plan for how often tables will be moved; frequent changeovers benefit from lighter models with easy-grip handles.
• Coordinate finishes such as white, black, rattan or wood-effect with your existing chairs, linens and venue style.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe down tops after each service with a mild detergent or food-safe sanitiser, paying attention to edges and corners.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch polypropylene, HDPE or stainless steel surfaces.
• Inspect folding legs, hinges and locking mechanisms regularly and tighten loose fixings for safe, stable use.
• Store tables folded and stacked evenly on trolleys or against a wall to prevent warping and accidental damage.
• For outdoor use, clean off dirt and moisture before storage to reduce staining and corrosion on frames.
• Check rubber feet and caps periodically and replace worn parts to protect floors and maintain grip.
