60 inch Round tables are a must-have when hosting any sort of event – whether it be a wedding, a meeting with dinner, a community centre gathering or another special event. Party rental companies, hotels, banquet halls and even churches and community centres know the benefits of having an inventory of 60 inch round folding tables in stock as they are one of the most popular sizes of round table. They fit a generous amount of people (generally 6-8) and allow guests the opportunity to easily socialize given the table shape. Because we supply thousands of companies across Canada with 5ft (60in) round folding tables in both wood and plastic, we recognize the importance of knowing how much to budget for new 5ft round tables. If your organization is in the market to replace your 60 inch round folding tables or are looking to make the switch from renting to owning, one of the first questions you’ll likely ask is "How much does a 60 inch round table cost in Canada?" This post attempts to answer this important question so you can begin your buying process.

60 inch Round Wood Table

The range in pricing for 60 inch round wood tables will depend on how thick the table top is, the type of locking mechanism used to keep the legs erect, the material and thickness of the legs and the type of wood being used. 60 inch round wood folding tables will range in price from $129.95 to $329.95. Keep in mind that companies that sell primarily to commercial organizations will also provide volume discounts with the cost per table decreasing based on the larger number of tables being purchased.

60 inch Round Plastic Table

The range in pricing for 60 inch round plastic tables will depend on how thick the table top is, the type of locking mechanism used to keep the legs erect, as well as the material and thickness of the legs. Because of this, 60 inch round plastic folding tables will range in price from $110.00 to $158.95. As mentioned with 60in round wood folding tables, 60in round plastic folding tables also will have similar volume discounts from commercial focused companies.

Hopefully this post gives you a good idea of the pricing available in the Canadian market for your refreshed 60 inch round table inventory.

The special event industry is made out to be a glamourous lifestyle full of parties but event rental and event venues know that there are times it can be nothing like what outsiders expect. An overlooked and often forgotten drawback is the amount of cleaning and maintenance that needs to go into rental inventory and event venue products to ensure they meet stringent customer needs. One of the worst things to clean on anything – Red Wine. Makes me cringe just thinking about staining something with it. But it is for that very reason that I decided it was time to stain a vinyl Chiavari cushion with the stain of death and then attempt to clean it. Here’s how it all went down.

1. I poured (while cringing) remnants of a red wine bottle onto a white vinyl Chiavari cushion.

2. I then let the wine stay on the cushion for 2 hours

3. I wiped the wine off the cushion and proceeded to let it sit untreated for 2 days

4. I took a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser damp with water to the cushion – this seemed to get the darker small stains out but the larger stains lasting yellow marks on the vinyl.

5. I decided to try another step and gather the following materials: a clean white rag, bleach and the stained cushion

6. I made a solution of ½ cup of bleach with 2 cups of filtered water and put the rag in it to soak

7. Once the rag was fully soaked I wrung it out so it was still wet but not dripping and lay it on the stained vinyl for 1 hr.

8. DING! Once the hour was up I took off the rag, wiped the cushion down and it looked as good as new

It’s no big secret that the event venue space is extremely competitive. In the Greater Toronto Area alone there are over 2000 event venues for event and meeting planners to choose from. Being able to differentiate your venue from the pack and create a memorable site visit helps keep your site top of mind with your target market. A sales & marketing coordinator at a banquet hall posed a question on LinkedIn asking fellow industry professionals what a good giveaway would be besides just the standard portfolio / brochure. Here’s what some of the commenters had to say:

If you have a separate restaurant onsite, a gift card for a free meal or free appetizer / dessert with entrée

A small bag of chocolates or snacks to go – even better are chocolates branded with your logo

A custom USB flash drive is a great way to share a creative presentation with your guests that they can check out later and re-use the drive in the future.

Custom labeled bottled water makes a great giveaway item and promotes your brand or event relatively inexpensively

I think a mug is always a good gift, they're going to go back to the office and leave it on their desk, so when they have an event to plan they'll see it and think of you.

Breath spray or chap-stick with your logo is a good gift

A nice recycled pad and pen.

One Item we have had luck with is a custom printed mouse pads. You can target any promotion you want to. We use it to promote our take home dinner program. Even with the new optical mice you still need to use a pad. We make the message very short and sweet along with the easiest way to contact us.

In thinking more about what event planner’s need, my suggestion is handing out on-the-go phone chargers such as this one. Event planners and meeting organizers are constantly on the go and don’t always have an office / home base to always dock at. Being able to provide this helpful and considerate giveaway may give you the edge you need to win their business.

While not often used for events, 48” round tables can be perfect if you’re wanting a more intimate setting with less people per table for better conversations. We had a prospect come to our site asking how many Chiavari chairs fit at a 48” round table and I thought what better way to answer their question than to blog about it.

In general our resin Chiavari chairs have the following measurements:

Our wood Chiavari chairs have the following dimensions:

Here’s how many resin Chiavari chairs fit around a 48 inch round table:

With ample room and no straddling table legs 4 Chiavari chairs fit around a 48 inch round table.

If you’re looking to fit the maximum amount of people possible at a 48 inch round table with people straddling table legs, 6 resin Chiavari’s are the maximum number that can fit around a 48” table.

Here’s how many wood Chiavari chairs fit around a 48 inch round table:

With ample room and no straddling table legs 4 Chiavari chairs fit around a 48 inch round table.

With no room and people straddling table legs, 6 wood Chiavari’s is the maximum number that can fit around a 48 inch round table.

Hope this helps you visualize how many people can fit in a room with Chiavari chairs around 48 inch round tables.

Party Rental Companies and Banquet Halls often buy more than one colour of fabric chiavari chair cushion so that their customers have different options for their events. What is so great about chiavari chair cushions is the ability for companies to take them off the foam cushion and clean the exterior cover. We’ve heard from some customers that while taking off the cover can be easy, putting the cover back on the cushion is a whole other story. Here’s how to put on a chiavari chair cushion cover after washing/cleaning it.

1. Take foam cushion out of the fabric chiavari cushion cover

2. Put fabric chiavari chair cushion covers in the washing machine 

3. Wrap foam cushion in plastic wrap 

4. Put Chiavari Chair Cushion cover in the dryer

5. Insert foam cushion into dry chiavari chair cushion cover

Where the plastic wrap really shines is after the cushion is in the cover. It is much, much easier to adjust the cover so that the seams and sides line up where they’re supposed to than on a plain foam cushion. The foam grabs the fabric too much without the aid of the plastic wrap.
