Wood Crossback Chairs have been a hot event chair for a couple of years now. They are such an elegant addition to a restaurant or wedding and are ramping up in demand in Canada still. Because they’re often made of wood though, party rental companies are looking for a way to protect their finish when they are being stored. Resin Chiavari Chairs often have an accompanying storage cover so why shouldn’t the cross back chair? Makes perfect sense. Here are three companies that sell a cross back chair storage cover:

Vision Furniture

Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Vision Furniture is a family owned / operated business that specializes in special event chairs. They are a designer, manufacturer, distributor and they also rent their products throughout the Philadelphia area. They have neutral coloured protective chair covers for cross back chairs designed to ensure dust doesn’t get on the chair when stored, are easily put on and taken off, and make sure additional wear and tear doesn’t occur during storage or transport.

StackChairs4Less

Based in Canton, Georgia, StackChairs4Less offers over 5000 products from around the globe. They focus on bringing the most up-to-date trends in the stacking chair industry. They offer a black, tarpaulin material crossback chair cover that is waterproof. It allows the chairs to be stacked with the cover on it and features a 1 year limited warranty.

EventStable

Based in Paso Robles, California, EventStable / Event Furniture Source is a distributor of professional-grade event equipment. They own their own party rental company that use their products every day. Their cross back chair protective cover is made of the same material as chiavari chair covers and available in black.

Candle wax is something that party rental companies that rent out event tablecloths have to deal with on an ongoing basis. Candles and tea/votive lights are an event staple that adds great ambiance to the event – but can be a huge pain to remove – and can potentially stain. We had a customer let us know our spandex cocktail tablecovers had been stained by candle wax so I thought I would test to see whether I could remove the candle wax from spandex tablecovers without staining. Here are the steps I took below:

Here are the items you will need to remove the candle wax:

• A–Paper Towel
• B–Cardboard
• C–Iron with multiple temperature settings
• D–WD-40
• E–Baking Soda
• F–Dawn
• G–Toothbrush

Place the cardboard and a piece of paper towel under the stain between the table and the fabric

Place a piece of paper towel on top of the fabric

Heat iron on low-medium setting and then press the iron on top of the paper towel. The wax will reheat and melt into the paper towel.

Here’s what it will look like after the wax has been melted into the paper towel – like you have an oil stain now.

Squirt WD-40 onto the oil stain. If it is a small amount of candle wax, you may prefer to put a little WD-40 into a bowl and use a q-tip to put WD-40 onto the stain.

Sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda onto the WD-40.

Use the toothbrush to brush the baking soda into the stain. You will notice it clumping as it pulls up the WD-40 into the baking soda. Once it has clumped, discard the used baking soda.

Keep sprinkling on baking soda and brushing it until there are no more clumps.

Put Dawn on the baking soda and use the toothbrush to rub it in. Then let it sit for a bit to pre-treat.

Throw the spandex tablecover with baking soda and dawn into the washing machine with lukewarm water and regular liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low.

Voila! Good as new!

The most common problem that folding cocktail tables have is the spring inside the locking pin will break – making it impossible for the table to be properly locked into a setup position. This causes a stability issue with the tables that rental companies, hotels, banquet halls and golf courses obviously want to avoid. We have the locking cotter pins in stock should this happen to you and have documented in the below post how to go about replacing the locking pin (cotter pin) on your folding cocktail table.

The locking cotter pin is comprised of three parts: the pin itself (A), the spring (B) and the ring (C).

You will need to remove the damaged locking pin by folding up the table and then removing the ring from the pin. This will allow you to slide out the pin with broken spring to the left out of the hole.

Here is what a new pin will look like when you receive it.

In order to install the pin, you need to remove the ring from the pin – similar to removing a key from a keyring.

To install the new cotter pin, slide the spring and pin into the hole of the folding cocktail table. The spring should be between the hole and pin with the pin’s eye on the right.

To get it working properly, you need to push and use your strength to hold the pin + spring in so that the pin’s eye is showing on the right side of the leg.

From here, you will put the ring on through the eye. I just put it on a little bit so the cotter pin wouldn’t shoot out to the left.

This allowed me to use both hands to put the ring fully on.

There you have it – a fully locking cotter pin for your folding cocktail table.

We recently announced that we have plexiglass bars, end tables, cocktail tables and coffee tables available for special order. The contemporary event furniture are a great event rental for corporate events or modern special events that want lounge furniture settings scattered around the venue.

DJ’s also like them as a DJ Booth and bartenders like to use them for a bar by using the 6-ft Chrome Plexiglass bar with shelf as the bar to stand behind and the 6.5 FT Chrome Bar Back Shelving with White Plexiglass behind the bar for stocking liquors, glasses, etc.

We recently had a customer ask how sturdy the shelf was in the 6-ft chrome plexiglass bar with shelf.

They wanted to make sure that a lot could be stacked on the shelf without it breaking. Very good question. I took the liberty of taking a bunch of pictures lying flat on the ground looking up underneath the bar and shelf so customers and prospects could get a better idea what the support system looked like. Here’s what is supporting the shelf and top of the bar underneath:

As you can see it has quite a good support system – with chrome supports every 10.5 inches. The shelf itself measures in at 1/4 inch thick as well – providing a good solid foundation less prone to bending.

Skirting clips are a necessary evil for event venues, hotels, golf clubs and party rental customers looking to cover their tables with table skirting.
