Appetizer spoons will vary in cost depending on a few factors – shipping, volume (i.e. how many you are ordering), and the material of the product. Appetizer spoons can either be porcelain in material or melamine. I've seen both and it's really a matter of personal preference as both are safe for food use. Melamine will naturally be slightly less weight than porcelain but porcelain can hold food at a cold or hot temperature for longer periods. Porcelain appetizer spoons range in cost from $0.60 to $3.82 each without taxes or shipping. Melamine appetizer spoons range in cost from $0.73 to $2.22 each spoon without taxes or shipping.

Shipping for either porcelain or melamine appetizer spoons would be fairly minimal. As an example, shipping 50 wonton spoons from Toronto, ON to Vancouver, BC would add less than $0.50 per spoon for shipping.

Our Pearl White Dinnerware line has always been our lowest priced white dinnerware line but we weren't completely happy with the consistency and quality our manufacturer was producing. For those who are new to this blog or our company, consistency of the product and quality of the product is something we constantly strive for. Some would say we can be a little fanatic about it – stress testing our folding tables and event chairs to ensure they are a high quality.

Our customers are some of the biggest and most well-known party rental companies in Canada so we understand the need for porcelain plates that the rental customer will be happy with while also holding up over time allowing for a recoup and potential profit on a rental company's initial investment. But our original manufacturer of Pearl White Dinnerware wasn't holding up to our standards of quality – so we went looking for another manufacturer that could meet them.

I'm pleased to announce we've found another manufacturer that, based on our due diligence, should allow us to offer Pearl White dinnerware to our customers without the flaws that existed previously. What our customers should expect moving forwards is a great value, low cost dinnerware line that allows them to offer their customers white dinnerware to rent for their events.

And I’m also pleased to announce that we’re back in stock on all of the Pearl White Dinnerware set:

• 10.25" white round dinner plates – Wholesale Price: $1.80 each
• 9" white round salad plates – Wholesale Price: $1.15 each

While I’d like to say our NES Folding Pedestal Table is really easy to assemble and disassemble – if you’ve never done it before it can take a few scratches of your head before you figure it out. I thought because it took me a couple fumbling embarrassing seconds to figure it out I would write a how to post to talk through how to assemble a folding pedestal table.

What an unassembled Folding Pedestal Table will look like in box

Step 1:

Remove table top from on top of base and identify which two tabletop clips have sides and which two clips has one side missing

Step 2:

Identify which two pedestal legs do not move and remain stationary.

Step 3:

Line the two clips with sides on top of the two pedestal legs that do not move.

Step 4:

Press down on each side of the tabletop on top of each leg until each leg snaps into the clip.

Step 5:

Taking one of the legs that moves, slide the leg towards the clip with no sides and press the leg firmly into the clip.

Step 6:

Take the last leg and slide the leg toward the clip with no sides, pressing the leg firmly into the clip.

Voila. Your Folding Pedestal Table is now assembled!

Adjustable Height Folding Tables are a great addition to any event – to create bars, standing registration desks or more. Having the height capacity anywhere from 30" (standard table height) all the way to 43" makes them a valuable table to have in inventory as they can do two jobs for the price of one. One of the questions we get asked often is "How much does an adjustable height folding table cost?"

This blog post will help to answer that question.

Price of Adjustable Height Folding Table

The price of an adjustable height folding table varies based on length of table (industry standard is 4ft or 6ft lengths), material of the table, brand of the table and table leg specifications. For the purpose of this post we will be looking at a 6ft x 30" adjustable height table in plastic. In Canada, 6ft x 30" adjustable height folding tables range from $74.00 – $129.00 excluding taxes and shipping. This range is based on whether it’s a wholesale or retail price of table being purchased.

Shipping costs of Adjustable Height Tables

With the busyness that comes with the event industry, there are times when you either don't have the time or physically can't pick up the tables from a warehouse or store – foregoing the free shipping option. If a store pick up isn’t an option, shipping costs would range based on the number of tables you are ordering. Because tables are most often shipped on skids instead of in individual packages (to prevent damages mid-transit) shipping costs are charged on the weight of the total shipment. For example, 10 adjustable height folding tables shipping from our warehouse in Mississauga, ON to Moncton, NB you’d be looking at $10.06 or less per table in shipping charges.

Hopefully this blog post gives you a range required to start planning what budget you can allocate to adjustable height folding tables.

You will notice before purchasing our NES Wood Cruiser Tables that this product does require some assembly. What does some assembly mean in this case? To find out, this blog post will walk you through the assembly of an NES Wood Cruiser Table (Hint: There is very little assembly required!). These steps can be replicated on any size pole height and any size table top we own.

What you should receive:

• (1x) Wood Table Top (24", 30" or 36")
• (1x) Pole (30" tall or 42" tall)
• (1x) Table Base (includes 4 screw in adjustable cruiser table feet)
• (1x) Connector
• (6x) Screws

Tools Required (not included):

• Phillips Screwdriver
• Tape measure
• Pencil

Step 1:

First, using your measuring tape, measure across the bottom of the table tabletop (the bottom is not clear coated). With the pencil make a mark in the center of the table.

Step 2:

Turn the tape measure 90 degrees and mark the half-way point again. These points are not likely to line up perfectly but this will give you the approximate center of your table.

Step 3:

Take your connector and place it so the center of the connector is over the two center marks that you made in step 1 and step 2.

Step 4:

Screw the connector onto the bottom of the table, hold the connector firmly in place to prevent any movement. We also recommend that you start all of the screws before tightening them down.

Step 5:

Place the pole on the table base, note that the side with two slots cut into the pole should be pointing up.

Step 6:

Place the table top and connector onto the pole; rotate the top until the connector slides into the slots on the pole.

Step 7:

Use and enjoy your fully assembled cocktail table! You will also note that it can be easily broken down into three pieces for easy transportation (Pole, Base, Top with connector attached).
