Over the past several years we have been making videos where we stress tables and chairs to the breaking point. We've tested many different tables including our 6-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table, 8-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table, 60 inch NES Reliable Round Plastic Folding Table, and even the 6-ft Lifetime Commercial Plastic Folding Table. This year we are continuing our tests to help show you the strength of our products as compared to industry leaders like Lifetime Products.

Today we're going to be putting an 8 foot Lifetime Table to the test. Lifetime manufactures and sells tables, chairs, and a host of other products for consumer and commercial use. In our case we are going to test one of their commercial products being the Lifetime 8-foot commercial plastic folding table and comparing it to our NES Reliable 8-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. On paper, the Lifetime Table looks to be the stronger table as it is rated for 2000 pounds of weight evenly distributed across the top, while our NES Reliable 8-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table is only rated for 800 pounds. However, in a previous stress test, the NES Reliable 8-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table managed to hold over 1890 pounds before failing. How will the Lifetime commercial folding table stack up against our 8-foot commercial plastic folding table? Let's find out!

Stacking chairs can be a more comfortable and substantial chair to consider investing in for community centres, churches and schools. They have metal frames to hold large amounts of weight while being durable, yet are still light enough for most people to pick up and move by hand should they need to. They also are made to utilize banquet chair dollies (also known as stacking chair dollies) to transport more than a few at a time for set up and removal. After you’ve determined that a stacking chair best meets your centre, church, school or organization’s needs, the next question sure to be on your list is “how much do stacking chairs cost in Canada?” We’ll answer that question for you in the article below so you are able to gain a better understanding of the budget you’ll need to purchase your stacking chairs and / or how much you will need to fundraise.

As there are two different categories that stacking chairs fall into, we’ve broken the article down into cost of plastic stacking chairs and cost of upholstered stacking chairs (sometimes known as banquet chairs).

Cost of plastic stacking chairs in Canada

The average cost of plastic stacking chairs in Canada ranges from $30.95 – 70.95 not including taxes or shipping. The cost ranges due to the thickness of the metal frame, thickness of the plastic, the cost of petroleum (as plastics can be derived from petroleum), the intricacy of the design and the brand distributing the product. Suppliers that deal with commercial organizations will often have volume discounts as well to lower the cost per chair as the volume increases.

Cost of upholstered stacking chairs in Canada

The average cost of upholstered stacking chairs in Canada ranges from $35.95 to $80.95 not including taxes and shipping. The cost ranges due to the amount of fabric needed, the type of fabric (leather, vinyl, cotton, polyester, etc), the thickness of the metal frame and intricacy of frame design, where the product is manufactured and whether the upholstery is custom or stocked. As with plastic stacking chairs, suppliers that deal with commercial organizations will often have volume discounts as well to lower the cost per chair as the volume increases.

Hopefully this post gives you an idea of the approximate costs to be associating to your new stacking chair budget.
