We have been selling our NES Reliable Plastic Folding Tables for over 10 years – same supplier, same specifications. We know our tables aren’t the cheapest on the market, but we know that they perform well, and allow the companies that use them to get their money’s worth out of them. They’re strong durable tables that work for most party rental companies, golf courses, catering companies and event venues that favour plastic over wood tables. But, there still exists the gold standard for folding tables – considered the strongest, most durable tables on the market: the ABS Folding Table.

These tables are the gold standard because they’re used most in high-use/high-turnover establishments. The ABS plastic is very structurally sturdy which gives the table the ability to stand up well to external impacts.

Sizes available:

• 6ft x 18” NES Reliable ABS Training Table

• 8ft x 30” NES Reliable ABS Folding Table
• 60” Round NES Reliable ABS Folding Table
• 72” Round NES Reliable ABS Folding Table

Additional product features include:

• Tables made of highly durable ABS plastic which is very structurally sturdy with the ability to stand up well to external impacts

We’re excited to offer these durable, easy to clean tables that will provide our customers with years of reliable service.

Everyone wants to make sure that the products they buy are good quality products and because of that the stress test series was born. It has become one of our most popular blog series as it showcases how strong the products we sell are.

Continuing on with our stress testing series, we have a new video for you today. Because of how well-known Lifetime Products brand is, we often get asked how our tables compare to them. Last week, we showcased our 6ft fold in half table by stress testing the table using 44lb bags of salt until the table broke. This week’s post shows a video of us testing the lifetime 6 foot fold in half table to see how strong a lifetime fold in half table is. Check it out below!

Readers who follow our blog know that we often have blog posts answering reader and customer questions. Today’s post is based on a question that has been asked in our website search bar more than 20 times in the past 3 months. The question is “how many less people can you seat using round tables versus using rectangular tables”.

Anyone in the events industry knows that it’s all about head counts. The more people you can fit at a table and the more tables you can fit in a room, the more money to be made. Below we’ve put together an easy to reference table of Round Banquet Tables and Rectangle Banquet Tables including their measurements and how many people they seat.

Round Banquet Tables

Rectangle Banquet Tables

Hopefully this post helps you to understand the capacity between a rectangle versus a round banquet table.

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.
