Top Questions Answered Regarding 8ft Spandex Table Covers

This week at NES we were a little short staffed with some of our team away for weddings, holidays, and bereavement leave so this gave me a great opportunity to help out answering the phones again. It has been a while since I have regularly manned the phones and I was a little rusty on the kinds of questions that might come up. It is always a great experience listening to our potential customers and I can always find new material to write about so our customer’s don’t have to take time out of their busy days to call us for an answer.

One of the first questions that came up was will our 8ft Spandex table covers fit an 8ft wood banquet table, AND do they have webbed pockets for the legs of the table to go into?

White Webbed Pocket for 8-ft Spandex

The easiest part of the question to answer was the about the pockets. YES we do have webbed pockets for the table legs to go into. The webbed pockets help dramatically improve the durability and useful life of the Spandex table linen so you are able to get many uses out of the covering.

 

With our first shipment of stretch table cloths we received a white webbed pocket like the picture on the upper left, while our future shipments now have webbed pockets that match the colour of the Spandex table linen (similar to the black spandex shown to the right).

For the next part of the question, Would our 8ft Spandex cover fit an 8ft wood table?-We decided the best way to test this was to put one of our 8ft Black Spandex Table covers onto one of our own NES 8ft Wood Folding tables. Here’s a picture (on the left) of the result. While the 8ft Spandex table linen will fit one of our 8ft wood folding banquet tables, it is definitely tight at each end and a little loose across the middle of the table. (And you can see it showing a little bit of the white webbed foot pocket).

When you compare this to how our 8ft Spandex table covers fit on one of our NES Reliable 8ft plastic folding tables, you realize they were made for an 8ft Plastic folding table. What a gorgeous sleek look and fit and a great way to separate yourself from your competitors.

So now that we have shown you the results, what’s the big reason for the difference?

The placement of the table legs is the major reason for the 8ft Spandex not fitting our 8ft Wood folding table as nicely as our 8ft plastic folding table. Our NES 8ft Wood folding table legs are positioned about 19 inches from the end of the table, while on our NES Reliable 8ft Plastic folding tables the legs are positioned about 8.5 inches from the end of the table.

So we believe if you have an 8ft folding table where the table legs are positioned anywhere from really close to the edge to about 10 inches from the end of the table, you should be able to obtain a look similar to what we are showing in Picture B.

If however your table’s legs are positioned further in from the end of the table, the look of your Spandex will be similar to that of Picture A.

Dimensions of a White Resin Folding Chair

Seating Chart Capacity of Event Venue

With any event that requires chairs, it helps to know the dimensions of the chair so an event coordinator or potential event client understands the amount of chairs to purchase or rent from a party rental company. This post will talk about the dimensions of a white resin folding chair; a popular chair used for indoor or outdoor events as a more budget friendly chair than Chiavaris.

White resin folding chairs have a chair width of 17.5" / 44.5 cm. They have a depth of 18.5" / 47.0 cm. If a potential client or event venue is looking to purchase chairs – below is a chart showcasing the number of chairs per row depending on the size of the room. This chart assumes a standard wedding ceremony setup with a 5 foot center aisle, 3.5 feet of walking room on the left and right sides of the room, 5 feet of walking room at the back of the room, 10 feet from the front row of chairs to the front of the room (for bride, groom and officiant standing room), 0" between each chair and 24" between chair rows (for walking / leg room).

Room Size# of White Resin Folding Chairs
25'x40' 56 Chairs
25'x50' 88 Chairs
35'x50' 140 Chairs
50'x50' 374 Chairs
50'x100' 552 Chairs

In general, a good rule of thumb would be 2 white resin folding chairs for approximately every 3 feet of space.

Hopefully this post can be a reference point used by your clients or yourself when estimating the number of white resin folding chairs to be used for an event.

How to Assemble a Chiavari Chair Dolly

Chiavari Chair dollies are the easiest way to transport stacks of Chiavari chairs on and off of rental trucks and across event venue floors. While not a lot of assembly is required, there is still a few pieces to put together in order to begin using the Chiavari chair dolly. Here’s how to assemble a Chiavari chair cart:

What you should receive:

  • (2x) Wheels
  • (1x) Chiavari Chair Cart
  • (1x) Axle
  • (2x) Washers (*Note: not all carts will require both or any washers; the washers simply fill the extra space to prevent the wheels from traveling too much on the axle. The chiavari chair cart will still work effectively without them so use at your discretion.*)
  • (2x) Cotter Pins

Tools Required (not included):

  • Pliers
  • Rubber Mallet

1. Check to make sure all parts are accounted for. The axle, cotter pins and washers should be taped to the Chiavari chair dolly (see picture below). Chiavari Chair Dolly Assembly Step 1

2. Take axle off the hand truck and flip the chiavari chair cart over so the axle holes are facing up.

Can we buy from your Showroom?

We frequently get asked if people can pick up their orders to save on shipping. The answer is yes, you absolutely can come to our Mississauga Showroom/Warehouse or Delta, BC Warehouse and pick-up your order! Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that everything goes smoothly on your visit to the National Event Supply Showroom and warehouses.

1) If you want to pick up your order in Vancouver, you need to give us 24 hours notice.

Our warehouse in Delta (a suburb of Vancouver, BC) is a third party facility owned by Locher Evers International. National Event Supply doesn't have any staff at the facility and Locher Evers needs 24 hours to pull the products so that you can pick it up. If you show up at the warehouse without placing your order with us first, you will not be able to pick up the items that you want. That being said, we try our best to make our customers happy so if there is ever a rush situation of less than 24 hours, still give us a call. We will try our very best to ensure your able to meet your deadlines.

2) You can come and look at our products at our Mississauga Showroom before you place your order...

But it can take as long as 45 minutes to an hour for our warehouse staff to pull your order depending on how busy we are. If you know what you want, it's better to give us a call and let us know ahead of time so the warehouse staff can pull your order and so that we can get a start on preparing your paperwork. If you get to the warehouse and decide to change your mind after seeing our products, let us know and we'd be happy to change your order.

Overloaded Car Fail Transportation3) Make sure that the vehicle you're bringing is large enough for the products you'd like to pick-up.

Occasionally we get customers who order products for pick-up without really realising how large the products really are. Wood Folding tables and plastic folding tables that are five foot (60 inches) round or larger don't lay flat in the backs of van or SUVs or in the box of a pick-up truck. A box of 8 plastic folding chairs is over 3 feet long, is a foot and a half wide and is almost a foot thick. A box of 12 Quadrato Square Dinner Plates is about 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot. If you need to make 2 or 3 trips in your vehicle to get all of the products that you have purchased, you may find it more economical to just have the order shipped to you. If you aren’t sure your vehicle will fit your order, ask one of our customer service representatives! They are trained to calculate the dimensions of your order for shipping purposes and would be happy to send you the overall dimensions so you can make the appropriate accommodations for your order.

So now that you know you can pick up your order and get wholesale prices, what are you waiting for? We hope to see you soon!
