Plastic folding chairs are a great addition to any venue that holds events as well as being a great inventory item for party rental companies to stock. There is quite a difference in price that exists in plastic folding chairs in Canada. Note that this blog post examines commercial quality plastic folding chairs that have been stress tested for high wear and tear industries such as party rental. This blog post will attempt to clarify why the price variations exist and what to look for high quality plastic folding chairs in Vancouver, plastic folding chairs in Alberta and anywhere in Canada for that matter.

Cost of Plastic Folding Chairs in Canada:

Plastic Folding Chairs come in a wide variety of colours including in a black plastic folding chair and a white plastic folding chair. Traditional plastic folding chairs are the least expensive of the plastic event chairs. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of materials and production for a plastic folding chair is cheaper. There are numerous pricing components when purchasing wedding white plastic folding chairs that influence the cost – the materials being used in the plastic folding chair frame and whether the chair is sold on volume discount levels or at a set price. The average plastic folding chair will cost $12.49 to $19.59 CDN, depending on the quality of the chair, the type of plastic and metal used and how strong / durable the chair is. Plastic folding chairs can hold between 400 – 800lbs. Typically, with all types of plastic folding chairs, the larger volume of chair you buy, the lower the cost of each chair.

Shipping costs of Plastic Folding Chairs:

The shipping costs of these chairs usually run $1.50 – 8.50 per chair depending on the size of the order (shipping costs tend to decrease based on volume), where it is shipping from and where it is shipping to. The shipping costs do not vary based on the type of chair purchased but solely on volume, weight and shipping location. Nationally based event suppliers will have multiple warehouses across the country to provide better shipping rates coast to coast.

With any company dealing in the event industry – whether it be catering, banquet halls, golf courses, restaurants wanting highboy bar tables, hotels with meeting space or party rental companies – when you buy cocktail tables for standing receptions you want to ensure you’re picking the right table for your company. You want to be able to meet your guests’ reception needs while ensuring your inventory / material costs for the tables don’t affect your bottom line. Add in any breakage or future wear and tear, potential stacking or transporting issues and it can be a bit overwhelming.

This article presents an easy to view list of the pros and cons of cocktail tables vs. cruiser tables.

Cocktail Tables:

• Plastic table tops in round shape only
• Cocktail table tops available in 31.5" or 32"
• Tops are 1 1/4" (folding pedestal table) or 1 3/4" thick (folding cocktail table)
• Cocktail tables available in 30" height (table height) or 43" height (bar height)
• The folding cocktail table has no assembly required & the folding pedestal table ships top off, with minimal assembly (no tools required)
• No parts available for purchase – requiring new table to be purchased
• Table feet do not allow leveling on uneven ground
• Minimal set up time if labour time is a priority to your business
• To buy cocktail tables, average cost ranges between $59.95 - $89.95 CDN (shipping & taxes extra)

Cruiser Tables:

• Wood table tops in either square or round shapes
• Square & Round tops available in 24", 30", 36"
• Tops are 3/4" thick
• Cruiser tables available in 30" height (table height) or 42.5" height (bar height)
• Assembly required as all parts of a cruiser table are sold separately (screwdriver required)
• Because pieces are sold separately, new parts can be purchased if lost or damaged
• Screw-on feet allowing leveling of table on uneven ground
• More time required for set up due to separate parts and leveling
• To buy cruiser tables, average cost ranges between $64.95 – $79.95 CDN (all parts included – shipping & taxes extra)

We can’t honestly say that cruiser tables are better than cocktail tables or vice versa. We wouldn’t sell both if one was a more superior a product. We like to lay out the pros and cons of similar products and let our customers or potential customers decide what makes sense for their business needs. Hopefully this blog post gives you food for thought in determining the best tables for your standing receptions.

This winter has been particularly rough for Canada and it seems to be having a hard time letting go. With spring on its way or already here in some of the country, a lot of Golf Courses are starting to prepare for the upcoming season. When working on the events and weddings taking place at your venue this event season, ensuring you have the proper chairs in place for your upcoming events can help you win more event business – especially outdoor weddings. While Gold Chiavari Chairs are the hottest trend this year often when brides looking to optimize their budgets see how much chiavari chairs cost to rent they start looking at more cost effective options.

Enter the white resin folding chair or black resin folding chair.

These chairs are perfect options for brides looking for high-style at lower costs and they’re perfect options for golf courses looking for high quality strong chairs. Check out 4 reasons why these chairs make a great option for outdoor events.

1. Stack easily:

Golf Courses and event venues looking for chairs that don’t take up a lot of space will love the fact that these folding chairs are stackable and folding chair carts can be purchased to easily transport 30-40 chairs per cart (depending on the height of the door you’re going through).

2. Low Maintenance:

Because these chairs are made of resin that is the same colour throughout, you won’t have to deal with scratches showing up should wear and tear occur. Also, because the seats are not fabric but vinyl – staining does not occur.

3. Strong and Durable:

Because we want to ensure our chairs can withstand the wear and tear associated with multiple events we have stress tested a number of our products by piling bags of salt on them. The white resin folding chair broke at 750lbs in this video – How much weight can a white resin folding chair hold? Because black padded folding chairs are made of the exact same material as the white resin chairs, you can assume they would have the same break point.

4. Good return on investment:

Wholesale white resin chairs sell for a range-between $29-$41.00 CDN. Assuming you are offering these chairs at an additional cost at your venue, most golf courses and venues recoup their initial investment after 3 – 5 events utilizing these chairs. As these chairs last well beyond 3-5 events (we have customers that rent these chairs out for years) they are the perfect wedding or event product to make additional revenue on for years to come.

There’s obviously a business case for Chiavari chairs and as we sell them there’s obviously venues, golf courses and party rental companies that buy them but if you’re looking for an alternative, stylish and cost-effective chair option for outdoor weddings or events, consider the white resin folding chair.

We love testing our chairs and watching them fail under enormous amounts of weight. The last time we tested a chair, we weren't able to get enough weight onto the bistro chair to get it to fail. We've made videos where our NES Reliable Plastic Folding Chairs collapsed under the weight of the salt. We'd shown our plastic folding chairs holding weight overnight to show their durability. But our stacking bistro chairs? 1800 pounds resting on the chair and no collapse.

Our goal when we bring in new products is to bring in quality products. We're not interested in bringing the cheapest products if they're going to fall apart the second time that our customer use them. Durability was one of the key issues we had when we brought in our Natural Wood Folding Chair. We were already selling an incredible White Resin Folding Chair (see the stress test video here) and we didn't want a weak wooden chair that would disappoint customers looking for a wood folding chair as strong as our resin folding chairs. Earlier this year, when we shot the footage for the most recent set of stress test videos, the Natural Wood Folding Chair was high on our list of products to get tested. How did it hold up?
