What are the essential qualities of a great event chair? What makes them a good fit for a rental company? Here are all the quick tips about white resin folding chairs – including what makes them a great chair for rental companies and what markets they fit well into.

1. They lock when folded down and stacked on top of one another for easy transporting
2. The seats can be replaced if there’s damage or staining
3. The most popular chair we sell – selling thousands across Canada
4. We’ve had the same supplier for over 10 years
5. A single white resin folding chair can hold up to 700lbs
6. Can charge more per rental for these chairs – but the incremental cost compared to a regular plastic folding chair isn’t so immense that brides won’t be willing to pay a little extra for a better looking chair
7. Require less maintenance than wood folding chairs because of their resin material
8. Water resistant
9. Small and large markets support these chairs – they’re the more expensive chair for smaller markets who can’t support a chiavari chair rental while are a middle of the road option for larger markets.

As I've mentioned earlier this year, we brought in Black Textured Teardrop-Back Banquet Chairs with silver vein frames as well as Navy Blue Patterned Teardrop-Back Banquet Chairs with silver vein frames. We received them to our Toronto-area warehouse in March and they were so popular we sold them out before the end of summer - especially the black textured banquet chairs. What we also heard though, was that customers wanted a more traditional upholstery - particularly a burgundy fabric. So we went back to our factory and picked a burgundy patterned fabric . I'm pleased to announce that the new Burgundy Patterned Teardrop-back Banquet Chairs with Silver Vein Frame is now in stock - with our stock levels replenished of the Black Textured and Navy Blue Patterned Banquet Chairs.

Candle wax is something that party rental companies that rent out event tablecloths have to deal with on an ongoing basis. Candles and tea/votive lights are an event staple that adds great ambiance to the event – but can be a huge pain to remove – and can potentially stain. We had a customer let us know our spandex cocktail tablecovers had been stained by candle wax so I thought I would test to see whether I could remove the candle wax from spandex tablecovers without staining. Here are the steps I took below:

Here are the items you will need to remove the candle wax:

• A–Paper Towel
• B–Cardboard
• C–Iron with multiple temperature settings
• D–WD-40
• E–Baking Soda
• F–Dawn
• G–Toothbrush

Place the cardboard and a piece of paper towel under the stain between the table and the fabric

Place a piece of paper towel on top of the fabric

Heat iron on low-medium setting and then press the iron on top of the paper towel. The wax will reheat and melt into the paper towel.

Here’s what it will look like after the wax has been melted into the paper towel – like you have an oil stain now.

Squirt WD-40 onto the oil stain. If it is a small amount of candle wax, you may prefer to put a little WD-40 into a bowl and use a q-tip to put WD-40 onto the stain.

Sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda onto the WD-40.

Use the toothbrush to brush the baking soda into the stain. You will notice it clumping as it pulls up the WD-40 into the baking soda. Once it has clumped, discard the used baking soda.

Keep sprinkling on baking soda and brushing it until there are no more clumps.

Put Dawn on the baking soda and use the toothbrush to rub it in. Then let it sit for a bit to pre-treat.

Throw the spandex tablecover with baking soda and dawn into the washing machine with lukewarm water and regular liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low.

Voila! Good as new!

The most common problem that folding cocktail tables have is the spring inside the locking pin will break – making it impossible for the table to be properly locked into a setup position. This causes a stability issue with the tables that rental companies, hotels, banquet halls and golf courses obviously want to avoid. We have the locking cotter pins in stock should this happen to you and have documented in the below post how to go about replacing the locking pin (cotter pin) on your folding cocktail table.

The locking cotter pin is comprised of three parts: the pin itself (A), the spring (B) and the ring (C).

You will need to remove the damaged locking pin by folding up the table and then removing the ring from the pin. This will allow you to slide out the pin with broken spring to the left out of the hole.

Here is what a new pin will look like when you receive it.

In order to install the pin, you need to remove the ring from the pin – similar to removing a key from a keyring.

To install the new cotter pin, slide the spring and pin into the hole of the folding cocktail table. The spring should be between the hole and pin with the pin’s eye on the right.

To get it working properly, you need to push and use your strength to hold the pin + spring in so that the pin’s eye is showing on the right side of the leg.

From here, you will put the ring on through the eye. I just put it on a little bit so the cotter pin wouldn’t shoot out to the left.

This allowed me to use both hands to put the ring fully on.

There you have it – a fully locking cotter pin for your folding cocktail table.
