Lifetime tables is a well-known brand of tables that sells direct and through distributors such as Walmart, Costco, and Lowes. With company headquarters based in the United States, they are often looked to as a respected brand when purchasing plastic folding tables for party rental companies. Even though we don’t personally sell lifetime folding tables, we believe in informing our customers and potential customers on any and all of the questions they may have regarding a commercial folding table purchase. When a company begins their search to replace their plastic folding table inventory, one of the questions that is sure to pop up is where a table is made. Because we have sold comparable plastic folding tables to thousands of customers, we naturally get asked "Where are lifetime tables made?" This article attempts to answer this important question.

Lifetime Products currently operates two blow mold plastic manufacturing facilities. The first is located in Clearfield, Utah, USA. This facility is one of the largest blow molded plastics facilities in North America, occupying approximately 2.2 million square feet. The second is located in Xiamen, China and is wholly owned by Lifetime Products.

As a result typically Lifetime tables fit into one of three categories. The first is a plastic folding table that generally does not say where it is made. Typically this product will be made in China. The second is a table that is Made in the USA from US and Imported Parts. This will appear on products that are made with mostly USA made components however some parts are sourced offshore. The last is a table that is made in the USA. This is a product that is fully made and assembled in the United States.

Bone China is a fantastic addition to five star restaurants, high-end event venues and party rental companies that service the affluent luxury events. It sets the tone for the event by showcasing the translucent opulence that exists in the dinnerware line. When a company is looking into purchasing bone china dinnerware for their establishments, one of the most important questions they ask is "how much does bone china dinnerware cost in Canada?" This blog post attempts to answer that important question so companies have an idea how much they should be budgeting for the purchase.

Bone china dinnerware in Canada is sold in numerous different dinner pieces including but not limited to: tea cup and saucer, side plate, rim soup plate, and dinner plate. For consistency, I will reference a traditional 5 piece place setting of a dinner plate, salad plate, rim soup plate, tea cup and saucer.

A bone china dinner plate will vary in price in Canada from $7.95 to $51.75. A bone china rim soup plate will vary in price in Canada from $6.95 to $73.50. A bone china side plate will vary in price in Canada from $4.95 to $25.50. A bone china tea cup will vary in price in Canada from $3.95 to $33.75. Last but not least a bone china saucer will vary in price in Canada from $3.95 to $18.00. As a result of the wide range of costs, a 5pc set will range in price from $27.75 to $135.00. The difference in cost for all of these items is very much dependent on the brand name, whether it’s a retail or wholesale location, and if there’s any patterns associated with the bone china dinnerware.

Hopefully this blog post provides you with the answers you need to begin the purchasing process.

Dark Fruitwood Chiavari Chairs are one of the darker types of wood Chiavari chairs that work beautifully with crisp white linens and can pair nicely in décor settings that need a richer true brown instead of mahogany colour. If your event venue or party rental company is in the market for new dark fruitwood Chiavari chairs, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is “how much do dark fruitwood Chiavari chairs cost in Canada?” This article will attempt to answer this important question so venues and event rental companies can properly budget for their purchases.

The short answer for a dark fruitwood Chiavari chair’s cost is: it depends.

But we’re not just going to leave you hanging. The range in cost for a dark fruitwood Chiavari chair in Canada is $36.95 – $96.47. The range varies so dramatically in cost because there are a number of U.S. companies selling into Canada that appear to have baked the duties into the cost. These same companies also feature the very highest cost in the price range for less than 24 chairs in an attempt to prohibit consumer purchases or purchases of a lower quantity.

Because Chiavari chairs, regardless of whether it is a wood Chiavari chair or resin Chiavari chair is shipped on skids, the cost of shipping tends to be more than a normal consumer shipping purchase – for say a pair of shoes or clothing. To give an estimate for how much additional shipping cost you should budget for your chairs, shipping for 100 chairs would cost about 15-25% of the order, assuming it is going to a major centre
