How Much Weight Can a White Resin Folding Chair Hold?

White Resin Folding ChairWe've been testing our tables and chairs for almost a year. We've done tests to see how much weight it takes to destroy our NES Reliable Folding Chairs. We did an overnight test showing that our Plastic Folding Chairs have no problems holding 396 pounds for over 12 hours. And we've tested our bar-height folding chairs to prove their strength.

Today we're going to be testing one of our most popular event chairs, the NES Reliable White Resin Folding Chair. Rental companies buy white resin folding chairs because they are perfect for outdoor events on a sunny summer weekend and can be used inside when the weather is snowy and miserable. Sales of our white resin chairs have been increased every year that we have offered them. People just love our white resin padded chairs!

Some people are a little hesitant about purchasing a chair made entirely of plastic, and this video is for them. Find out how much weight our NES Reliable White Resin Folding Chairs can take by watching the video below!

How much do Wedding Folding Chairs Cost in Canada?

Next to the Chiavari Chair, the most popular event chair for weddings would be Wedding White Folding Chairs. Party and event rental companies, hotels, banquet halls and caterers often start their search off for these chairs asking what different variations of white wedding folding chairs exist and how much do white wedding folding chairs cost? This blog post will detail the range of cost (if buying from a Canadian event equipment supplier) and styles of white wedding folding chairs and the reasons for the cost variations.

White Resin Folding Chairs

Resin Folding ChairWhite Resin Folding Chairs will have the highest initial cost because they use more expensive materials and are the most labour intensive to produce. Their prices will again vary greatly depending on the quality of chair, the volume you want to buy, and the cost to ship. White Resin Folding Chairs range in price from $29.00 CDN - $41.00 CDN. These chairs are the most popular in terms of aesthetics.

Wedding White Plastic Folding Chairs

Wedding White Plastic Folding Chairs are the least expensive white wedding folding chair option. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of materials and production for a wedding white 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 wedding white plastic folding chair will cost between $14.95 to $17.75 CDN, depending on the quality of the chair 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.

White on White NES Reliable Fanback Plastic Folding ChairWhite Fan Back Plastic Folding Chairs

White fan back chairs cost slightly more than wedding white plastic folding chairs because the chair (while made of the same materials as the plastic folding chairs) has a more labour intensive production associated. These chairs are more aesthetically appealing than the traditional wedding white plastic folding chair but the cost difference tends to make them a less popular chair with the price sensitive wedding crowd. The average white fan back plastic folding chair ranges in price from $15.00 – $19.00 CDN depending on the chair quality and volume discounts.

Shipping costs on Wedding White Plastic Folding Chairs, White Fan Back Plastic Folding Chairs & White Resin 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 suppliers to the hospitality industry will have multiple warehouses across the country to provide better shipping rates coast to coast.

How Much Weight Can a Lifetime 6-ft Commercial Plastic Folding Table Hold?

Bag of QuestionsLast year, we started making videos where we stressed tables and chairs to the breaking point. We've tested our 6-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table and our 8-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. We've put an 8-ft NES Rectangular Wood Folding Table to the test. This year we hope to test some of our round tables to show just how strong they are. We're also going to be testing some of our competitors' table to see how they stack up against the tables that we offer.

Today we're going to be putting a Lifetime Table to the test. Lifetime manufactures and sells tables, chairs, and a host of other products. We're going to be testing the Lifetime 6-foot commercial plastic folding table and comparing it to our NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. On paper, the Lifetime Table looks to be the stronger table as it is rated for 2000 pounds of weight evenly distributed across the top, while our NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table is only rated for 1000 pounds. However, in a previous stress test, the NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table managed to hold over 2500 ounds before failing. How will the Lifetime folding table stack up against our 6-foot commercial plastic folding table? Let's find out!
