Buying Guide
Seating capacity varies based on age
and activity. Young students can be
seated at maximum capacity. Seat
fewer students per table during group
testing or crafting.
Consider the different benefits offered
by different materials. For example,
aluminum tops typically look great
while plastic folding tables are safer
for active classrooms.
Some tables can be nested together,
allowing for compact storage while
other tables can be efficiently stored
and moved on dollies.
For ultra-portable folding tables,
choose models with heavy-duty
casters attached. These smooth
wheels make it easy to rearrange
spaces on the fly.
