Benefits of Choosing Plastic Folding Tables

While wooden folding tables are also available, many customers prefer to go with plastic tables for a number of reasons. Some of the big benefits to choosing plastic folding tables include:

• Lightweight Option – Plastic tables are always a lighter option than going with wood. With lightweight plastic options, hosting events outdoors particularly becomes easier and more convenient.
• Easy Cleaning – Plastic tables are also easy to clean since they have groove-free, flat surfaces. If you’re worried about cleanup or drinks being spilled, plastic offers an excellent choice.
• Transportation Is Simple – Since plastic folding banquet tables are so light, transporting them to the area of your event is much easier, and it’s easier to move multiple tables at once since they are so lightweight.
• Resistant to Damage – You’ll also appreciate that plastic tables are more resistant to surface damage, so if they’re bumped or dropped during transport, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Tips and Tricks for Styling Plastic Folding Tables for Your Event

Although the venue creates a large part of the atmosphere for your occasion, you’ll also find that your tables play a big part. Whether you’re going with round tables for an intimate setting or larger rectangular banquet tables, here are some tips and tricks for styling these tables so they look their very best at your event.

Tips for Rectangular Banquet Folding Tables

• Consider the venue. If you have floor-to-ceiling windows and a lofty ceiling, setting them off with long tables is a perfect option to create some depth. Organize your long rectangular tables in a U shape or in rows, and then use texture and color to bring the room to life.
• Create height. Add some dimension to these long rectangular tables by using décor of varying heights. Alternate tall statement vases with small hurricane candles or tall, thin taper candles with smaller ceramic vases to create dimension.
• Play with the shapes of your dinnerware. You don’t have to go with round plates. Consider rectangular or square place settings that mimic the shape of your tables for an edgy look.
• Work the middle zone of the table to elongate the look. Consider adding a graphic runner over a solid color tablecloth for some texture. A runner of greenery offers a great look if you don’t want to double up on linens.
• Disperse your details. There’s a lot of space to fill on rectangular tables, but remember that you don’t have to cover every inch. Use décor to accent different spots and avoid the temptation to over-decorate.

Tips for Round Plastic Folding Tables

• Consider working a trio of décor items into the middle of round tables. Stick with the trio, but vary the colors and sizes of the arrangements and table décor on every table for a unique look.
• Go small. Understated style and subtle details can make a great presentation on round tables, especially if you’re going with smaller rounds.
• Don’t be afraid to play with patterns and colors. White can get a bit boring if it’s not done right. Diversify round tables with unique color or pattern details.
• Add some edge. Unexpected elements that bring in modern, unexpected angles to round tables, such as square plates, can give you a modern, edgy look.
