How to source good quality of Folding tables

Many folding tables seem the same, well, look a little closer and you will find some small details that make a table.

How to choose folding table Size

To find tables that provided enough surface area and seating without taking up too much storage space. Eight-foot folding tables are out there, but 6-foot tables were most popular with our staffers—they should seat six to eight adults. The 4-foot tables we tested were narrower, so they were less comfortable for adult seating but perfect for kids, as a serving surface, or as a utility table.

Folding Hardware

The folding hardware—hinges, locks, and latches—should move smoothly and easily. The best tables feature automatic locks to hold the open table secure and, for tables that fold in half, exterior latches to keep the table shut while in transport.

Stability of folding table

To find the strong tables that weren’t wobbly. If the table is jostled, drinks shouldn’t fall over. It also shouldn’t flip over if you lean on it, and if it folds in half, bumping into it shouldn’t cause the middle to bow.

Portability of folding table

A good table should be light enough for one person of average strength to move and set up. Most 6-foot tables weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, while 4-foot tables weigh 20 to 25 pounds. Our tables are with comfortable handles that were easy to grip. Because it’s less compact, a solid tabletop is much more cumbersome to move around; it also usually doesn’t have a handle.

Weight limit

The weight limits is vary from 300 to 1,000 pounds. These limits are for distributed weight, though, which means heavy objects, like a person or bulky sewing machine, may still dent the tabletop. Increased weight limits don’t seem to affect price in a meaningful way, but not all table makers list a limit. If you plan on storing a lot of heavy objects like power tools or computer monitors on the table, you may want to factor in weight limit, but most people won’t notice the difference between a table rated for 300 pounds and one rated for 1,000 pounds.

Durable top of table

The tabletop should stand up to heavy use and be easy to clean. Some folding tables have a textured top, and others are smooth. In our tests, we discovered that smooth tables show more scratches. It is better to pick textured tops, which makes them more durable. We left oil on our tables overnight, but neither type of surface was particularly prone to staining.

Table Leg design

Design of the legs makes a table’s stability. In our tests, the tables that used a wishbone-shaped leg design tended to be the most stable. Both 4-foot adjustable height tables we tested use an upside-T shape or horizontal bars for reinforcement, which we also found pretty stable. The gravity locks—the metal rings that secure the open leg hinges and prevent the table from folding back up accidentally—should descend automatically (sometimes, even with our picks, you will still need to manually slide them into place). For height-adjustable models, we looked for legs that adjust smoothly and lock securely at each height. All legs should also have plastic caps on the bottom so they don’t scratch up hardwood floors.
