Folding & Flip-Top Tables
Folding tables and flip-top tables that tip and nest - a hall's worth of surface hiding in a store cupboard.
Folding and flip-top tables exist for the space that is sometimes a dining hall, sometimes a meeting venue and sometimes empty: legs that fold flat for stacking on a trolley, or tops that tip vertical so tables nest into a compact row.
The benefit is arithmetic - a store cupboard holds a roomful, setup and breakdown take minutes without tools, and the same folding tables serve exams, events, meals and meetings across the year. Frames are engineered for repeated folding, because a folding table that folds reluctantly gets folded badly.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need folding tables?
When the room has another job. A training room that becomes a canteen, a hall that holds a class and then a committee, a space that must be cleared for an event. 6 here from £174.
What is the difference between folding and flip-top?
A folding table has legs that fold under the top and it stores flat. A flip-top tilts the whole top vertical on its frame and rolls away on castors, usually nesting against others. Flip-tops are quicker to clear and take more floor space to store; folding tables are the opposite.
How much storage space do they need?
Work it out before you buy, because it is what people forget. A stack of folding tables or a nest of flip-tops needs real floor space and a route to get there that is not a fire exit. Measure the cupboard and the doorway first.
Will they stand up to being moved every week?
These are contract tables built for the job rather than trestle tables, so yes. The mechanism is the part that wears, so it is worth the once-a-term look at the catches and the castors on anything that gets moved constantly.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Nothing here is made to order, so the lead times are the standard ones.
Do you offer installation?
Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £25.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.
Does it come assembled?
Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.
What warranty does it come with?
Guarantees across this category run to 5 years, depending on the product and the part, and the figure is on every product page. Structure, mechanism, electrics, and fabric and foam are often covered for different lengths of time. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.
Can I see it in 3D?
Two of the 6 products in this category have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.
Can you quote for a whole office?
Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
