One thing to think about when choosing a table is whether or not you need plastic that is any thicker than what is usually offered. Some plastic tables will advertise their plastic as being 15 to 20% thicker than what you’ll usually get. The benefit here is that the table’s surface will be more durable and may have a higher weight capacity. The downside is that these tables might be heavier, making them more difficult to carry.
Speaking of carrying your table, all of these tables will have legs that can fold inwards to make the table slim and easy to prop up against a wall or lay flat on the ground. However, for added convenience and portability, many of these tables can also be folded in half once the legs are withdrawn. This might make it easier for you to load the table in the trunk of your car or tuck it away in the corner of your garage or storage shed. Some tables also have handles, which will prove to be easier to carry than finding a grip elsewhere on the table.
Another factor that might be important to you when folding, storing, or transporting your table is how well it will lock. You certainly don’t want the table to come unfolded, or for the legs to pop out, while you are moving the table. Many tables include special locks, handles, or technology that will give you increased peace of mind that your table will not come apart as you’re moving it from one place to another.
Lastly, you’ll want to decide how long a table you need to buy. Smaller tables may only be three feet long, while larger tables can be as long as eight feet wide. You’ll also see options available that are four feet or six feet long—by the way, six foot long tables are the most common. If you want a longer surface for creating a food line or for seating more people, you can always buy multiple tables and push them together on one end.

A: It depends on which table you’re looking at. Smaller tables will be able to hold between 150 and 200 pounds. Larger, more sturdy tables can hold up to 300 or 350 pounds. You might not think that you’ll need this much support. However, when you begin to think about how much drink coolers weigh, for example, you’ll realize that a higher weight capacity might be more important than you think.
A: When you read about the different sizes that tables are sold in (keep in mind that most tables are sold in multiple lengths), you’re only reading about one dimension of the table, and you might be interested in the width and height as well. On average, tables will be about 30 inches wide, and most tables are somewhere between 22 inches and 36 inches high. Most tables can only be set at one height, but other tables will offer different height settings that can be adjusted based on what you’re using the table for at the time.
