Table height is standard 74cm dining height on all formats. Tables fold flat for storage and transport — the plywood top is 18mm for rigidity under load.


Room layout planning

Allow 60–70cm per chair place setting around the table perimeter, plus aisle space between tables of at least 90cm for service access. For a ballroom with 200 guests at round 5ft tables, 25 tables typically fit with comfortable aisle spacing — your venue's floor plan will confirm exact placement.

Pair banqueting tables with banqueting chairs and round or rectangular tablecloths from the same order. Poseur tables are available for drinks reception areas alongside the main dinner layout.
