With so many benefits, buying a stainless steel folding table is hardly a mistake. Keep in mind that stainless steel folding tables have varying shapes, styles, and features. The plethora of options is often a cause of confusion. To help simplify things, this article is going to be a buying guide for stainless steel folding tables.

What are the common shapes of stainless steel folding table?

The common shapes of stainless steel folding tables are round/oval, square/rectangle, half-round, and serpentine. The ideal one for you depends on the primary purpose of the table.

Round/Oval - Because of how the users are seated in a round/oval table, conversations and discussions are easier. It's the reason why it's the preferred shape during conferences and parties.
Square/Rectangle - The shape comes with right angles, which allows it to be more flexible in terms of table arrangement. You can simply add and connect more tables if the event needs more seating accommodation.
Half-Round - A shape that is often positioned against the wall.
Serpentine - A shape that is the least common. It's primarily used for buffet or potluck presentations. Also, it comes with a unique and attractive shape which can highlight the items on the table.

What types of legs do stainless steel folding tables come with?

The legs supporting a folding table come in several forms. The popular types include pedestal legs, wishbone legs, Roman legs, and ladder legs.

Pedestal legs are typically used in a square or rectangular table. With such legs, you only need to use two sets of pedestal legs to support a table.
Wishbone legs are legs that spread outwards. This type provides more stability for the table.
Roman legs are the ones wherein the legs are directly connected to the corners of a table. This type has the advantage of maximizing storage room under the table, as well as the leg room.
Ladder legs have additional supports, which are aimed at preventing the table from wobbling or tipping.

What extra features to look for in stainless steel folding tables?

The features people most commonly look for in stainless steel folding tables include:

Adjustable Height - By allowing you to adjust the height, the table becomes more functional. For example, you can adjust it according to the users (kids or adults).
Bi-Folding - A feature that makes the table more compact. Often, the legs and the table can be folded. Because of its thin profile, it's more portable and consumes less space during storage.
Flip Top - A feature that allows you to flip down the table when not in use. It makes cleaning under the table more convenient. It's a typical feature for tables used in an institutional setting.
Modesty Panels - With a modesty panel between the legs of the user, it provides more privacy. The modesty panels will typically come with holes for easier management of computer and electronic cables.

Generally, the more features the folding table has, the better it is. On the downside, more features also mean higher cost. Hence, it's up to you to balance between feature and cost.
