Folding Tables, Chairs and Benches

Folding furniture is essential equipment for spaces with changing room configuration requirements—banquet halls, conference centres, school and university canteens, where the same rooms must adapt to different events and group sizes. The quick folding and unfolding design allows one person to set up or remove a table in 1–2 minutes, and minimal effort means the room is ready for the next event faster. BHS offers folding furniture to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Types of folding furniture

Folding trestle tables—classic rectangular tables with folding legs that fold easily to the side. Available in 120–240 cm length, in various widths. HPL or polyurethane tabletop withstands intensive use and easy disinfection. Trestle tables for banquets and seminars are the industry standard. Round folding tables—available in 60–180 cm diameter, suitable for banquets or cocktail events. One round table can accommodate 4–8 people depending on the diameter. Bar tables—high folding tables for cocktails and standing events. Folding chairs—stackable and foldable at the same time, made of polypropylene, metal or a combination of materials. Can be stored in stacks of 12–20 chairs one on top of the other. Folding benches—long benches for group canteens or schools, replacing individual chairs and saving space. BHS helps you choose the right set.

Materials and durability

Tabletops made of HPL—a durable, fire-resistant and easy-to-clean laminate material, available in various colours and textures. Suitable material that withstands intensive commercial use. Polyurethane (PU) tabletops—more resistant to impacts and liquid penetration, improving table durability against mechanical damage. Metal legs with adjustable feet—rust-resistant, withstand load and can level uneven floors. Polypropylene (PP) folding chairs—lightweight, weather-resistant, suitable for outdoor use and intensive indoor commercial use. BHS helps you choose the right material based on the application.

HoReCa usage scenarios

A banquet hall with a maximum capacity of 400 seats uses 100 folding tables and 400 chairs, which are stored on special trolleys—the room can be completely reconfigured from a table format to a theatre or seminar layout in an hour. A school canteen with variable use—a canteen during the day, an auditorium in the evening—uses folding tables and stackable chairs that are stored in a recess cabinet. A catering company that organises outdoor and indoor events invests in quality folding tables and chairs as part of its inventory.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can sit at a standard 180 cm folding table? A 180 cm long table can accommodate 8–10 chairs—4–5 on each long side. A round 180 cm table—8–10 people. BHS helps calculate the optimal number of tables based on room capacity and event format.

How heavy is a standard 180×75 cm folding table? Depends on the material—an HPL tabletop table with steel legs weighs 12–18 kg. One person can move it, but two people work more efficiently. Trolleys for table transport significantly speed up setup for larger events.
