Ten Reasons You Should Buy a Folding Table

1 – Accommodate Extra Guests

If you want to get together for a big family meal, you’re going to need somewhere to put the food and drinks. Pull out your folding table, place it next to your standard dining table, and your guests no longer have to balance their plates on their laps. If you get a height adjustable folding table you can match the height, and a table cover will help it look seamless.

2 – Sell Your Wares

A folding table will easily fit into the boot of a car… which is great for a car boot sale! It can also be used to display your creations in craft shows, or if you’re selling at a vintage clothing fair, you can get a small folding table to use for your card machine and drinks.

3 – Arts and Crafts

If you have a budding Picasso at home, you’ll know how messy they like to get! A small folding table will help keep your other furniture safe from paint, glue, and glitter. You can even store it alongside a fabric storage box, to keep all their artistic tools together.

4 – Camping

If you are going camping you can store a small folding table in the car boot. It won’t take up a lot of space, but it will be a big upgrade when it’s time for tea. If you are going caravanning, you can set it up inside, to enjoy a sociable breakfast together.

5 – Gardening

Gardening is a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it’s also messy. Set up a narrow folding table  as a potting bench – it is suitable for use outdoors, and it is wipe-clean. No matter how mucky you get, you can keep the inside of your house lovely and clean.

6 – Furnishing Your First Flat

Moving into a new flat or home can be expensive, especially if it comes unfurnished. A multi-functional folding table can be used as a worktop, dining table, meeting place, and work desk. Check out more tips on how to furnish your first house on a budget.

7 – Game Night

Whether you are enjoying cards, board games, or TTRPGs, a folding table is a great way to level up your game night. Add a serving trolley and you can keep food and drinks nearby, without worrying about spilling liquid all over the game pieces.

8 – Workbench

A folding bench is a great addition to your garage – providing a workspace for small repairs and DIY projects, then folding back up to help maximise your space.

9 – BBQ

Plates get everywhere during an outdoor party. Balanced on a windowsill, placed on an upturned plant pot, or even put straight on the patio slabs! An 8ft folding table is perfect for giving your guests somewhere to store their food, letting them focus on partying, instead of awkwardly trying to dance while holding a chicken drumstick in one hand, and a plate of sauces in the other.

10 – Weddings (and other large events)

If you’re catering an outdoor wedding, you need some folding tables. A folding table with a stretch tablecloth (also available with a black tablecloth) will keep wedding costs down, and when the meal is complete, you can fold them away to leave more room for partying!
