Christmas Is Coming - Make Sure You Have Plenty of Table Space for Your Guests
Everyone loves to think about the holidays. It brings thoughts of togetherness, good friends and family. I, for one, have invited lots of friends and family over for a special Christmas or Thanksgiving meal, only to find that my guests were packed in like sardines around the table! My friends truly became closer to one another!
The lesson learned was that I needed to find a way to get more table space during these special occasions. But there comes the second problem. Dining tables are big... very big. I could not fit another table into my dining room, no matter how much I tried.
But, I have some options for you to consider. These options will not only help you out over the holidays, but can also offer double duty with other celebrations or events.
The key option, of course, is to purchase another table. One that will take care of your extra guests, but also be reasonably priced and portable enough to tuck away when you no longer need it.
There is a bewildering array of tables in the market. Here are the key things to look out for when considering buying a secondary table:
You want it to be strong... being able to hold in excess of 250kgs of evenly loaded weight will be perfect.
You want it to be foldable, both the legs and the table top itself. This means a 6 foot table will collapse into a 3 foot square shape.
You would want it trestle style. This is the most straightforward method of table production and will also have the best prices. A trestle table is the right type to consider when having guests around it.
You would want it to be lightweight - Wood tables might look nice, but they are very heavy. Aluminium tables are lightweight, but are usually made to order and can be very expensive.
Consider a polyethelene table surface. They are easy to clean, and have the right balance of strength, lightweight and price. they are also sometimes called blow moulded tables
In terms of number of people. for 6 additional people, you would want to consider a 6 foot trestle table. It will give enough space for each person to have about 24 inches of horozontal space and 15 inches of vertical space. Thats plenty for a plate, cutlery, a drink and other condiments on the table.
Here is a very good example of a six foot trestle table, that also folds in half. with a carrying handle too!
