8 Foot (96″ x 36″) Rectangle Heavy Duty Plywood Folding Banquet Table
Even though plywood banquet tables are covered by linens, you can’t hide from the importance of buying a table that will provide the return on investment that increases your profitability. Buying replacement tables in a couple of years is not the answer. Buy our rugged tables and watch then perform well beyond your expectations!
This table is 100% professional, with Commercial grade, ¾” (.75”) thick plywood (fits standard table skirt clips) with 11 layers of premium wood, 2 layers of superior grade veneer on top and bottom, and 6 Coats of Polyurethane.
This table features 16” Gauge Steel Legs — Designed to last — with 100% bolt-through construction (not screws) for leg and runner attachment.
Okoume plywood (also called Gaboon, Combogala, or Okoume Mahogany) comes with a high strength-to-weight ratio, and meets strict standards for strength, durability, and resistance to decay and delamination. That’s why it’s the only Plywood we use in our banquet tables.
Our Aluminum Tough Edge Tables are made from 11 Okoume layers, 2 veneer layers plus four applied layers of polyurethane to the top surface, and two coats to the bottom! That’s 19 layers of protection! And by the way, Okoume plywood is made from sustainably grown and renewable lumber). Edges are pressure wrapped with our own high tensile strength Aluminum edge banding, applied with tons of pressure — for a lifetime of beauty and consistent performance.
Okoume plywood is naturally resistant to moisture and insects, making it a great choice for outdoor projects, and for use in damp environments, When it comes to different types of plywood, Okoume is considered the lightest and strongest, especially since it comes from one of the most beautiful evergreen trees.
Okoume plywood is commonly used for building racing boats and other uses where lightweight wood is needed. It can also be used for building furniture or on kitchen cabinets because of its lustrous appearance. Okoume has a uniform texture and the grain is straight to barely wavy that looks interlocked and attractive.
– We use sustainably sourced farmed wood in all our wood products.
– We do not use old growth trees, we do not deforest.
– We plant new trees in countries devastated by deforestation.
We BOLT and GLUE our table tops to our frames.
– Our tables are stronger because every joint is extra strong . Others use a single screw to attach the table top to the framing, but our table tops are bolted to their frames, with a lock nut and washer – – and glue! And not just any bolts, we use cold-formed steel alloy
bolts to improve the physical strength and longevity of our tables.
Advanced Metal Painting Process
Others may skimp on certain processes and cut corners and still deliver a shiny product. But within months you'll notice the inferior workmanship as blemishes and even rust begins to appear. At Chivari, we never skip steps or cut corners. Our goal is simple. The highest quality products period. That's why all our metal products go through a 9 step paint adhesion process:- BARE METAL POLISHING Polishing to remove impurities and rust. This is very important. Others may skip this step to save time and labor, but it'll show up when the product begins to show signs of rust.
- DRY PROCESSING After polishing, the bare metal undergoes a drying process to remove moisture, metal's top enemy. Others may simply paint over moist metal. That simply ensures the product will form a rust pocket.
- PRIMING For maximum adhesion, a coat of film is applied to the metal surface as a primer. - This is very important.
- ELECTROSTATIC POWDER SPRAY After the primer has set, we use an electrostatic powder spraying machine to spray powder onto the metal parts. In a high-pressure electrostatic environment, the powder has a negative polarity and is sprayed onto the chair under the force of compressed air. The metal part is grounded to absorb the negative powder. This ensures a thorough and evenly distributed coat of paint across the metal surface.
- FIRST PAINT LAYER The first layer of paint is thinly covered to enhance adhesion, with a thickness of approximately 10-20 μM or Micromolar. (A micromolar refers to a concentration range often used in scientific studies, particularly in chemistry, biology, and biochemistry to describe the range of concentration of a substance in an aqueous solution.)
- SECOND PAINT LAYER The second layer provides a more thorough paint concentration with a thickness of approximately 60-80 μM.
- PAINT BAKING After the coating is completed, the metal components enter the high-temperature curing furnace (374-446 degrees Fahrenheit). The powder begins to melt and level after high-temperature and then enters the constant temperature curing stage. The constant temperature curing time is about 20 minutes.
- CURING REVIEW If the coating is thick, the powder curing time needs to be extended to ensure a smooth and even paint finish.
- QUALITY CONTOL Finally, an inspector will visually review the paint finish to guarantee it meets our quality standard. Any product not meeting or exceeding our discerning quality standard is immediately rejected.
