Bought for how they store and how fast a room resets — not for how they photograph.

What this guide does. Training tables are bought for how they store and how fast a room can be reset — not for how they look in a catalogue.

1. Folding or nesting — decide by how the room is used

TypeStoresSet-up
Tilt-top foldingFlat against a wall, densestSlower — legs unfold each time
NestingSlides under the table in frontFastest — nothing to unfold

If the room changes layout daily, nesting wins. If the tables are stored for months between events, folding stores in less space.

2. Castors change who can move it

A table without castors needs two people. With castors, one. On a room that is reset weekly, that is the difference between a five-minute job and a twenty-minute one. Castors are model-specific — ask per model rather than assuming.

3. Power and data must be decided at order stage

In-desk power modules are fitted during manufacture. They cannot be retrofitted cleanly, so if there is any chance the room will need power at the table, specify it now.

4. Our training table line

26 models. Prices are quoted per model on request because table pricing depends heavily on top size and finish.

Ask for the loading figure for the exact model — a table carton is large, and loading is usually the constraint rather than the unit price.

Two mistakes buyers make

  1. Choosing on top size only. The mechanism decides whether the table stores in the corner or blocks a corridor.
  2. Leaving power to later. It is a manufacturing option, not an accessory.

Training table questions

Folding or nesting tables — what is the difference?

A folding table's top tilts and the legs fold flat, so it stores against a wall. A nesting table keeps its legs and slides under the table in front. Folding stores denser; nesting is faster to set up because nothing has to be unfolded.

Do training tables come with castors?

Many do, and it changes how the room is used — a table on castors can be moved by one person. Ask per model; castors are not universal across the range.

Can tables be specified with power and data?

Yes on some models, with in-desk modules. It is a factory option, not something added later, so it has to be decided at the order stage.

Send the model and the quantity.
You get the unit price, the loading plan and the lead time back — usually the same working day.
