A folding table is a type of folding furniture in which the legs are folded up against the table top. This is to make storage more convenient and to make the table more portable. Many folding tables are made from lightweight materials to further increase portability.
It can be combined with a folding chair.
Folding table size description
Folding tables are available in a variety of sizes, configurations and designs. They can be made of plastic, metal, wood and other materials. Some manufacturers use specialized materials, such as engineered wood, when producing tables.Folding mechanism
There are two main types of folding tables. Those that have folded leaves, such as Pembroke tables, folding tables, or door-leg tables, and those that fold through legs that bend on hinges located at the junction between the table top and the legs. The legs are designed to fold and securely fasten to the underside of the tabletop while remaining attached. Since hinges require stable materials such as metal for greater flexibility, some manufacturers use lightweight materials such as aluminum to improve the portability of the folding mechanism.
Use
Folding tables are used in homes, schools, churches and other buildings with rooms for various functions. The folding table can be used for sit-down activities and then easily removed and stored when open space is required. Wooden folding tables are also sometimes used as weapons in professional wrestling.
