Versatility with trestle tables
Trestle tables are a versatile and practical choice for a wide variety of events. Their foldable, lightweight design makes them easy to set up and rearrange, while their rectangular shape maximises space and seating arrangements.
What makes trestle tables different?
Trestle tables offer several advantages over round or fixed rectangular tables:
- Space efficiency: Their long rectangular design accommodates more guests in a smaller area compared to round tables.
- Flexible layouts: Lightweight and foldable, they’re easy to rearrange for different setups.
- Versatility: Trestle tables can be dressed with tablecloths for formal events or left uncovered for a rustic look.
- Easy storage: When folded, trestle tables take up minimal storage space, making them a practical choice for event planners.
Compared to round tables, which foster intimate group settings but require more floor space, trestle tables are ideal for maximising capacity.


What chairs work best with trestle tables?
