How many pounds can a plastic table hold?

We introduced our NES Reliable Plastic Folding Tables in Toronto more than 6 years ago and the response we have been getting from our customers has been truly amazing. While we have always known our tables are of substantially better quality than you will find with Canadian Tire folding tables or Walmart folding tables, we have never really done a good job of communicating this to our customers.

I realized that we needed to do a better job explaining why our tables are better than those you'd get at a big box store when I received a call from a prospective customer asking for some detailed information about our 3ft square plastic folding card tables. This gentleman insisted that the legs for our 3ft square plastic folding card table should NOT have legs that fold in pairs. He said he had purchased a Canadian Tire Folding Card table that had legs that fold in pairs and he said "the table was crap." Knowing that our NES Reliable Plastic folding tables were not the same 'crappy' quality as you might find at Canadian Tire, I proceeded to try to explain over the phone just how great our folding card table is. Needless to say, this gentleman never bought and I decided we had to do a better job of showing the strength and capabilities of our 3ft Square Folding Card tables. We did this when I tried to break our 3ft Square Folding card table by loading it with more than 1,100lbs of salt on top of the table.

We have done this and other stress tests to show what it takes to break our plastic folding tables. In each of the tests that we have done, we have never indicated what the weight rating was for the tables. When we realised this, we decided it was time we put together a list of the weight ratings that we have for all of our plastic folding tables.

We believe the capabilities of our NES Reliable line of plastic folding tables are comparable to the commercial quality of Lifetime folding tables and better than Costco folding tables but have not done any of our own in-house tests yet. Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months as we start to do some stress tests on Lifetime folding tables, Costco folding tables, and of course Canadian Tire and Walmart folding tables.

Last year, we started making videos where we stressed tables and chairs to the breaking point. We've tested our 6-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table and our 8-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. We've put an 8-ft NES Rectangular Wood Folding Table to the test. This year we hope to test some of our round tables to show just how strong they are. We're also going to be testing some of our competitors' table to see how they stack up against the tables that we offer.

Today we're going to be putting a Lifetime Table to the test. Lifetime manufactures and sells tables, chairs, and a host of other products. We're going to be testing the Lifetime 6-foot commercial plastic folding table and comparing it to our NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table. On paper, the Lifetime Table looks to be the stronger table as it is rated for 2000 pounds of weight evenly distributed across the top, while our NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table is only rated for 1000 pounds. However, in a previous stress test, the NES Reliable 6-foot Rectangular Plastic Folding Table managed to hold over 2500 ounds before failing. How will the Lifetime folding table stack up against our 6-foot commercial plastic folding table? Let's find out!
