Folding & Activity Tables — Expert Answer
What folding tables do professional caterers use?
Professional caterers are among the most demanding folding table users — tables must look professional (for client-visible events), withstand heavy loads (full serving dishes, equipment), be quick to set up and break down, and store efficiently in catering trucks. Commercial-grade 6-foot and 8-foot rectangular laminate-top tables are the standard. For buffet and carving station setups, 8-foot tables at 30" height are preferred. For cocktail receptions, high-top round tables (30" diameter, 42" height) add visual interest. Table carts allow caterers to transport and store many tables in minimal space.
