Portable Lightweight Folding Tables Make Great Tables for Craft Shows

Lightweight folding tables can make life at craft fairs that little bit easier.

If you've ever had a stall at a craft fair or show and tables haven't been provided (or even if they have but aren't big enough) you'll know that one of the biggest banes of the show is transporting everything from your car (or other mode of transport) to your pitch ~ and then doing the reverse at the end of the event.

Portable lightweight folding tables come into their own at this point as they provide a sturdy, stable work surface for you that weighs around the same as a small suitcase. Many have carry handles making them easy to carry, and a simple open out assembly means they are ready to use in seconds.

For ultimate convenience some models also have adjustable height legs ~ great if you want to have displays on different levels.

 A 4 foot folding table is perfect for a side display or a smaller front display at a craft fair.

The choices in 4ft tables include the Coleman Pack-Away Folding Table which has a aluminium frame capable of supporting 300lbs making it perfect for camping as well as craft fairs. It has adjustable height of 14" or 27" and has convenient carry handles which altogether make this a great all-rounder folding table.

Alternatively there is the Lifetime Prod. Inc Folding table which also has a carry handle and adjustable height settings from 22" ot 36" making it perfect for providing a taller back display.

 A 6ft lightweight folding table gives much more surface space to work on and is often the perfect size, mid way between the slightly too small 4ft table and the 8ft table which is often too big for smaller pitches at craft shows.

The 6ft lightweight plastic folding table by Pop Deals gives a good value choice. It isn't adjustable but does have a carry handle making it easier to transport.

The 6ft Centrefold table by Office Stars looks like another good option. It weighs in at 23lbs and can support 300lbs making it ideal for all types of use.

 By the time you get to 8ft 'lightweight' becomes a bit of a relative term, however there are still some good options available.

Craft fairs are great fun but can be a bit daunting for first timers, so this How to Prepare for a Craft Fair Survival Guide might be useful.

Many people (who don't do craft fairs) think that attending one is as simple as packing the same stuff up each time and throwing it in the car, while those who do them regularly know that there is a lot more to it than that. Selling items at a craft fair is a art, and whatever you're selling there are suggestions in the Tips on Selling Handmade Cards at Craft Fairs than could be applied to any product.

Finally, no matter what you make, it's always useful to know where to find Cheap Craft Supplies.
