Reader Picks » Lightweight Folding Tables-The Tops

Southern Aluminum lightweight folding banquet table Executive Assistant Manager and Director of Food & Beverage Donna Robinson at the recently opened Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center, has an undeniably fresh perspective on the huge challenges of opening a facility. "We were so busy," Robinson says, "we were just running." Prior to the December 20, 2005, inauguration, one week alone included the arrival of many tons of equipment.

From the word "go," Southern Aluminum's Alulite folding tables and chairs made their presence appreciated. "We faced the delivery of over 1,900 tables including 30-inch by 6-foot tables, 72-inch rounds, as well as schoolroom and decorative tables–everything they make– and yet we were unpacked and setting up in just hours. Remember–1,900 tables," Robinson says. "Southern Aluminum's reps stayed and helped out for the whole week. They were amazing."

The Hyatt's staff strongly favors Southern Aluminum, too. "At what feels like a quarter of the weight of standard wooden products, the Southern Aluminum tables allow for quicker set times, as well as less stress and strain on the employees. We've already done many 15-minute turns in the convention rooms, and the staff just loves them."

In addition to Southern Aluminum's obvious devotion, Robinson reports the tables came "at a really good price and with a pretty incredible 15-year warranty."–BM
