Using lightweight table bases can certainly add a little flexibility to your restaurant tables layout. The heavier you make your tables, the harder they become to quickly move around, especially for one person. If you need more than one person to move tables, you are using valuable resources that could be better deployed elsewhere, like moving other tables.

Pictured is a resin pedestal base that weighs in at only 13lbs. That is certainly lightweight when you consider cast iron bases can weigh more than 30lbs on their own. You then have to add the table top weight - and some of them can be quite hefty too. Keeping that combined weight down is what makes a table flexible enough to be moved at will.

Resin can be a good choice if you need the flexibility of having tables either indoors or outdoors. Resin is easy to keep clean, is scratch and chip resistant and is tolerant of most weather conditions. It also looks good being available in eight different colors (metal green shown).

Today’s modern restaurant needs to be flexible in its restaurant tables layout. If you have a large group arrive that wants to dine together, you need to be able to move two or more tables together quickly. Having lightweight restaurant tables makes the task easy - even for one person, and means the tables can put together (and moved apart) quickly with little disturbance to other diners.
