A tilt top table is the ideal solution for dining rooms multi-use classrooms and temporary events. With a simple to operate folding mechanism and lightweight construction it has never been quicker or easier to make space especially at such good value. Experts at Metalliform have specially selected materials that will last for years without faltering - without the fancy extras and unnecessary mark-up that most schools cant afford.DesignEach table is 710mm in height making them ideal for children aged 11-14. For optimal comfort posture and lumbar support however it is important to select chairs that suit this height; in this case chairs with a seat height of www.ypo.co.uk/products/furniture/seating/classroom-seating/classroom-polypropylene-chairs430mm. In doing so not only will children avoid pain and poor posture during long periods of sitting but your classroom furniture will also comply with BS EN 1729:2016.Tilt top tables are designed for those who aspire to save space. They are commonly used in dining rooms which in many schools double as a PE area performance area or assembly hall. Of course any multi-use room can benefit from the convenient mobility and space-saving design but as the tables have a large surface area they are best in spaces where large groups will sit together.When standing the frame uses a metal T bar to lock in place creating a sturdy and reliable tabletop that cant be accidentally titled. To put the table down simply unhooking the bar and tucking it away will allow the table to tilt which can easily be performed by all ages and abilities. The lightweight construction removes all effort from manoeuvring the table assisted by the 4 castors that will lock for safe storage and use. These tables are designed with an oval shape that facilitates groupwork and socialising yet doesnt define a space for each pupil as tables with more rigid geometry would. This means there is no limit to the number of children that can fit around the table which is helpful for accommodating larger groups of children so new friends can be made and nobody is left out. The elongated midsection of an oval table also allows several separate groups to have different conversations around the same table yet equally provides the opportunity for the different groups to socialise with one another. This gives children the opportunity to socialise with those different to them encouraging tolerance and the chance to discover more about themselves and others. Something as simple as table shape can have a surprising impact on the happiness and social health of pupils but an oval table can discourage clique-like behaviour and enable all children to make new friends.ConstructionEach of these tables is constructed using 18mm thick MDF with a high-pressure laminate finish. This provides an inexpensive yet durable and smooth surface which makes the table both stylish and functional in a learning environment. This is accompanied by polished and lacquered MDF bullnose edges which add to the aesthetic whilst simultaneously providing protection against chipping and other accidental damage over time. This is again an effective yet inexpensive solution compared to alternatives as is the steel square tube frame which compromises neither on style nor function. The frame has been fully welded to keep the table intact throughout frequent use or movement and incorporates a strong steel underframe for strength and stability far greater than a standard table can offer.The tables stay in position using the T bar that locks to the underside of the tabletop which has been positioned strategically to support all sides of the table. The 4 lockable castors will also keep the table sturdy whether in use or in storage to ensure complete safety of your pupils. With this combination of features we can proudly offer a 5 year guarantee to help you shop with confidence.Dimensions710mm x 1610mm x 900mm (H x W x D)PersonalisationChoose from the following options: Top Colour: Beech; Maple; Ailsa; Light Grey; White; Blue; Green; Red; YellowSupplied with 4 locking castors.
