Buying dining furniture for your school is a big investment, so it is important that you achieve a solution that best meets your needs.
School dining halls are often multiuse spaces that are central to a variety of different activities, such as assemblies, PE lessons, parent’s evenings and school fayres. So, when looking to furnish this key area of the school – flexibility is essential.
During lunchtime school dining halls are busy spaces that need to accommodate a large number of children. Mobile folding dining furniture is ideal because it is robust, durable and space-saving.
We have put together a useful dining furniture buying guide.
What to Consider Before Buying
Before buying dining furniture, it is important to consider the following key factors:
• Available budget
• Age range of the children
• Maximum number of children to be seated at any one time
• Space restrictions and movement of traffic around the dining hall (Entrances, exits, queue lines etc.)
• Storage requirements (Will the tables be left in situ? Do they need to be stored inbetween use? If so, what storage is available?)
• Intended use – dining only or parent’s evenings, school fayres, etc.
