New to trade shows? Your table and chair setup can make or break your booth.
Here’s how to avoid rookie mistakes and look like a pro from day one.
Start with a Plan
Before booking rentals, ask:
- How much booth space do I have?
- Will I have staff seated or standing?
- Do I need space for product displays, meetings, or demos?
Table Rental Tips
| Table Type | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| 6–8 ft rectangle | Versatile for product displays |
| Cocktail table | Great for stand-up chats |
| Folding table | Easy to transport and rearrange |
Pro tip: Always request a fitted or branded table cover — it hides clutter and boosts your brand.
Chair Rental Tips
| Chair Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Tall stool | Ideal for booth staff visibility |
| Folding chair | Good for visitors or quick breaks |
| Padded chair | Use sparingly — too comfy = too long! |
Final Checklist
✅ Reserve early — inventory gets tight around big expos
✅ Match table and chair colors to your brand aesthetic
✅ Do a mock layout at home with tape and chairs to test flow
✅ Order 1–2 extra chairs — it’s cheap insurance
Conclusion
Trade shows are fast-paced — but a well-planned layout gives you breathing room and presence. Rent smart, and let your booth do the talking.
