How Do Mity Lite Round Folding Tables Compare to Lifetime Round Tables?


Key Features of Mity Lite Round Folding Tables:

We will first analyze the Mity Lite brand of folding table. Mity Lite has a different target market than Lifetime Products. Mity Lite tends to target a market that is more commercial or industrial, whereas Lifetime Products is more of a home or banquet setting. Because of this distinction, they publishes a weight capacity of their tables, which most of the time exceeds 1,600 lbs. of evenly distributed weight. Their round folding tables have legs that begin attached closer to the center of the table. From there, the legs come straight down and eventually spread out as they touch the floor. This design creates great stability in the table as well as strength to support additional weight on the top of the table. These tables also feature a standard 3/4" table top thickness, which should easily be adaptable to most table skirts. Also, due to their more commercial nature, Mity Lite round folding tables come with a 12 year factory warranty.

Key Features of Lifetime Round Tables:

Lifetime Products has a similar product to Mity Lite round tables, but with a different intended use and a different market. Lifetime round tables are better used in a home or church setting, where you do not foresee abusive use. These folding tables are not going to break over night, but their intended use is more for family get togethers or church gatherings. Lifetime Products does not publish a weight capacity for their tables because they are not built to be heavy weight bearing tables. The leg design is significantly different from Mity Lite's design in that the legs are not joined in the center, but come straight down in what would be the four corners of a square table. This sort of design has easy leg access and even table-top height in mind. On larger Lifetime round tables - those 60" in diameter and larger - they feature an "H-bracket" that attaches the two legs on either side of the table together, which provides strength in the table. Because of their design and intended use, Lifetime round tables come with a 10 year factory warranty.

So which one is right for you?

Both of these brands of table have the same blow-molded table-top material, and both have a steel frame and leg construction. This type of comparison will likely be futile. Probably then, the best place to start out in answering this question is to ask yourself, "Does weight capacity matter to me?" To answer this, if the question "Do I need to support 1600 lbs. or 2000 lbs." is answered by you saying "Probably 400 lbs.", then weight capacity probably does not matter to you. In this case, Lifetime Products would be your best option. Lifetime round plastic tables are more than enough for your intended use. If you realize you need that extra weight capacity of Mity Lite tables, then you need to check your budget. While Mity Lite tables are worth every penny you pay, expect to pay anywhere between $100 and $200 more per round folding table for Mity Lite products.
