- What is polyethylene and why is it better than wood?
- Polyethylene is a high-density plastic that is virtually indestructible. It will not chip, crack or peel like particleboard laminates. Lifetime's polyethylene tables provide some significant advantages over wooden tables: lightweight but durable, stain resistant, and weather resistant.
- What are BIFMA commercial grade standards?
- BIFMA stands for Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing Association. BIFMA sets industry standards for commercial grade furniture. Most Lifetime products exceed all BIFMA standards.
- Where can I purchase a Lifetime table?
- Visit the Where to Buy page for a list of some of the major retailers who carry our products in-store, as well as those who sell Lifetime products online.
- What makes the steel legs on a Lifetime table or chair weather-resistant?
- Lifetime uses a powder coating process on its steel which coats a bare metal object with electro-statically charged powder. It is then baked at a high temperature. Powder coating is the most durable coloring process on the market. It is better than traditional paints. Lifetime also adds a hammer-tone finish which is a textured powder-coating finish that is better and more durable than smooth powder since it is resistant to scratches.
- Will a Lifetime table fade outdoors?
- All products left out in the sun for extended periods of time will eventually fade. However, Lifetime tables have UV inhibitors that help prevent fading and maintain the integrity of the polyethylene when exposed to sunlight providing years of color.
- How much weight can a Lifetime table hold?
- Most Lifetime tables meet BIFMA standards for strength and durability.
- Does Lifetime Products make carts for tables or chairs?
- Yes. These carts are available through online retail stores.
- How many tables does the cart hold?
- 10 banquet style tables or seven 5ft. round tables.
- How many chairs can a Lifetime chair cart hold?
- The Lifetime Chair Cart can hold up to 32 folding chairs.
- Where is the model number on the table or chair that I need to register my product?
- Often the model number will be stated on the product label near the UPC. If you no longer have your label, contact the Lifetime Customer Service department for assistance in determining which model you purchased.
- How do I remove the product's adhesive label?
- To remove adhesive labels without harming the finish on your product, rub vegetable cooking oil into the label. This softens the adhesive enough so that you can lift the label off of the product. After the label is removed, wash away the excess oil with a cloth using warm water and dish soap. If any adhesive remains on the product, we suggest using a non-scratching pad, like Scotch Brite or Dobie to remove it.
- How do I clean a Lifetime table?
- We recommend cleaning the surfaces of our tables and chairs with mild dish soap and a damp cloth. For greasy food residues, use a mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub, and a soft-bristled brush or non-scratching pad. For automotive grease, use a de-greasing cleanser.
- Will a Lifetime table stain?
- Lifetime tables and chairs are made from high-density Polyethylene (HDPE), which is resistant to most organic stains. But oil, grease, and wax-based residues may not wipe off with just soap and water. We recommend using non-scratching pads, such as Scotch Brite or Dobie, or a mild abrasive cleaner, such as Soft Scrub.
