LIFETIME INTRODUCES AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE COMPETITION

June 11, 2000

CLEARFIELD, Utah -- Lifetime Products, Inc., leader in the folding table industry, introduces a line of folding tables that are tailored for the commercial market, while costing less than all other comparable tables.

As the dominant brand in the consumer industry, Lifetime is broadening its office offerings to meet the needs of rigorous industrial use. Advantage Commercial Folding Tables exceed challenging BIFMA standards for safety, durability and structural adequacy, and are priced around 50 percent less than competing ABS tables.

"Lifetime has produced a folding table that has excelled in whatever channel of distribution it has been placed," says Eric Szymanski associate manager of Market Research. "Our original table, which is the best-selling folding table available at retail, has been fine-tuned for the demands of the commercial industry, and is being offered at a compelling price."

Advantage tabletops are blow-molded of high-density polyethylene and are stronger, lighter and more durable than wood. They will not chip, crack or peel, and can be used indoors or out.

The improved frame design integrates the perimeter channels, center supports, and legs to create a sturdier and more stable foundation. This leg-to-table connection prevents the bracing from being ripped from the tabletop, a common occurrence with wood tables.

"The leg-to-table connection is a feature offered only by Lifetime. This connection gives our table a longer life," says Clint Morris, sales manager for Lifetime Products. "All other manufacturers attach the legs and bracing directly to the underside of the table. In time, the bolts are stripped from the wood and the table is destroyed."

Lifetime's Advantage Commercial Folding Tables are backed by a five-year manufacturer's warranty and are made in the USA.
