Event property managers have a lot on their plates: juggling bookings, managing staff, and ensuring every event runs seamlessly. But one thing that\u2019s often overlooked until it\u2019s too late? The state of your chairs and tables. That\u2019s right\u2014your furniture could be quietly sabotaging your property\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it: no one wants to attend a wedding reception where the table wobbles every time someone picks up a glass of champagne. And as funny as it is in movies, a collapsing chair isn\u2019t a great way to endear guests to your venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some furniture can be repaired and function well for another five years or more. Other pieces will need replacement. Still others may still be under warranty, so if you\u2019re having problems with those, talk to our Customer Service team to explore your options. Attempting to repair furniture that\u2019s still under warranty could void the warranty if the repairs don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you know if it\u2019s time to allocate some budget for new furniture? We\u2019ve got you covered with this simple guide. With this guide and checklist, you can even assign staff members to do the tedious work of checking all furnishings according to your specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Spot the Warning Signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do a quick walkthrough of your venue and ask yourself the following questions about each piece of furniture. A team of employees can use this checklist to more rapidly assess the condition of furniture at your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chair Condition Checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Wobble Test:<\/strong> Do the legs feel uneven or unstable when you sit down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Creak Factor:<\/strong> Are your chairs auditioning for a horror movie with every squeak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Frame Appearance:<\/strong> Are there scratches or dents in the frame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Upholstery Check:<\/strong> Look for rips, stains, or any type of sticky residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Weight Limit Concerns:<\/strong> Are the frames bending or bowing under normal use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table Condition Checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Stability Check:<\/strong> Do the table legs or hinges feel loose? A wobbly table is a spill (and a lawsuit) waiting to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Surface Issues:<\/strong> Are there scratches, chips, or stains on surfaces or table legs? Scratches on linenless (laminate) tables are of particular concern since there won\u2019t be tablecloths to hide problem areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Warping:<\/strong> Look for uneven or warped table edges\u2014these can make even the fanciest place settings look sloppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2610 Edges:<\/strong> Are tabletop edges smooth or are they peeling or cracked? Rough surfaces will damage tablecloths or (worse yet) snag your guests\u2019 clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Make a List of Damaged Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to get hands-on. Walk around your property and start building a list of furniture that doesn\u2019t pass inspection. Some of this furniture can be repaired at your property, some may need cleaning, and some will need to be replaced. Here\u2019s how to make a checklist for a detailed furniture inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspecting Chairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your property will have more chairs than any other type of furniture. Go room by room, starting in the lobby or entry areas of your property and moving on to assembly rooms and furniture storage areas. Remember to assess the condition of outdoor furniture, benches, and lounge chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
