I’m a sucker for the temptations of easy stow-ability. In fact, I’ve been tricked by many an ironing board into thinking that folding them down and storing them away was no great shakes, only to be drawn down into a protracted tussle that ends with me once more dragging the many-legged creature out to the garage. Easy avoidance of this kind of debacle is just one draw of Ki’s smart and simple series of Uniframe Tables.

Ki’s Uniframe Tables Promise Quick and Safe Transformation of any Educational Venue

The ironing board anecdote should serve to illustrate how frustrating it is when the promised “folding” table or chair doesn’t behave as advertised. And though the mechanical forces of the universe may conspire to disrupt even the most seamless folding apparatus, Ki’s Uniframe Tables are 99.99% guaranteed to perform.

The series of round multi-use tables have several built-in functions that allow users (and slight users at that) to fold them down into two halves, roll them off of or onto the scene, and secure them until their services are next required.

The Uniframe Tables feature a safe central hinge design that can be released only when users reach beneath the table and disengage a bar style lock. The gap formed at the center is large enough to guarantee pinch-free operation. They also offer a pneumatic lift assist for greater control over folding; an automatic storage lock engagement to keep tables in the folded position during transport; durable, carriage bolt attachment of accompanying seating; and adjustable rising casters to keep weight off the wheels when the tables are stored.

Ki’s Uniframe Tables come in multiple sizes: the round version offers diameters of four, five, and six feet; while the oval incarnation comes in a five by six version. Featuring all steel frames and thermoset plastic or polypropylene tops, they come in multiple colors and finish styles.
