Event and Retail Seating Applications
Trade Show and Event Booths
Provides functional, fully printable seating that avoids expensive furniture rentals and ships flat with the rest of the booth materials.
Retail Showrooms and Pop-Ups
Acts as a temporary consultation table or product display riser that matches the surrounding retail campaign graphics.
Temporary Hospitality Areas
Creates quick seating zones for VIP lounges or catering areas at outdoor events where permanent furniture is difficult to deliver.
Product Launch Activations
Provides branded consultation tables where brand ambassadors can interact with customers in public spaces.
Marketing and Display Environments
Event Marketing
Teams need seating that is easy to transport, quick to set up, and offers large branding opportunities across the table top and stool seats.
Retail Merchandising
Display managers use these sets to create interactive zones within a store without committing to heavy, permanent fixtures.
Experiential Agency Production
Agencies require flat-packing, fully printable furniture that can be shipped directly to the venue and assembled by local staff.
When to Consider Alternative Display Structures
Permanent Fixture Needs
If the seating will remain in place for years or face unpredictable public use, permanent wood or metal furniture is a more practical choice than temporary rigid board.
Mechanical Table Assembly
If the activation team cannot use adhesive on-site, a fully mechanical table design should be evaluated instead of this glued-top version.
Board, Routing, and Assembly Choices
Material Thickness and Slot Fit
The interlocking slots on the legs and stool tops are driven entirely by the board thickness. If you switch from a 16mm board to a 10mm board, the CAD file must be updated before routing so the joints remain tight.
Table Top Adhesive
The table top rests on a sub-panel structure and requires glue to stay attached. The assembly team must be prepared with the correct adhesive for the chosen board finish.
Load Testing
While thick rigid boards provide structure, the final stool capacity depends on the specific material grade and floor conditions. Physical load testing is strongly suggested before a public rollout.
Print and Edge Finishing
Deciding whether to print across the entire table surface and whether the raw board edges need banding for a cleaner look will affect the final production method.
Furniture Dimensions and Scaling
Table and Stool Dimensions
The table diameter, table height, and stool height can be adjusted to fit the available floor space or specific seating requirements.
Leg Profile and Cutouts
The shape of the cross-legs and the size of the base cutouts can be modified to change the aesthetic or adjust the center of gravity.
Sub-Panel Configuration
The under-table support panels can be adjusted to accommodate different table top shapes or to provide more surface area for the adhesive.
Packing details
Digital Cutting and Waste
Large circular table tops generate large amounts of offcut waste from rectangular board stock. Discussing nesting layouts with your converter can help manage material costs.
Transit Protection
Because the set ships flat, the exposed tabs on the stool legs and the edges of the table top need adequate outer packaging to protect the edges during freight or courier transit.
Additional notes
Edge Finishing and Branding
The large flat panels provide excellent surfaces for wide-format digital printing. Depending on the core material used, you may also want to discuss edge-banding options with your converter to hide the raw board edges.

FAQs
Do the stools require glue?
The stools assemble mechanically without adhesive. The intersecting legs feature top tabs that pass through a cross-shaped slot in the seat, locking it in place.
How is the table top attached?
The table top is a solid circle that rests on the cross-leg base and under-panels. It requires adhesive applied during on-site setup to remain attached.
Can this be made from standard corrugated board?
Standard corrugated board usually lacks the rigidity required for human seating. This set is typically routed from thick rigid board, such as 16mm Inverted Corrugated Board (ICB) or thick honeycomb board.
Does changing the board thickness affect the design?
The width of every interlocking slot is tied directly to the board thickness. If the material changes, the cutting file must be updated so the pieces fit together correctly.
Can this set be shipped via standard parcel networks?
The flat panels, especially a large table top, often exceed standard parcel dimensions. They usually require freight shipping or specialized oversize outer packaging to protect the edges and tabs during transit.
How much weight can the stools hold?
Weight capacity depends entirely on the chosen board grade, thickness, and environmental humidity. Physical load testing with the actual production material is necessary to confirm the final capacity.
Can the table top be printed with edge-to-edge graphics?
The flat circular top is well-suited for wide-format digital printing, allowing full brand coverage across the surface.
Are the stools reusable for multiple events?
This depends on the board grade and how carefully they are disassembled. While the mechanical joints allow for breakdown, repeated assembly can wear the slot edges over time.
