About this product

The ICB20005 is a nine-piece, flat-packing furniture set designed for trade shows, exhibitions, and temporary retail spaces. It includes one table and two stools that assemble entirely through friction-fit slots and tabs, requiring no tools, adhesives, or hardware.

Because the interlocking joints rely on exact material thickness, this set is typically cut from 16mm honeycomb or inverted corrugated board (ICB). The table features folded edge skirts to improve center-span stiffness, while the stools use an interlocking X-base for stability.

Event and Retail Display Roles

Trade show booths

Provides branded seating and meeting surfaces that pack down flat at the end of the event, reducing drayage and storage costs.

Pop-up retail

Functions as a temporary product display table with matching seating for staff or customers, allowing for fully printed, campaign-specific fixtures.

Product demonstration stations

Provides a stable, branded surface for hands-on product testing, with matching seating for extended customer engagement.

Temporary event registration

Serves as a lightweight check-in desk that can be quickly deployed and packed flat when the event concludes.

Where Flat-Pack Furniture Makes Sense

Event marketing teams

Reduces shipping volume compared to renting or transporting traditional furniture, while offering a complete canvas for brand graphics.

Retail merchandisers

Allows for lightweight, easily deployable floor fixtures that can be recycled after a seasonal promotion ends.

Exhibition organizers

Provides temporary, uniform seating and meeting areas that can be stored efficiently between different shows.

When to Consider Alternative Display Structures

Heavy industrial display

If the table needs to hold heavy machinery or dense product stacks, a reinforced pallet display or permanent fixture should be compared instead of rigid board.

Small parcel distribution

The 1.6-meter table top blank is too large for standard parcel networks without oversized surcharges. Consider smaller modular pedestals if parcel shipping is required.

Material, Routing, and Edge Finishing

Material thickness and joint fit

The CAD template is strictly tied to the board caliper, typically 16mm. Changing the board thickness requires recalculating all slot widths and tongue heights to maintain stability.

Edge finishing

Exposed honeycomb edges can be left raw for an industrial look or edge-banded and crushed for a cleaner, premium presentation.

Load testing

While designed for human seating and display weight, physical load testing with the exact production material is strongly recommended before finalizing commercial claims or large rollouts.

Print surface and graphic layout

Deciding whether to print on all outward-facing panels, including the table skirts and stool bases, to match the surrounding event graphics.

Adjusting Dimensions and Fit

Table and stool dimensions

Overall length, width, and height can be adjusted within the limits of the chosen board size and the flatbed router's cutting envelope.

Skirt depth

The folded edge skirts on the table top can be modified to change the visual profile or increase bending stiffness across the center span.

Stool seat shape

The square seat profile can be modified to a circle or custom contour as long as the central cross-slot remains intact.

Packing details

Flatbed routing and V-cuts

This structure requires CNC flatbed routing. The 90-degree folds on the table skirts rely on precise V-cuts, making standard die-cutting unfeasible for this thickness.

Additional notes

Board thickness and CAD adjustments

The structural integrity of this set relies on tight friction fits. If you switch from a 16mm board to a 10mm board, the CAD file must be updated so the slots match the new caliper, otherwise the furniture will be loose and unstable.

FAQs

How does the furniture set assemble?

The set uses a fully manual tab-and-slot method. The stool legs slide together to form an X-base, and the seat locks onto the top tabs. The table legs stand upright and slot directly into the main table top.

Can this be made from standard corrugated board?

Standard corrugated board will crush under human weight and lacks the rigidity for the table span. This set requires rigid materials like 16mm honeycomb board or Inverted Corrugated Board (ICB).

Does the table top fold for shipping?

The main panel of the table top remains flat, while the perimeter skirts fold down during assembly. The flat blank is quite large (often over 1.6 meters long), which requires palletized or freight shipping rather than standard parcel delivery.

How much weight can the table and stools hold?

Weight capacity depends entirely on the specific board grade, environmental humidity, and assembly quality. Physical load testing with the exact production material is necessary to determine safe limits.

Where can graphics be printed?

Because the components are cut from flat rigid board, all outward-facing surfaces, including the table top, skirts, stool seats, and leg panels, can be printed using large-format flatbed UV presses.

Are tools or adhesives required?

The friction-fit slots and tabs are designed to hold the structure together without glue or hardware, allowing for quick setup and teardown.

Can the table and stools be ordered separately?

While designed as a complete nine-piece set, the components are cut from separate flat blanks and can be configured as individual units depending on the event layout.

How are the exposed board edges treated?

Honeycomb board edges can be left raw for an industrial appearance or edge-banded and crushed during production for a cleaner finish.
