About this product

The ICB20102 is a knock-down, rigid-board bar table designed for events, trade shows, and retail tasting stations. Standing at a standard counter height, it provides a functional, weight-bearing surface that ships completely flat and assembles on-site without tools.

Built from thick honeycomb or inverted corrugated board (ICB), the table uses four interlocking legs and three stabilizer shelves to create a sturdy base. A double-layered top conceals the structural joints, leaving a smooth, uninterrupted surface for branding and interaction.

Event and Retail Applications

Trade Show and Event Counters

Useful for temporary events where shipping heavy wooden furniture is cost-prohibitive. The table packs flat for easy transport and can be fully printed with event branding. The three intermediate shelves offer discreet storage for brochures or supplies.

Retail Tasting Stations

Provides a stable, approachable surface for supermarket sampling or pop-up retail. The 16mm rigid board construction resists wobbling, while the solid upper top panel ensures a clean presentation area.

Pop-Up Shop Checkout Desks

Acts as a temporary transaction counter for short-term retail spaces. The flat-pack design allows for rapid deployment, and the shelves provide space for bags or payment terminals.

Product Demonstration Stands

Offers a dedicated, branded surface for demonstrating electronics, cosmetics, or new product lines. The double-layered top hides the structural joints, keeping the focus on the product.

Who Uses Flat-Pack Furniture

Event Marketers

Event teams need furniture that is lightweight enough for staff to carry but sturdy enough to look professional. This table bridges the gap, offering a rigid structure that sets up in minutes without hardware.

Retail Merchandisers

For short-term retail rollouts, this table acts as a freestanding product riser or interaction point. It can be produced digitally in short runs, allowing for localized or campaign-specific graphics.

Experiential Marketing Agencies

Agencies building temporary, immersive brand activations require custom-printed, easy-to-ship furniture. The fully printable surface area allows the table to blend into a themed environment.

When to Consider Alternative Displays

Bulk Product Containment

If the goal is to hold loose, jumbled merchandise, a standard dump bin is a better choice. This table is designed for surface interaction and displaying a few select items, not for bulk volume.

Heavy Equipment Display

If the display needs to support heavy machinery, dense metal parts, or large liquid containers, a reinforced pallet display or permanent wooden fixture is safer than a friction-fit board table.

Material and Finishing Choices

Securing the Top Panel

The table features a slotted lower top that locks into the legs, and a solid upper top that covers the joints. You must decide whether the upper top will be pre-glued at the factory (creating a thicker, single-piece top) or shipped loose to be secured with double-sided tape on-site.

Edge Finishing and Moisture Protection

Because the table rests directly on the floor, the bottom edges of the legs are exposed to scuffing and potential moisture. Consider adding edge banding or plastic feet if the table will be used on wet floors or needs to survive multiple events.

Board Thickness

The structure relies on 16mm rigid board (like honeycomb or heavy-duty ICB) for its stability. Thinner boards will reduce the weight capacity and lateral strength.

Graphic Layout and Print Coverage

Decide whether to print the legs, shelves, and top, or leave some components blank to reduce ink usage. A fully printed base draws attention, while a plain base with a printed top focuses the eye upward.

Modifying the Table Dimensions

Height and Diameter

The overall height and the diameter of the top surface can be adjusted. However, increasing the height or top diameter without widening the leg stance may increase the risk of tipping.

Leg Profile

The default hourglass curve of the legs can be modified to straight lines or custom shapes to match brand aesthetics, provided the central interlocking slots remain intact.

Shelf Count and Spacing

The three intermediate shelves can be reduced to two or spaced differently to accommodate specific storage needs beneath the table, though altering them changes the overall rigidity of the base.

Packing details

Assembly Sequence

Assembly requires sliding the three circular shelves into the four vertical legs to lock the base. The slotted lower top is then seated onto the leg tabs, and the solid upper top is applied last. It is best assembled by two people to align the slots smoothly.

Additional notes

Repeated Assembly Wear

Friction joints can fray and compress if the table is assembled and disassembled many times. For multi-event use, edge banding the slots can improve durability.

FAQs

How much weight can the table hold?

Weight capacity depends entirely on the specific grade of 16mm honeycomb or ICB board used. While the vertical leg columns provide strong downward support, the table must be physically tested with your expected load before a rollout.

Is the table waterproof?

Standard rigid boards will wick moisture if exposed to spills or wet floors. If used for beverage tasting, the top panel should be laminated or sealed, and the feet should be protected.

Does it require tools to build?

No tools are required for the base. The legs and shelves slide together using friction slots. However, the solid upper top panel usually requires double-sided tape to stay securely attached to the lower top.

How is the table shipped?

It is supplied as 9 flat pieces (knock-down). Because the top panels can be up to 700mm wide, the components require a large outer corrugated shipper for protection during transit.

Can this be made from standard corrugated board?

No. Standard corrugated board is too thin and flexible for this design. It requires 16mm rigid board, which is cut on digital CNC routers rather than traditional die-cutting machines.

Can I change the number of legs?

Yes, the template can be adjusted for 3, 4, 5, or 6 legs, though 4 is the standard balance of stability and assembly ease.

Can the table be reused for multiple events?

Yes, but friction joints can wear down and compress if the table is assembled and disassembled many times. Edge banding the slots or handling the parts carefully extends its usable life.

Do the intermediate shelves hold weight?

They add structural stability to the legs and can hold light items like brochures or spare stock, but they are not meant for heavy loads.
