Table and Chair Setup and Takedown Service — The Crew Handles Everything So You Don't Have to Arrive Early or Stay Late
This service cannot be booked online. You must call to add it to your order.
Call (817) 800-8618
Standard table and chair delivery means the crew drops everything off stacked and the host sets it up. The setup and takedown service means the crew unfolds and places every table and every chair before guests arrive — and comes back at the end to fold and stack everything for pickup. At $1.25 per piece, this is not a flat service fee. It is $1.25 per individual table plus $1.25 per individual chair. An event with 10 tables and 60 chairs has 70 pieces — setup and takedown costs $87.50. An event with 20 tables and 160 chairs has 180 pieces — $225. The cost is proportional to what the crew actually handles. Browse the full table and chair rental lineup to plan your table and chair order before adding setup and takedown service.
Standard delivery without setup service still requires that chairs are folded and stacked before pickup — without this service, the host or their crew is responsible for folding every chair at the end of the event. With the takedown service, that responsibility transfers to our crew. For events where the host and their team will be occupied with guests at breakdown time — or where there is no volunteer crew available to handle setup the morning of the event — the $1.25 per piece service removes both obligations completely. Customers in Waxahachie and Cleburne running church anniversary dinners, corporate outdoor events, and large community gatherings with limited volunteer support consistently add setup and takedown service to their orders — the math makes sense when the alternative is coordinating a setup crew the morning of a large event.
This service must be booked by phone — call (817) 800-8618. When booking, confirm the total piece count (total tables plus total chairs) so the crew arrives prepared. Do not book online — the system requires a phone call to add this service correctly to your order.

8FT TABLES NOTE
Heavier and longer than 6ft — setup service especially worth considering for 8ft tables
How to calculate your setup and takedown quantity:
Count your total tables. Count your total chairs. Add them together. That is your quantity.
Example: 15 tables + 120 chairs = 135 pieces × $1.25 = $168.75 total for setup and takedown
Booking note: This service is not available for online self-booking. Call (817) 800-8618 and our team will add it to your order at the correct quantity. Have your table count and chair count ready when you call.
The Math: When Setup and Takedown Service Pays for Itself
Small Event — 40 to 60 Guests
8 tables + 48 chairs = 56 pieces. Setup and takedown: $70. This eliminates the need to arrive 45 to 60 minutes early to set up and coordinate 2 to 3 volunteers for chair folding at the end of the night. For a host managing the whole event alone, $70 buys back that time and eliminates that stress.
Medium Event — 80 to 120 Guests
15 tables + 90 chairs = 105 pieces. Setup and takedown: $131.25. At an event this size, setting up 105 pieces requires a dedicated crew of 3 to 4 people working for 45 to 60 minutes. Without the service, that crew time has to come from somewhere — volunteers, family members, or paid staff. $131.25 replaces all of it.
Large Event — 150 to 200 Guests
25 tables + 160 chairs = 185 pieces. Setup and takedown: $231.25. At this scale, setup without the service takes 60 to 90 minutes and requires 4 to 6 people working simultaneously. For a 150-person church banquet or community gala, the setup service is often the most practical decision in the entire event budget relative to what it saves in volunteer coordination and event-morning logistics.
Who Should Add Setup and Takedown Service
Large Events With Limited Volunteer Support
Church events, community galas, and nonprofit fundraisers where the planning team is fully occupied with other event logistics the morning of the event. When the person responsible for table setup is also managing catering, parking, registration, and décor, adding a setup crew at $1.25 per piece is the most efficient decision in the planning process.
Events Using 8ft Tables
Eight-foot tables are longer and heavier than six-foot tables. Setting up and breaking down 20 or more 8ft tables is physical work that takes more time and requires more people than the same number of 6ft tables. For events with a high 8ft table count, setup and takedown service removes a meaningful logistical burden from the day of the event.
Corporate Events Where Professionalism Matters
At corporate events, arriving to a venue where setup is already complete — tables in position, chairs in place, layout exactly as planned — signals professionalism. The alternative is guests arriving to a space mid-setup, which is the opposite signal. For corporate events where first impressions matter, setup service ensures the space is ready before anyone arrives.
Events Where End-of-Night Chair Folding Is Impractical
Without setup and takedown service, all chairs must be folded and stacked before the driver arrives for pickup. At the end of a long event with 100 chairs, asking guests or a tired volunteer crew to fold and stack chairs is often impractical. The takedown portion of this service eliminates that obligation entirely — the crew handles it as part of the service.
School Events Where Custodial Support Is Limited
School carnivals, graduation events, and PTO fundraisers where custodial staff are not available for setup assistance benefit specifically from having a professional crew handle the furniture. We handle vendor approval for schools and can coordinate setup timing with your event schedule.
When You Don't Need Setup Service
If your event has a reliable volunteer crew of 3 to 4 people available for setup and you are comfortable managing chair folding at breakdown — standard delivery without the setup service works fine. The service is for events where that volunteer crew does not exist or where the host's time on event day is better spent on other logistics.
Add Tables and Chairs to Your Order Alongside Setup Service
1 table + 6 chairs = 7 pieces. Setup and takedown: $8.75 per package. The most common package + setup combination for backyard and community events.
1 table + 8 chairs = 9 pieces. Setup and takedown: $11.25 per package. For large formal events running black 8ft tables where setup efficiency and professionalism matter most.
1 table + 8 chairs (if ordered separately) = 9 pieces. Round tables with setup service are a popular combination at quinceañeras where the reception layout needs to be perfect before guests arrive.
Browse the full lineup to plan your table and chair order. Count your total tables and chairs — that count is your setup and takedown service quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Table and Chair Setup Service
Is $1.25 the total cost for all my tables and chairs, or $1.25 per piece?
$1.25 per individual piece — not a flat total. Each table counts as one piece. Each chair counts as one piece. Count your total tables and chairs, add them together, and multiply by $1.25. If you have 10 tables and 80 chairs, that is 90 pieces at $1.25 each = $112.50 for complete setup and takedown of your entire furniture order.
Can I book the setup and takedown service online?
No. This service must be booked by phone. Call (817) 800-8618 and our team will add it to your order at the correct quantity. Have your total table count and total chair count ready when you call so we can confirm the correct piece total for your order.
Does setup service include takedown, or are they separate charges?
Both setup and takedown are included in the $1.25 per piece price. The crew places everything before the event and breaks everything down at the end. You are not charged separately for setup and then again for takedown — it is one combined service charge at $1.25 per piece covering both actions.
If I don't add setup service, do I still need to fold the chairs myself?
Yes. Standard delivery without setup service means the driver drops off all furniture stacked and the host handles setup. At pickup, all chairs must be folded and stacked before the driver arrives — this is a firm requirement for every chair order. The takedown portion of the setup service transfers that responsibility to our crew. Without the service, the host or their team must fold and stack all chairs before the pickup window.
