Product Overview: 12-Seater Rectangular Secondary Dining System

Optimise your academy's floor space without compromising on student comfort. This 12-person rectangular unit eliminates the noise and safety hazards of loose furniture, offering a high-capacity, organised dining station that facilitates rapid deployment and effortless storage in high-traffic environments.

The Cobolt Advantage

  • Maximum Seating Density: By seating twelve students on a single mobile unit, this table is the ultimate solution for high-volume institutions. It significantly reduces the number of units required to be deployed, shortening transition times between sittings.
  • Precision Safety Logistics: Despite its 3-metre operating length, the unit nests into a slim vertical profile that glides through standard 1980mm internal doorways. The counter-balanced mechanism ensures safe, single-handed operation for site staff.
  • Industrial-Grade Hygiene: The 18mm high-density MDF core is moisture-resistant and capped with a high-pressure laminate. This non-porous construction is specifically built to withstand the humidity and frequent spills of a busy secondary canteen.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Bespoke Faculty Mapping: Select from 14 tabletop finishes and 11 vibrant stool colours. This allows you to coordinate with school houses, branding, or specific departmental zones to create a professional, structured dining area.
  • Minimalist Maintenance: Integrated stools remove the "clutter zones" associated with traditional chairs. The open-frame design allows janitorial teams to sanitise both the unit and the floor beneath it up to 50% faster than loose furniture setups.
  • Circular Economy Commitment: In alignment with green procurement goals, this unit is 100% recyclable. At the end of its extensive service life, the steel, timber, and plastic components can be ethically repurposed.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Free Mainland UK Delivery: Every purchase includes our premier Gold Delivery Service. We handle the heavy lifting and transport at no extra cost, ensuring your budget is focused on equipment, not carriage.
  • 50 Years of Mastery: We leverage half a century of commercial B2B expertise to supply furniture that genuinely survives the relentless daily punishment of the British education sector.
  • 16-Year Weld Guarantee: Reflecting the superior quality of our British-welded steel frames, we offer an industry-leading 16-year warranty on all structural welds and moving mechanisms.

Ideal Environments for the 12-Stool 11+ Dining Hub

This 735mm height unit is the definitive solution for Secondary School Canteens, Sixth Form Colleges, and University Breakout Spaces where seating capacity is paramount. Its linear rectangular design is perfect for creating long, organised rows of seating, making it equally effective for Community Training Centres.

Key Features

  • 735mm Adult-Height Surface — Ergonomically scaled for students aged 11+ and adults to ensure a comfortable and healthy dining posture.
  • 3080mm Linear Footprint — Maximises seating density while maintaining clear, safe walkways for effective staff supervision.
  • Heavy-Duty Locking Castors — Non-marking wheels that glide across school floors and lock firmly to prevent drifting during busy lunch periods.
  • Standard Doorway Clearance — Folds into a slim profile that passes through standard 1980mm internal doors for effortless transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can a single staff member safely fold and move a table of this size?

A: Yes. Despite the 3080mm length, the counter-balanced folding mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the 88kg table glides smoothly on heavy-duty castors.

2. Will this table fit through standard internal school doors?

A: Yes. When folded, the unit is engineered to pass through a standard doorway (1980mm), allowing for effortless transport through school corridors and halls.

3. Why should we choose the 12-stool version over the 8-stool model?

A: The 12-stool model is the most space-efficient option for high-capacity institutions. It allows you to seat 50% more students per unit, reducing the total number of tables needed to be deployed and stored.

4. Is the 735mm height appropriate for secondary school students?

A: Absolutely. The 735mm height is the adult standard, perfectly suited for students aged 11+, university learners, and staff dining areas.

5. How do we ensure the table doesn't fold while students are eating?

A: The unit features a mechanical Open-Position Safety Lock. Once deployed, this lock prevents the table from moving back into the storage position until manually released by a staff member.

6. Is the table surface resistant to moisture and staining?

A: Yes. The high-pressure laminate and water-resistant MDF core are designed to withstand frequent spills and heavy-duty daily sanitisation without swelling or warping.

7. Can we choose a different colour for every stool?

A: Yes. With 11 stool colours available, you can mix and match per table to help with house-group organisation or to create a vibrant, multi-coloured canteen aesthetic.

8. What exactly does the 16-year warranty cover?

A: The 16-year commercial warranty specifically covers the structural integrity of all steel welds and the entire internal folding and locking mechanism—the most critical moving components.

Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can a single staff member safely fold and move a table of this size?

A: Yes. Despite the 3080mm length, the counter-balanced folding mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the 88kg table glides smoothly on heavy-duty castors.

2. Will this table fit through standard internal school doors?

A: Yes. When folded, the unit is engineered to pass through a standard doorway (1980mm), allowing for effortless transport through school corridors and halls.

3. Why should we choose the 12-stool version over the 8-stool model?

A: The 12-stool model is the most space-efficient option for high-capacity institutions. It allows you to seat 50% more students per unit, reducing the total number of tables needed to be deployed and stored.

4. Is the 735mm height appropriate for secondary school students?

A: Absolutely. The 735mm height is the adult standard, perfectly suited for students aged 11+, university learners, and staff dining areas.

5. How do we ensure the table doesn't fold while students are eating?

A: The unit features a mechanical Open-Position Safety Lock. Once deployed, this lock prevents the table from moving back into the storage position until manually released by a staff member.

6. Is the table surface resistant to moisture and staining?

A: Yes. The high-pressure laminate and water-resistant MDF core are designed to withstand frequent spills and heavy-duty daily sanitisation without swelling or warping.

7. Can we choose a different colour for every stool?

A: Yes. With 11 stool colours available, you can mix and match per table to help with house-group organisation or to create a vibrant, multi-coloured canteen aesthetic.

8. What exactly does the 16-year warranty cover?

A: The 16-year commercial warranty specifically covers the structural integrity of all steel welds and the entire internal folding and locking mechanism—the most critical moving components.
