Product Overview: 8-Seater Octagonal Secondary Dining Hub

Maximise the versatility of your school’s multi-use estates. This adult-height octagonal unit eliminates the logistical clutter of loose furniture, offering a structured, 8-person dining station that allows for rapid deployment and compact storage in high-traffic secondary environments.

The Cobolt Advantage

  • Agile Facility Management: Despite its expansive surface area, this table nests into a slim vertical position that glides through standard 1980mm internal doorways. This ensures seamless movement between dining halls and storage cupboards by a single operator.
  • Precision Safety Engineering: The mechanism incorporates a sophisticated triple-lock system: an open-position safety lock to prevent accidental collapse, an intermediate lock for safe, deep-cleaning access, and heavy-duty locking castors for total stability.
  • 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 designed to withstand the humidity and frequent spills of a busy canteen.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Bespoke Visual Coding: Select from 14 tabletop finishes and 11 vibrant stool colours to coordinate with school houses, branding, or specific faculty zones.
  • Minimalist Maintenance Footprint: By integrating seating into the frame, this system removes "clutter zones" associated with loose chairs, allowing janitorial teams to sanitise the floor and the unit significantly faster.
  • Circular Economy Commitment: In alignment with green procurement goals, this unit is 100% recyclable. At the end of its service life, the steel, timber, and plastic components can be ethically processed.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Free Mainland UK Delivery: Every purchase includes our premier Gold Delivery Service. We handle the heavy lifting and logistics 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 survives the relentless daily punishment of the UK education sector.
  • Unrivalled Guarantee: Reflecting the superior quality of British engineering, this unit comes with a 16-year warranty on all structural welds and the folding mechanism.

Ideal Environments for the 11+ Octagonal Dining Hub

The unique octagonal configuration is the premier solution for Secondary School Canteens and Sixth Form Breakout Zones, as it encourages eye contact and inclusive socialisation. Its 735mm height makes it equally effective for Staff Rooms and Community Centres where adult-height furniture is essential.

  • 735mm Adult-Height Surface — Ergonomically scaled for students aged 11+ and adults to ensure a comfortable dining posture.
  • Octagonal Geometric Design — A modern social layout that facilitates easier supervision and better group engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can a single person fold and transport this table?

A: Yes. The folding mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the 98kg unit glides effortlessly on heavy-duty castors, allowing it to be wheeled into storage with minimal effort.

2. Will this table fit through a standard height internal door?

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

3. Why choose an octagonal table over a round or rectangular one?

A: The octagonal layout provides a defined seating space for each pupil while encouraging eye contact and group interaction. It’s a modern social design that helps prevent overcrowding and improves noise control.

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 does the safety lock work during dining?

A: The unit features an Open-Position Safety Lock. Once the table is deployed, this lock mechanically prevents it from folding back 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 is covered under the 16-year warranty?

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 of the unit.
