Product Overview: 8-Seater Octagonal Mobile Dining Hub

Optimise your multi-use hall with a seating system that prioritises speed, safety, and social interaction. This octagonal mobile unit provides a defined seating area for eight primary pupils, allowing a single staff member to transform a gymnasium or hall into a professional canteen in minutes.

The Cobolt Advantage

  • Agile Logistics: Despite its expansive 2155mm surface, this table is engineered to nest into a single vertical position that glides through standard 1980mm internal doorways. This ensures seamless movement between the dining hall and compact storage areas.
  • Safety-First Folding: The mechanism incorporates a sophisticated triple-lock system. An open-position safety lock prevents accidental collapse, an intermediate lock facilitates hygienic cleaning, and heavy-duty castors ensure the unit remains static once deployed.
  • Industrial-Grade Surfaces: The 18mm high-density MDF core is moisture-resistant and capped with a high-pressure laminate. This creates a non-porous, easy-clean workspace that stands up to the rigorous sanitisation protocols of modern schools.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Bespoke Colour Combinations: Select from 14 tabletop finishes and 11 vibrant stool colours. This allows you to implement a colour-coded "House" system or coordinate with your school’s unique branding and decor.
  • Circular Economy Design: In alignment with green procurement goals, this table is 100% recyclable. At the end of its extensive service life, the steel, timber, and plastic components can be ethically repurposed.
  • Minimal Maintenance: By integrating the stools into the frame, this system removes the clutter of loose chairs, allowing janitorial teams to clean the floor and the unit significantly faster, reducing water and chemical usage.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Gold Delivery Service: We handle the heavy lifting. Every purchase includes Free Mainland UK Delivery via our specialist Gold service, ensuring your tables arrive in perfect condition and ready for immediate deployment.
  • 50 Years of Mastery: We draw on five decades of commercial B2B expertise to supply furniture that survives the intense, multi-user demands of the UK 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 Octagonal Primary Dining Station

The unique octagonal shape is the ultimate solution for Primary School Canteens, as it encourages eye contact and improves inclusive socialisation during lunch periods. It is equally effective for Breakfast Clubs and Community Hall Hire, where rapid reconfiguration of floor space is essential.

Key Features

  • 685mm Primary Height — Ergonomically calibrated for students aged 5-11 years to ensure correct and comfortable dining posture.
  • Octagonal Geometric Design — A modern, social layout that facilitates easier pupil supervision and better group engagement.
  • Water-Resistant MDF Core — A substantial 18mm high-density core designed to withstand frequent spills and moisture exposure.
  • FIRA Certified — Independently tested to the highest British standards for structural stability, weight-bearing, and safety.
  • Standard Doorway Clearance — Folds into a slim profile that passes through standard 1980mm internal doors for effortless transport.
  • Locking Heavy-Duty Castors — Non-marking wheels that glide across school floors and lock securely to prevent drifting during use.
  • Turnkey Delivery — Arrives fully constructed via our specialist team, liberating your site staff from complex assembly tasks.

Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can a single staff member operate the folding mechanism?

A: Yes. The counter-balanced mechanism is designed for single-person operation. Once nested, the 98kg table glides smoothly on castors, making it easy for one person to wheel into storage.

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

A: Yes. When folded, the unit is engineered to fit through a standard height doorway (1980mm), allowing for effortless transport between halls and storage cupboards.

3. Why is the Octagonal shape beneficial for pupils?

A: The octagonal layout encourages eye contact and improves group socialisation compared to linear tables. It also helps teachers monitor the entire table more effectively during lunch service.

4. Is the 685mm height suitable for primary school children?

A: Absolutely. The 685mm height is the adult-approved standard for children aged 5-11, providing the correct ergonomic alignment for safe and comfortable dining.

5. How do we ensure the table doesn't fold while pupils 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. Are the stools and tabletop resistant to frequent spills?

A: Yes. The high-pressure laminate and water-resistant MDF core are designed for frequent wipe-downs. The plastic stools are non-porous and will not absorb moisture or food odours.

7. Can we choose different colours for the stools and the tabletop?

A: Yes. With 14 tabletop options and 11 stool colours, you have over 150 combinations available to perfectly match your school's colour scheme or house groups.

8. What is included in the 16-year warranty?

A: Your 16-year commercial warranty specifically covers the structural integrity of all steel welds and the entire internal folding and locking mechanism.
