FAQs: Orange Primary School Folding Canteen Bench (5–11 Years)

A: It typically seats 12–16 pupils depending on their age and how closely they are seated, making it suitable for busy primary dining halls and staggered lunches.
Q: Is the bench height right for pupils aged 5–11?
A: Yes. The 685mm table height and 375mm bench height have been selected specifically for primary-age pupils to support comfort, posture and independent access to seating.
Q: Will the bench fit through our school doorways when folded?
A: When folded, the bench passes through a standard 1980mm UK doorway, so you can move it easily between the hall, classrooms and storage areas as needed.

A: The warranty covers the welded joints and the folding mechanism, providing long-term reassurance for schools, MATs and councils investing in their dining furniture backbone.
