Previous Competitor Weight

The chart below illustrates the extra weight burden a staff would have to handle when using wood or plastic tables versus MardiGras™ tables. The use of MardiGras™ tables may help reduce Workman's Compensation claims (which will affect a facility's bottom line). For purpose of comparison, assume an average of 200 events per year requiring 50 tables per event.
