"I have chosen to purchase more of the Alloyfold simply because they make the most financial sense. During the lifetime of chairs in my inventory, FAR MORE money is spent handling and cleaning than is spent to acquire them. The Alloyfold chair is probably the BEST example of this in my entire line of rental products: It costs twice as much as what would APPEAR to be the SAME thing. If the chairs were to sit on display, never be moved, or otherwise not be used as frequently, I probably WOULD buy a less costly model. But when the handling aspect is considered, the Alloyfold actually SAVES me far more than the cost differential. First of all, the chair is lighter; this translates into less physical impact to staff who must lift them. Additionally, the impact to delivery vehicles is less because the suspension, tires, brakes are less stressed. I can recall years ago seeing one of our trucks fully loaded with steel frame chairs and wondering if the tires might rub the bottom of the cargo box as it travelled down the road! Secondly, the chair is much easier to keep the appearance "fresh and new". We use the chair wash machine and have NO WORRIES of rust on the frames. The brushed anodized finish is very forgiving to incidental scratches and marks that are inevitable with constant handling. A periodic detailing with polishing compound will remove almost all of these surface scratches. Even though this chair happens to be the "economy rental price" of all the chair styles we offer, clients DO notice and appreciate the consistent quality of appearance. Lastly, the chair has proven to be extremely durable, which means it has a longer life expectancy. Any piece of equipment that can DO ALL THAT is a winner in my book. And naturally I have put "my money where my mouth is" by ordering a 40' container full for delivery this spring!" We were thrilled to get this email from Tom Mantyla from Baker Party Rentals. We visted Baker Party Rentals in California, USA recently and the store is presented beautifully! He even let us film him speaking about Alloyfold chairs: Take a look at their website.
