First, we found a quality wood factory. Then we found steel for our steel wishbone leg assembly. Finally, we found durable, reliable 7 ply ACX Birch plywood, one of the highest graded plywoods around. We glue the plys with waterproof glue, facilitating outdoor use. We add a polyurethane finish to the top and the bottom for added protection. We put it all together to manufacture a beautifully crafted wood folding conference table. A rubber bull nose edge wraps around the table for protection. This Folding Wood Conference Table is heavier than you would expect, because it is built to last.
