Product Details

The Virco MTB172912 Mobile Bench Cafeteria Table is designed for schools that need to maximize seating capacity in large cafeterias and multi-purpose dining spaces. At 12 feet long and 30 inches wide with integrated 17-inch benches on both sides, these cafeteria tables can seat a full row of students in a single, efficient unit that folds flat for storage when the space is needed for other activities. Built with Virco's proven particle board core construction and a high-pressure laminate surface, the table top resists spills, scratches, and the repeated cleaning cycles that cafeteria environments require. T-Mold edge banding adds durable protection along the perimeter, and torsion bars make folding and unfolding smooth and consistent. Up-lock and down-lock mechanisms keep the table secure in both the open and stored positions, while heavy-duty casters allow staff to move the table into position with minimal effort. At 29 inches in table height and 17 inches in bench height, this unit is sized for fifth grade students through adults, making it appropriate for middle schools, high schools, and district cafeterias. Available in Maple and other top color options with Black or Chrome frame, these cafeteria tables are built to Virco's exacting quality standards. School Outlet offers competitive school pricing on Virco cafeteria furniture with fast shipping nationwide.

Benefits of the Virco MTB172912 - Mobile Bench Cafeteria Table - 29"H x30"W x 144"L - T-mold Edge - 17"H x 12'L Bench

Maximizing seating capacity and floor space is the daily puzzle of every lunchroom, and the Virco MTB172912 Mobile Bench Table solves both sides of it. Twin 12 foot benches seat up to 16 students at a 29 inch high, 30 inch wide, 144 inch long top. The 17 inch bench height is intended for the upper grades, 5th grade and up, giving bigger students comfortable seating. Set up and tear down are quick, the unit locks automatically in both the open and closed positions, and heavy duty casters carry it anywhere. Among bench style cafeteria tables, this Virco is a proven performer.

  • Seats Up to 16 Students Per Table

    Few cafeteria tables match this capacity. Two full length 12 foot benches hold up to 16 students at once, so schools cover large lunch waves with fewer units. Fewer tables to purchase, fold, and store means lower costs and faster transitions between lunch periods and afternoon activities in the gym.

    Sized for Upper Grades

    The 17 inch bench height suits 5th grade students through adults, providing comfortable legroom that lower elementary tables cannot. Middle schools and high schools get seating that fits growing students properly. If you need a similar table for younger grades, Virco offers the lower height MTB152712 model for those lunchrooms instead.

    Durable High Pressure Laminate Surface

    The tabletop is finished in high pressure laminate that withstands dropped trays, scrubbing, and daily sanitizing without losing its appearance. Standard T mold edge banding wraps the perimeter, protecting edges from chips and dents. These are the construction details that keep cafeteria tables presentable for a decade or more of service.

    Automatic Locking Open and Closed

    The table locks automatically in the fully open position before anyone sits down, and locks again when folded for storage. Staff never wrestle with manual latches or second guess whether the unit is secure. That automatic protection reduces accidents and makes daily setup nearly foolproof for any staff team member.

    Heavy Duty Casters for Easy Mobility

    Built in heavy duty casters let custodians roll the folded table through doorways and down hallways without lifting. Multipurpose rooms switch from dining to assembly to athletics in minutes. Easy set up and tear down were core design goals for this bench table, and Virco delivered on both of them.

    Versatile Beyond the Cafeteria

    Ideal for the busy school cafeteria but not limited to it, this versatile bench table works well for testing sessions, club meetings, concession seating, and large community events. Schools that invest in flexible cafeteria tables get furniture that earns its keep all over campus, every season of the school year.
