SICO^® Graduate Cafeteria Table

Description

An Oval Table Design with Attached Seating

Your choice for maximizing seating space in a table that is shaped to increase student interaction and hence decrease noise levels. A great choice for pre-school and elementary environments. Perfect for all levels from pre-school to high school. Promotes increased (and quieter) student interaction.

More students in the Same Amount of Space

The SICO^® Graduate table comes in round or octagonal shapes that can serve 20%-25% more students than tables with chairs in the same space. Students are not only seated more efficiently, but aisles can be narrower since there are no chairs to slide out. With its attractive round or octagon design, the SICO^® Graduate also promotes student interaction, making it perfect for food service use, or group project settings.

Less Labor

From stationary to mobile in a matter of moments, the SICO^® Graduate can be folded and rolled out of the way far faster than any table with loose chairs. This results in less labor and faster clean up.

Quality and Performance

SICO^® Graduate tables feature an attractive design and rugged construction, even when put through the hard use of a school setting. With many laminate top colors and seat colors to choose from, the Graduate^® is an attractive table in any environment.

Tables with attached seats eliminate the noise of chairs moving around and banging together. They also eliminate aisle blockage and the horseplay that can occur with chairs. With attached seating, floors retain their beauty longer and your custodial staff spends less time maintaining them. The SICO^® Graduate is also very easy to handle. The units fold and roll easily, and nest together for compact storage.

Performance Promise

The SICO^® Graduate comes with a 15-Year Warranty and a Lifetime Warranty on welds.
