Using a table trolley gives your team the perfect tool to transport multiple tables in just a fraction of the time. Trolleys also help protect the tables from damage and lower the risk of personal injury in handling. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/table-trolleys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">table trolleys<\/a> are custom-made for the best handling, safety and protection of the furniture.

However, adding additional mobility options like built-in wheels can be the solution to a quicker and easier set-up, requiring fewer people and taking less time. This also avoids the tables being dragged, which not only makes a horrible noise that disturbs colleagues and guests, but can also damage the floor and feet of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1858\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup.jpg 1858w, https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.burgessfurniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/table-wheel-setup-1536x827.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1858px) 100vw, 1858px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Save time with predefined furniture layouts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When organising your furniture, a lot of time can be wasted moving tables around to work out the best layout and ensure there is sufficient space for people to move around.
