The round table for 8, without the dressing
This is the bare version of our round banquet tables, the 5 ft round. It has the same top as the dressed one, the same 75 cm height and the same eight guests round it, with nothing laid on it at all. You pay KSh 500 a table for a 24-hour hire, and our crew carries the tables in, stands them to your plan and comes back for them. Choose plain when the cloths come from somewhere else: your decorator, your church, the hotel, or your own cupboard. Choose plain, too, for jobs where a cloth only gets in the way. Think of a games table, a mandazi and chai station at a harambee, or a table for the band's kit.
What size is a round table for 8 people?
Ours is listed at 1.5 m (5 ft) across and 75 cm high. In the US the same table is sold as the 60-inch round: Banquet Tables Pro, a US banquet-table retailer, lists its plywood 60-inch round at 30 inches high, about 76 cm, with a ¾-inch plywood top, weighing 56 lb (25 kg). Those are their figures for their table. What matters at the party is the rim. A 1.5 m circle measures about 471 cm round the edge, so eight guests get roughly 59 cm each, enough for a plate, a glass and both elbows.
5ft round table seats how many?
Eight in comfort. Chivari, a US table maker, puts the 60-inch round at eight comfortably and notes that many rental firms say eight to ten, adding that ten chairs at one would be rather intimate. Our arithmetic agrees: ten guests leave about 47 cm each, and a gold Chiavari chair alone is 40 cm wide. So our planner counts eight a table. That makes 7 tables for 50 guests (KSh 3,500), 13 for 100 (KSh 6,500) and 25 for 200. If you truly need ten at a table, Chivari's answer is the 72-inch round, which we do not list; tell us and we plan around it.
Round tables for party lunches at home
A garden party is where plain rounds earn their price. Seven of them and 50 plastic chairs seat a birthday or a graduation lunch for KSh 6,000, before transport. Folding legs need level ground, so tell us if the lawn slopes or the compound is cabro on one side and grass on the other, and the crew sets the tables where they stand true. A bare top can still look dressed. Lay a table runner across it and set a charger plate at each place, or spread your own kitenge cloth.
Plain or dressed, round or long
When nobody has cloths, skip the plain round table for hire and take the dressed round tables: the same table, delivered with a cloth to the floor and the cloth sizes explained. For one long family table or a row facing a stage, the plain 3x6 table lines up end to end. Rounds cannot do that. Both round versions, side by side, are on our round tables for hire page. Transport is priced by distance from Uthiru, and a 50% deposit holds your date.

Questions about this item
No questions yet. Ask anything — sizes, colours, how many you need for your guests, delivery to your area. We answer here, usually within a day.
How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Plain round table questions
How much is a plain round table to hire?
KSh 500 per table for 24 hours. Thirteen, for 100 guests, come to KSh 6,500 before transport.
How many people sit at a 5 ft round table?
Eight comfortably. Ten fit only at a squeeze, about 47 cm of edge each.
Does it come with a tablecloth?
No. The dressed round table is the same table with a floor-length cloth on.
Do the tables come with chairs?
No, chairs are a separate item on the same quote, eight to a table.
Can I change my order after paying the deposit?
Yes, and the earlier the better — please give us at least 48 hours where you can. Additions are subject to what is in stock and are invoiced separately; last-minute additions are never guaranteed. Reductions are where it gets more complicated: once we have committed stock, crew and transport to your event, a reduction of more than 10% may not reduce the price proportionally, and customised items already made cannot normally be cancelled.
What happens if something gets damaged or goes missing?
Tell us straight away — do not try to fix it or set it aside quietly, because that usually makes it worse. Ordinary wear and tear is expected and is never charged. Beyond that, you are responsible for loss or damage while items are in your care: broken chairs, tables or glassware, damaged décor, burns, torn fabric, permanent staining, lost cushions, missing tent components, and damage caused by guests or by moving things without permission. Where something is repairable we charge the reasonable repair cost; where it is lost or beyond economical repair, the reasonable replacement cost. We can provide photographic or inventory evidence where it is needed.
