How strong are the legs on commercial folding tables?

Commercial folding table legs are made from steel, typically 1.5"–2" diameter round tubing or square stock, with a gauge between 16–18. Stronger legs use 16-gauge or thicker tubing. Most commercial folding tables support 500 lbs or more distributed evenly across the surface. Leg braces and cross-tubes prevent lateral flex. Avoid consumer-grade tables with thin-walled legs for commercial or event use — legs are the most common failure point on inferior tables.
