Table and Chair Rental Prices in Singapore: Full Price Guide

Table and chair rental prices in Singapore typically range from SGD 3 to SGD 8 per chair and SGD 15 to SGD 40 per table, depending on style and material. A standard 100-pax event with round tables and PVC chairs usually costs SGD 500 to SGD 900 for furniture alone, separate from tentage.

Furniture is one of the most under-budgeted parts of event planning because people assume it comes bundled with the tent. It rarely does. This guide breaks down pricing by table and chair type so you can budget accurately from the start.

Table Rental Prices in Singapore

Table pricing depends on shape, size, and finish. Here is what we typically quote per piece for a standard one to two-day rental.

Bare tables without cloth or skirting are the cheapest option and work well for functional setups like registration counters or buffet lines. Clothed tables with skirting are standard for banquet-style seating at weddings and formal D&Ds.

Chair Rental Prices in Singapore

Chair pricing varies more than most people expect, since it covers everything from basic plastic stacking chairs to padded banquet chairs.

PVC chairs are the workhorse of Singapore event rentals — durable, quick to stack, and the default for void deck functions and funeral wakes. Padded and Tiffany chairs are typically reserved for weddings and events where appearance matters more.

Combined Table and Chair Packages: What’s a Fair Price?

Many vendors, us included, offer bundled packages that work out cheaper than pricing each piece separately. As a rough guide for 2026:

These package prices typically include delivery and collection but exclude tentage. For the full picture of what a combined tent-plus-furniture event costs, see our tentage rental prices guide (lianhupseng.com.sg/tentage-rental-prices-in-singapore-complete-2026-guide/).

What Affects Table and Chair Rental Prices?

Material and finish. Bare tables and PVC chairs are cheapest. Cloth, skirting, cushioning, and Tiffany-style chairs all add to the per-piece cost.

Quantity. Larger orders often get a modest per-piece discount, since delivery and collection costs spread across more units.

Delivery distance and access. Void decks with easy ground-floor access cost less to service than upper-floor MSCP locations or sites with restricted loading.

Duration. Standard rentals cover one to two days. Multi-day rentals, common for renovation displays or extended functions, are priced per additional day.

The most common mistake we see is a client ordering the exact pax count in chairs with no buffer, then scrambling for extra units when walk-in guests exceed the RSVP list. We always recommend ordering 10 percent above your confirmed headcount.

Do You Need Table Cloths and Skirting?

For casual events, bare tables are perfectly functional and save on cost. For weddings, corporate functions, and any event with photography, cloth and skirting noticeably lift the presentation for a relatively small cost difference, usually SGD 8 to SGD 15 more per table. Skirting in particular hides table legs and stacked chairs underneath, which matters more than people expect once photos come back.

How Many Tables and Chairs Do You Need?

Use this quick method to calculate your order:

1. Start with your confirmed guest count from RSVPs.
2. Add 10 percent to account for walk-ins and last-minute additions, especially common at Chinese and Malay weddings.
3. Divide by seats per table — 8 to 10 pax for round tables, 4 pax for square 3×3, 6 to 8 pax for rectangular 4×2.
4. Round up to the nearest full table rather than assuming exact seating splits evenly.
5. Order 1 extra chair per table as a buffer for last-minute plus-ones.

For a 150-pax wedding using round tables, this works out to roughly 17 to 19 tables and 165 chairs — always confirm the exact split with your vendor rather than rounding down.

Table and Chair Rental for Different Event Types

Weddings. Typically round tables with cloth and skirting, paired with cushion or Tiffany chairs depending on budget and venue formality.

Funerals. Standard practice is bare rectangular or round tables with PVC chairs, prioritising practicality over presentation given the circumstances.

Corporate events and D&Ds. A mix of round tables for dining and cocktail tables for standing networking segments is common, often paired with a stage — see our guide to stage rental costs in Singapore (lianhupseng.com.sg/stage-rental-costs-in-singapore-sizes-setup-and-pricing/) if your event needs one.

Community and pasar malam-style events. Bare rectangular tables and foldable or PVC chairs are the standard, prioritising quick setup and teardown over aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent tables and chairs for 100 guests in Singapore?

A standard package with 10 round tables and 100 PVC chairs typically costs SGD 450 to SGD 700. Upgrading to tablecloths and cushion chairs brings this to roughly SGD 700 to SGD 1,100.

Is delivery included in table and chair rental prices?

Often yes for standard packages, but always confirm this directly, as delivery cost can depend on distance and site access, particularly for upper-floor or restricted-access locations.

What’s the difference between a bare table and a table with skirting?

A bare table has no cloth or covering, while a skirted table has a full cloth that hides the table legs and anything stored underneath. Skirting adds roughly SGD 8 to SGD 15 per table but significantly improves appearance for photos.

How many chairs should I order for my event?

Order 10 percent above your confirmed guest count to cover walk-ins and last-minute additions. For a 100-pax RSVP list, this means ordering around 110 chairs.

Can I rent just chairs without tables?

Yes, chairs and tables can usually be rented separately or in any combination. This is common for events needing extra overflow seating without additional dining tables.

Do table and chair rental prices change during peak wedding season?

Some vendors see tighter availability from September to December, which can limit discounts on bulk orders, though per-piece pricing itself typically stays consistent year-round.

Buying vs Renting: Why Most Events Rent Instead

Buying tables and chairs only makes financial sense if you are hosting events regularly, such as running a community hall or a recurring business function. A single set of 10 round tables with cushion chairs can cost SGD 3,000 to SGD 5,000 to purchase outright, plus storage space most homes and offices simply do not have.

For a one-off wedding, funeral, or corporate D&D, renting at SGD 450 to SGD 2,200 depending on scale is almost always the more sensible choice. You also avoid the maintenance, cleaning, and transport burden that comes with owning bulky furniture used only once or twice a year.

Setup, Delivery and Collection: What to Expect

Standard table and chair delivery includes drop-off, basic arrangement at the site, and collection after your event, usually the same evening or the following morning. For larger orders above 150 pax, we typically send a crew of 2 to 4 workers to handle arrangement, especially if tables need to be paired with tentage or a stage layout.

Confirm your delivery window in advance, particularly for void deck events where access may be shared with other residents or restricted to certain hours by your town council. Most deliveries are scheduled a few hours before your event start time, with collection happening either late the same night or early the next morning depending on venue rules.

Common Mistakes That Inflate Your Furniture Rental Bill

Three patterns show up again and again in the quotes we help clients fix after the fact.

Ordering exact headcount with no buffer. We covered this above, but it is worth repeating: a same-day emergency chair order almost always costs more per piece than adding a buffer at the original booking.

Mixing chair styles unnecessarily. Ordering half PVC and half cushion chairs to “save a bit” often looks inconsistent in photos and rarely saves much once delivery is factored in. Pick one style for the full guest count unless there is a clear functional reason to split, such as a separate standing cocktail area using cocktail tables.

Underestimating table count for banquet-style seating. A round table seating “10 pax” is snug once place settings, centrepieces, and elbow room are factored in. For a more comfortable banquet layout, we often recommend planning for 8 pax per round table rather than the maximum 10.

Table and Chair Rental Duration and Long-Term Rentals

Standard pricing above covers one to two-day rentals, which suits the vast majority of weddings, funerals, and corporate events. If you need furniture for a longer stretch, such as a week-long exhibition, renovation display, or a series of back-to-back community events, most vendors including us offer a discounted daily rate for extended bookings rather than charging the full standard rate per day.

As a rough guide, expect the per-day cost to drop by roughly 30 to 50 percent once you move past the third or fourth day of a continuous rental. Always ask specifically about multi-day rates rather than assuming the standard one-day price simply multiplies out, since most vendors have a separate pricing tier for this.

Do prices differ between HDB void deck events and private venues?

The furniture price itself stays the same regardless of venue type. What can differ is delivery cost and setup time, since void decks are generally quicker and cheaper to access than private estates or venues with restricted loading and lift access.
