Darwin sits 44 miles from our yard in Albany. We are a family operation, not a rental chain. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Darwin sits about 44 miles from Albany, a 60-minute drive. We deliver out here regularly. This far out, we will tell you plainly whether delivery makes sense for your headcount, or whether you are better off towing.
Darwin is a small town — about 341 people — and the seating for anything big usually gets borrowed from three directions. Darwin events tend to happen in the places a town this size actually has: the church hall, the community centre, the ball field, somebody's shop.
We cover Darwin as part of a run through Meeker County that also takes in Dassel, Litchfield and Kingston, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. The price does not move with your headcount. That is not generosity, it is just simpler to run one trailer than to count chairs twice. The person reading your request is the person who loads the trailer. Nothing gets relayed.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Darwin, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Darwin on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Delivery quoted by distance for Darwin.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Darwin is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 44 miles from Albany, roughly a 60-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Darwin, which is 44 miles from Albany.
The trailer is enclosed, so the chairs stay dry until you pull them out. If you have to move the whole thing indoors, the racks make picking them back up quick.
Come by Albany and look at it. We would rather you knew what you were getting than guessed from a photo.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
