Table and Chair Rental in Melrose, MN

We are based in Albany, 14 miles from Melrose, and we have been hauling chairs around this county long enough to know which weekends disappear first. 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.

Getting it to Melrose

Melrose is 14 miles from our trailer yard in Albany — about 20 minutes. That is close enough that we can usually deliver at no extra charge. 14 miles means the tow is not really a factor in your decision. Do whichever is easier on the day.

With about 3,607 residents, Melrose is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Melrose runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.

We cover Melrose as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Meire Grove, New Munich and Greenwald, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Flat pricing means you can budget the party before you know the final headcount — which is the order people actually plan in. The person reading your request is the person who loads the trailer. Nothing gets relayed.

What you get in Melrose

Steel folding chairs and banquet tables, already loaded on racks inside an enclosed trailer. It rents as one bundle. There is no per-chair rate to calculate, no weekend surcharge, and no separate delivery line unless we are driving it to you. Need more than the trailer holds? Ask — we can add to it.

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.

Why they ride on racks

The chairs hang on racks and the tables ride along the wall. You pull what you need off the rack, and at the end of the night you hang them back. That is the entire unload and reload — no stacking hundred-chair towers, no games of trailer Tetris in the dark, and no counting them back in one at a time.

It also means you are never short. The trailer goes out full, so if your Melrose event only needs half of it you still have spares for the ones that end up wet, wobbly or claimed by somebody's cooler.

Questions we get from Melrose

How much does it cost to rent tables and chairs in Melrose?

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 Melrose is separate and quoted by distance — free delivery applies here.

How far is Melrose from your trailer?

About 14 miles from Albany, roughly a 20-minute drive. You are practically next door.

What do I need to tow the trailer?

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.

Do you deliver to Melrose?

Yes. Free delivery applies to Melrose, which is 14 miles from Albany.

Is the trailer hard to back up?

It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.

Do you rent tablecloths or dishes?

No. Chairs, tables and bounce houses is the whole list right now, with tents and yard games coming. We would rather do a short list properly.

Are you actually the cheapest option around here?

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.
