Murdock sits 58 miles from our yard in Albany. We are a family operation, not a rental chain. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Murdock is about 58 miles out from Albany — roughly 75 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 58 miles, towing it yourself is the economical call if you have the vehicle for it. If you do not, we will quote the drive honestly.
Murdock is a small town — about 304 people — and the seating for anything big usually gets borrowed from three directions. The events we see out of Murdock are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover Murdock as part of a run through Swift County that also takes in Kerkhoven, De Graff and Sunburg, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Renting per chair per day is how a two-day party quietly becomes a four-figure invoice. We rent the trailer instead. If your weekend is already taken we will say so straight away, not after you have planned around us.
178 steel folding chairs and 4 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.
| Chairs you actually use | What you pay | Cost per chair | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 chairs | $299 | $7.47 | Same trailer, same price |
| 80 chairs | $299 | $3.74 | Same trailer, same price |
| 120 chairs | $299 | $2.49 | Same trailer, same price |
| 178 chairs | $299 | $1.68 | Same trailer, same price |
One flat $299 for the weekend whether you pull 40 chairs off the rack or all 178. Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. That is the whole reason we bundle it.
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 the count is honest. We load 178 chairs, you get 178 chairs, and if your Murdock event only needs sixty you have spares for the ones that end up wet, wobbly or claimed by somebody's cooler.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Murdock is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 58 miles from Albany, roughly a 75-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 Murdock, which is 58 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
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.
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.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
