"Maywood is one of the oldest table manufacturers in the world. Maywood was the only manufacturer of the Howe 200 Series® tables for over seventy years. Marriot, Hyatt, Sheraton, Crown Plaza, The Waldorf, Opryland, numerous Convention Centers and many others have purchased the table with the sturdy black legs with a plywood, foam or laminate top."
"Mergers and acquisitions in the folding table segment of the hospitality market have reshaped the industry over the last two years. First, Falcon bought Howe, but still wanted Maywood to manufacture the Howe 200 Series® tables for them. Then Falcon acquired Shelby-Williams King Arthur. Shortly afterward, Falcon stated that King Arthur factory would produce the Howe 200 Series®."
"This gave Maywood Furniture the wonderful opportunity not only to manufacture but market the Howe 200 Series® ourselves."
If you want to match existing inventories of the Howe 200 Series® tables you have had such success with, you must buy the Maywood Original Series table with the sturdy black legs.
