Product Info
QUALITY
From the get go we have taken pride in our highly edited collections. Starting out as one of the nation’s leading Vintage Tabletop Rental companies we have evolved and expanded into a well balanced Luxury Tabletop Rental company. We can assure you that you are seeing the best of what there is to offer in the tabletop market both old and new. We have striven to build a cohesive brand with interchangeable products in all categories so that it is possible for our clients to create an all borrowed BLU tabletop. We hunt, source and custom design all of our products using only the highest quality materials and only in premium condition. That being said, our pricing may appear higher than other commercial rental companies as a result. Because of the vast number of strong collections housed under borrowed BLU you can be sure the possibilities for a unique presentation are endless. Just a tweak of an item and you can produce an entirely different look.
QUANTITY
Because we are a luxury tabletop rental company that houses a variety of unique and one of a kind products we are often asked about quantities. With locations both in California+Connecticut we can assure you that quantities are not a concern. Our average events range from 300- 500+ guests with multiple food coursing in most circumstances. Since we are constantly adding new items and continually replenishing stock in our vintage products we are almost always able to accommodate any size order no matter how large with enough notice. It is however recommended that you book your items as soon as possible. Typically 3-6 months in advance is our recommendation as our items tend to book up quick, sometimes even a year in advance!

WHAT DOES AND ALL BORROWED BLU TABLETOP LOOK LIKE AND COST?

Every rental order varies depending on the specific food coursing and beverage needs. In fact we encourage you to think about our rentals beyond the tabletop.

CAN I REQUEST A CERTAIN SHADE OF COLOR OR SIZE WITHIN MIXED COLLECTIONS?
Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests about specific shades or patterns of any assorted heirloom collections or any collection that is noted to contain a mix of colors or sizes—the beauty is in the variety and you can trust that we have taken care to curate these collections with care.
