Covey

Covey is well built cluster seating to perform as dependably in an outdoor courtyard as it does inside the cafeteria. This indoor and outdoor food court cluster seating system offers fiberglass and Corian® tops and seats rated for extreme environments . Covey offers strong, sturdy frame design with fixed or swivel seats in standard and pub heights with glides, anchor or cored in mounting options. Covey comes in two, four seat, or six seat configuration in 29 inch or 42 inch height plus wheelchair accessible models.

Covey is engineered for the reality of shared institutional spaces where tables need to hold up through every season, get wiped down quickly between meal periods, and continue looking and performing well for years without significant maintenance. Fiberglass seats are comfortably shaped and designed to allow rainwater to run off cleanly, so outdoor seats dry quickly after precipitation and do not pool water that discourages use or creates a hygiene issue. Fixed seats are standard, providing a stable and predictable seating arrangement for cafeteria settings where traffic flow and seating density need to be consistent and controlled across a full meal period. Glide, anchor, and cored in mounting options cover every installation scenario from a flexible indoor food court setup to a permanent outdoor concrete installation that will serve the campus for a generation.

What sets Covey apart is the breadth of its configuration range and the ability to deliver a matching indoor and outdoor dining environment from the same product family. Round tables at 36- and 48-inch diameters in standard 29-inch height and 42-inch pub height support 2, 4, and 6 seat configurations for the food court environments where varied seat counts help manage flow and density. Rectangular tables at 24 by 42 and 24 by 96 and 48 by 60-inch tops extend the range for large format indoor food courts where rows of coordinated cluster seating create a coherent dining room at a scale that round tables alone cannot achieve. Wheelchair accessible configurations are available on 36-inch round, 48-inch round, and select rectangular models, ensuring that the dining environment meets accessibility requirements for all students without requiring a separate product specification. Optional umbrella holes on select models extend outdoor usability in warm and sunny weather. Custom graphics and logos are available on round fiberglass tops, giving campuses and schools the ability to incorporate institutional identity directly into the table surface for a finished, branded result that generic cafeteria seating cannot deliver.

Covey’s outdoor durability begins with the fiberglass tops and seats, which are a combination of resin and glass fibers creating a fiber reinforced plastic that is heat, chemical, and UV resistant, rated for extreme weather, and available in seven standard colors for both seats and tops. Corian® tops are a solid nonporous acrylic resin and natural mineral surface that is stain and weather resistant, available in 14 colors and compatible with custom graphics and logos incorporated directly into the surface. All Covey frames are constructed from 11-gauge steel tubing with an outdoor grade, electrostatically applied, baked on epoxy powder coat that resists abrasion, marring, and scratching in both indoor and outdoor environments through years of institutional service. SmartEdge with antimicrobial and antifungal additives is standard on round indoor tops, and EdgeGuard^™ is standard on rectangular indoor tops, giving Covey the same edge treatment quality that Palmer Hamilton applies across its full product line. Palmer Hamilton backs Covey with a 5-year warranty and ships it from Elkhorn, Wisconsin, because the food courts, courtyards, and cafeterias where students and communities gather deserve furniture built and supported to that standard.
