I would not recommend Austin Table and Chairs based on my experience. I originally requested a quote months in advance of my wedding reception, but after comparing prices, I decided to go with another vendor due to Austin Table and Chairs being nearly double the cost. Three days before the event, I received a text that I mistakenly thought was from the vendor I did choose -- there had been no communication from Austin Table and Chairs since the original quote. I signed the contract, unaware it was from them. On the day of the event, the venue manager informed me that two different companies had delivered tables and chairs. That's when I realized the mistake. I immediately contacted Austin Table and Chairs and asked them to come retrieve their items, which they did -- in the middle of the reception, causing a disruption during a carefully planned and deeply meaningful event. I've now paid three times what I budgeted for something that should have been straightforward. This entire situation could have been avoided with clearer, more timely communication. Sending a contract just days before an event after months of silence, with no confirmation or follow-up, feels like a tactic designed to confuse clients during an already stressful time. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I expect vendors to understand how far in advance events are planned and how critical clarity and reliability are. Unfortunately, this experience felt more like a trap than a service, and I don't believe it reflects the care or professionalism clients deserve. read more

Multiple people in my family have tried to get a quote from Austin Chair and Table Rental. Limited communication the entire time. Can't believe they're still in business. Not only limited communication but below average responses when Javier would respond. We would like to use them based on location but won't be considering the fact they won't even give us a quote read more

ACTR is one of the shadiest companies I have done business with. Please read to see how a $428.99 order turned into $1211.07 total charges. We rented 60 chairs and 11 tables from this company for our wedding which cost a total of $428.99 after delivery and tax. In an email, I inquired about prices for plates, after hours pickup and some extra chairs but decided against it. Keep in mind that I did not indicate that I wanted to include these options. I sent them a signed agreement for only 60 chairs and 11 tables and stated that I will move the chairs to a nearby location if the venue does not allow for overnight storage. On the day of the wedding, they delivered the plates anyway and picked up the table and chairs same day. We left the plates wrapped as we did not use them. Later, they charged us $161 for 210 plates and $46 for cleaning the plates, which we obviously were not use. They also charged an extra $195 for after hours pickup. After the wedding, they claimed they were missing 10 chairs even though we counted out 60 in the return pile. I asked them several times how many chairs they received and never received an answer. They then charged my credit card for another $324.50 for the missing chairs. So a simple order and signed agreement for 60 chairs and 11 tables turned into $428.99 plus extra charges amounting to $782.08. read more

Updated: We used austin chair and table rental for our thanksgiving needs. We had 30 people over to my house and rented everything from tables, chairs, table clothes, plates, coffee mugs etc. the company was extremely responsive and polite and was reasonably priced. They conveniently delivered to my house the day before thanksgiving and even picked everything up the Saturday afterwards. I was extremely happy with their service and will be using them again for my next event, thank you Javier and team! read more

Javier, the owner, is wonderful. His prices are the best in town and I appreciated that he really went above and beyond to help me with timing for my husband's 40th birthday party. His delivery and pick up were right on time and the items I ordered were perfect. He's one of the few places in town that actually rents red carpet instead just selling it and the carpet was high quality and looked great. The other awesome part about his service was that he was willing to do a pick up on Sunday for no extra charge; most places in town will not do a Sunday pick up! That ended up not working with our schedules so he did the pick up on Monday and did not charge us for an extra day. Super cool. Thanks to Javier for making our party extra special and memorable! read more

Austin Chair and Table rental is amazing!! Javier Martinez (GM/Founder) was wonderful to work with! We had a backyard party at my home and needed tables, chairs and table cloths. Everything was perfect...the price, the tables & chairs, delivery and pick-up. I will definitely use them again for future parties! read more

After calling a number of other rental companies in town who all told me they were too busy or out of the chair I needed, I called Javier at Austin Chair and Table Rental and I am so glad I did! It was a last moment order of just 10 chairs but Javier was extremely attentive and responsive. I knew he was slammed but he still made time for my tiny order and delivered the chairs as promised. When I spoke to him on the phone the day-of, I asked him how they did their billing, whether they accepted credit cards and his comment was basically, "Getting the chairs to you, on time is my first priority, we will handle payment after." I really appreciate that. Good customer service does not go unnoticed! Thanks, Javier for the great experience! read more

Delivery and set up in backyard, but when the employee came to pick them up, he claimed there was an extra charge if they weren't in the front of the house. So we had to do his job for him and move everything closer to him. Will not be using this company for any other events. Left without having me sign the paperwork. read more

I Can not say enough good things about the owner Javier. I started my event coordinating business a few years ago and I have NEVER worked with anyone else. The man and his company are reliable,flexible and fair. They have EVERYTHING I need and I never have to go anywhere else. I used this company when I had little parties with only 30 guests and I still use this company now that I have events with upward of 250 people. There is nothing they can not handle from Lighting and draping to furniture and plates and the list goes on. It doesn't matter if your an individual looking to have an intimate dinner party at your house or own a full blown event coordinating company, Austin chair and table has everything you need. read more

Highly recommend! Javier was a super nice guy and responded to my emails in a timely manner. Delivery and pick up went as expected with no issues. We were billed 50% when reserving the equipment and paid the other half the day of the event. No problems at all. We ended up with a stellar setup in our backyard consisting of a 20x40 tent, tables, linens, chairs, and a dance floor. It. Was. Awesome. The linens arrived clean and in pristine condition and the tent was a lot nicer than expected. The dance floor held up well with all the folks dancing on it for hours on end. Overall, we got great equipment that served its purpose and made for a really fun party!!! Do yourself a favor and rent from these guys. read more

Good Customer service is hard to come by these days, so when I get experience a wonderful service, i feel compelled to rave about it. Javier took my call immediately and was able to accomodate a very short notice order. They delivered on time, and communicated along the way with some questions I had. Affordable prices, and top notch communication! read more

I would definitely look elsewhere. Not only do they have terrible customer service, but they are extremely rude. They also conveniently don't have the correct Amount of items you request and neglect to tell you that until right before you pay. read more

Just what we need at a great price! I didn't need much, just a few children's tables and chairs for my daughters birthday. The first place I called seemed bothered, like I was wasting their time on such a small order. However Javier was great and treated my order like it was top priority. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I own North Houston Premier Catering and Event Production Comanpy out of The Woodlands Texas {Houston Texas} [Catering To Your Taste Buds.com], and we hold several events in Austin each year. Austin Chair and Table Rental "Is the place to go". Prior to finding Javier I used to use Alexandar Tents, Premier Party Central and American Party Rental. All who were sub-par. With Austin Chair & Table Rentals you get everything that all the other rental companies provide, but at a better price and THE SERVICE IS AWESOME! I acutally have an event comming up in May 2012, and I can't wait to work with him and his team again. They trully make my job for rentals EASY when I am in AUSTIN! Thanks Javier and Austin Chair & Table Rental! P.S. Look no further, you will just be wasting time! Chef Michelle read more

Called Austin Chair & Table Rental and left a message...no call back. I called back the next day and spoke with Javier. He said he was with a customer and would call me back...never heard back from him. Not going to call a third time. With all the positive reviews, I was hoping to have a better experience but will have take my business elsewhere. read more

Javier was very professional, efficient and kind. The service was excellent and the cost for rental was comparable to the competitors in the area, if not better. read more

I called this business on 5/14 but got a message stating the voicemail was full. Red flag for a business, right? I sent Javier an email. He stated that "it's been crazy (to busy)" (sic) and asked for my phone number. No mention of fixing the voicemail issue. I emailed him back my number but never got a call. And when I called again to follow up... voicemail still full. It's great that business is good for Javier, but will it continue to be if he cannot properly manage his customer contacts? I wonder about those customers whose voicemails are still waiting on the line... and what happens if you need to reach him about your event? read more

Javier at Austin Chair and Table is so great to work with. We've rented from them several times and delivery and pick up always goes without a hitch. They are down to earth and friendly. Products are quality and price is always great! read more

Amazing customer service! Good, quality products. Excellent delivery and pick up. Rental rates are the lowest in town :) I'm pretty particular about my events and can be annoying with my questions/desire to make sure things are done properly, but I felt at ease and respected here. They even accomodated a morning of change from me picking up the equipment to having it delivered. I rented tables and chairs for a baby shower in September and will be renting from them again for a backyard cookout. Will return to write more soon, but this place is my go to for furniture rental needs from now on. Keep up the good work! Highly recommended!!! read more

This review is well deserved and long overdue. I rented a tent, tables, chairs, dishes, etc, to create an experience for my friends and family. The experience ended with a dinner in Zilker Park, under our violet crown evening sky in a tent environment created by Javier. The photos show the experience to be exactly what I envisioned. Javier heard me, asked questions, gave great advice, and delivered/executed the plan beautifully. I recommend Austin Chair and Table to others and they are always very happy with the customer service, quality of the products and the price. read more

This is the WORST company to deal with if showing up matters. Javier ask me & my team to wait till 830pm and then he went home for dinner and never show up . The next day he said 10am and 3 hours later he stopped answering his phone VERY UNDEPENDABLE would be a nice comment Rude and unprofessional would be what this company is going to deliver Please Use AMERICAN PARTY RENTALS read more

I used Austin Chair & Table Rental for a work event I had this past month. Let me tell you Javier was very nice and extremely flexible plus I did my research and he has the best prices in town. Most rental companies are sticklers when it comes to date, time, deposit, and pick-up. This place is not. Just talk to Javier and let him know your situation and he will do his best to work with you. Javier worked with me every step of the way and I would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

Javier has saved the day for me more than once for me. I often find myself putting on events at the last minute or changing things as I go. He is amazing. He even delivered at 9PM once for a soft opening I had. Thanks Javier for going the extra mile to make me look good read more

Had just what I needed for my 30th bday party at the best rates in town! Table and chairs in great condition. Friendly and accomedating!

This place is awesome. Needed 15 chairs for a party and found this place through Yelp. (Thanks Yelp!) The chairs were 85 cents a piece and there was no minimum on the number of chairs you have to rent. Called and Javier told me to just come by and pick them up. Showed up with my truck, took about 5 minutes for paperwork and the guys in the back loaded them in my truck and we were off. The chairs worked great and we returned them 2 days later as requested. They had some nice looking event furniture for rent at the place and we plan on renting again if we need to. If you need chairs though, this is the place to go! read more

Honestly wish i had picked another vendor. Unprofessional, rude, not on time when stated they would arrive, confrontational and above all a poorly done installation. Do not recommend, have filed complaint with the Better Business Burea. read more

I would highly recommend using Austin Chair & Table Rental. My experience was top notch from the second Elsie answered the phone to having the items ready and loaded on to my truck, to the pick up of the items I rented, everything was a pleasurable experience. Mr. Martinez was professional & diligent. It was nothing less than a 5 star experience the whole way around. read more

Outstanding customer service. My company needed rentals same day and they were able to get us what we needed within a couple of hours. Prices are also very reasonable. I called a couple of other rental places that didn't answer and never called me back. Javier answered immediately and after a brief conversation, he told me exactly what we needed. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely the worst company I have ever rented furniture from. We called them a month in advance and they sent the reservation form to the wrong email address. They spelled the company name wrong to a major, reputable team with over 70 locations- get it together. When I called 2 days before the event they had already rented one of the items I previously tried to hold (the main entrance piece we were going to use). They told me they had another event that day and would have to drop off the items early at 7am. I told them where to drop them off and that someone would be there to oversee the items until the volunteers for the event showed up to start set-up at 9:00am. Once the event was over we waited over an hour for them to come pick-up the items, which we paid $175 extra for because it was a Sunday. They never came. My team had to carry everything upstairs, by themselves, in the rain. Then later that night their pick-up guy called my personal cell phone at 9:00pm to come get everything. This was an event that I planned, and I wasn't there to let him in when he conveniently came to pick up everything 6 hours past our allotted time. I told them they needed to call in the morning and luckily, we moved everything inside for them so their items wouldn't get stolen as the location of the event was on a public jogging trail that outsiders of the building had access to. In the morning on Monday, they called my cell phone again, after calling my office number to ask if they could come get the items. I told them it was my birthday and to call the actual location of where the event took place, not my office. As I was driving to go to lunch I wasn't able to look up the number for them due to the hands-free driving law and the women told me she "didn't have time for this" and hung up on me. If they would've just picked everything up when they said, or had the reservation right in the first place, none of this would've happened. We're currently trying to get some sort of a discount for having to deal with the hassle and extra man power. This is their email response: Hello McKenna, Very simple, you get upset because we didn't pick up the equipment @ 3:30 BUT when we tried to contact you in the morning as well the contact person on the contract to received the equipment NO ONE NEVER BOTHER to answer our calls and text messages. the equipment kept there along and now you turn around and tell me what you just did on your email. My crew stopped by to pick up the equipment and they found only the chairs y you were concern about the equipment WHY you only yoke the tables and not all of it. We will pick up our tables tomorrow and during the day and I hope SOMEONE will answer our calls tinker us know we're they are. Javier M.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We rented chairs for our wedding then paid an extra $175 to have them picked up the same night (which is ridiculous). Chairs were not picked up that night and we were still charged. When we called to speak with them about the issue the receptionist told 3 different stories about when they showed up, none of which were accurate. Told us all sales were final then the lady began to speak loudly and extremely ghetto then hung up on us. Terrible company with horrific customer service with uneducated employees. read more

We had a great experience with Javier and his assistant, Elsie. They returned my phone calls and emails promptly and were kind and accommodating to our needs for our wedding rentals. All of the rental pieces (tables, chairs, plates, linens, etc...) were delivered on time and in great shape. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them for your next event. Thank you Javier and Elsie for everything! read more

I ordered 5 cocktail tables, table clothes and ties from Austin Chair and Table Rental. The delivery was on time and the staff were willing to help us understand how to tie the ties. The tables really added to my party. read more

I've used AC&TR twice, once for my wedding and once for a large party, and Javier and Elsie are wonderful to work with. Quick, easy delivery, along with very competitive rates. Will definitely use them again! read more

I'll add to the chorus: these guys are great, and Javier is an amazing business man and a helluva guy. I called him about two weeks prior to hosting a major wedding-related event in my backyard to arrange tents, chairs, and tables for about 70 people. He was very helpful in figuring out our needs, and his prices were great. But even more than that, he was incredibly patient as our order changed and became more complex (e.g. we eventually cancelled the tent and Javier didn't bat an eye), and especially when we played phone tag for a while on getting the final contract settled and signed. I don't think we hammered out the final details until literally just a few days before, but Javier was very understanding. He's also full of energy --- I don't think Javier sleeps, he'll respond to an email after midnight and call you back first thing in the morning! I can't recommend Austin Chair and Table Rental enough. If you're hosting an event, they have great prices, great stuff, and absolutely excellent service. Use no one else. read more

I have used Austin Chair & Table Rental for several company events. Javier and his team are always on time, with fantastic attention to detail. Great prices and customer service! read more

First time using this company, I called them because of the yelp reviews. Javier was terrific. I only needed one table and 8 chairs. A pleasure to deal with. Will definately use them anytime I have the need. read more

Planning a pre-wedding barbecue party from Pennsylvania that was to occur in Texas had its stresses, so finding Javier of Austin Chair and Table was a huge relief. He answered the phone and replied to emails at all times. Extremely professional and polite, and was the only rental agency that would deliver,, the small amount of chairs and tables and coolers that I needed. (All the other rental businesses refused.) Everything I ordered was exactly as specified, and he was flexible in the pick-up, not requiring me to be there which allowed me to enjoy the time with all the friends and family who had traveled to Austin for the wedding festivities. Give this company your business. You will not be disappointed! read more

Rented chairs and coctail table for my son's wedding, which was held at a public park on a Sunday. Critical, everything be delivered and picked-up on time. Couldn't have gone better. Javier was very easy to work with. Prices were very reasonable, too. I would highly recommend Javier to my friends, or anyone else with needs such as mine. Very positive experience. read more

first time i used these guys, i accidentally ordered the wrong chairs. they got delivered on-time and by the time i realized my mistake, the truck was long gone. i was in a mild panic so i called javier and he assured me he would take care of it. he made an extra trip to upgrade my order, pick-up the proper chairs and redeliver what i should have ordered in the first place--all in a couple of hours on the same day. it was impressive. javier is very personable and really makes you feel like things will get handled. most other companies i've found to be kinda shady and untrustworthy so it was very refreshing. i've used these guys 2 other times over the past year or so. the only reason they don't get 5 stars is i want to use them a few more times and make sure they are consistently awesome...so far so good though. read more

Javier is wonderful to deal with! Went out of his way to help us with the rental for my daughter's wedding. Easy to reach, quick to respond, and he was busy! Thanks for making this a great experience! read more
