Editor's Notes
March 27, 2020:
While table number stands are obviously very useful tools, just like any other object many people lay hands on, please consider developing some best practices when it comes to using them. For instance, if you know you’ll use your stands in a public setting like a cafe or dining room, make sure to wash your hands before and after touching them, as with all communal surfaces. Similarly, if you ever touch one, you should at least sanitize your hands afterward if you can’t get to a sink where you can wash with soap and water for a whole 20 seconds. Viruses are known to survive on metal surfaces for days at a time.
A good degree of preference was given to designs with long shafts like the New Star Foodservice Ring-Clip, Aieve Wire Clips, and Radezon Photo Stand since users who might grab them in a foodservice setting are more likely to hold their midsection rather than their base, where they make contact with other surfaces in places a lot of germs might be present. This is being written during a pandemic, and we believe that not enough attention can be given to safe, healthful, and sanitary practices. These considerations are more geared toward cafes and counter service restaurants, where the number stands will most likely be used again and again by a lot of different patrons. Meanwhile, models like the Jofefe Tall Card Holders, Hohiya Diamond, and Senover Rustic Wood are included because they are popular, attractive, and functional, but lower in the ranking because their appearance is less general.
