Yes. If you would like to see a table set up, please call our office at least 1 week in advance. Our event specialist will have a table set with the party rentals of your choice, such as linens, china, flatware, and glassware. If you would like to see more than 1 table setting, please let our Event Specialist know and he or she will be able to set those items aside for you in advance.

Yes. If you would like to see other items besides table settings, please contact our Event Specialists in advance so that we may have those rental items prepared for you.  Most of our items are stored in our main warehouse in Milpitas.  If you would like to come to our Dublin showroom, please contact that location to see whether they have the rental items you are interested in available at their location.  If they do not have them readily available, they can request that the rental item be shuttled to their location from our Milpitas warehouse.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

To qualify for delivery, the total price of an order must meet or exceed a minimum cost threshold (labor and delivery charges are separate). The minimum order amount varies based on your geographic area and distance from our warehouse location.  If delivery is requested and the order qualifies, a Delivery Charge is added.

Please contact an Event Specialist for details on the minimum order total and delivery charge for your specific needs.
Customers are always welcome to come to either of our two showrooms in Milpitas and Dublin to pick up and drop off rental items via Will Call.

If you require special services or rental items you do not see listed in the price list, simply contact a customer service associate. We are constantly adding new rental items to our inventory and may have what you are looking for.

Stuart requires a 50% deposit for all reservations.  The balance is due 2-5 days before your order goes out. We accept cash, check, MasterCard, and Visa for payment.  If you choose to pay by cash or check, we require a credit card to be placed on file for security purposes only.  Charge accounts are available to pre-approved customers only.

Pricing quoted is for a one-period charge, which is generally 2 days, depending on delivery and pickup dates. Weekend rentals are typically from Friday to Monday with no additional extended rental fees.  If you wish to rent items over an extended period of time, please call our office for special rates.

If you locate and return any missing items, your account will be credited. Any damaged inventory for which you are charged will be available for 10 days following your event if you wish to pick-up these items.

Responsibility for rented items remains with the customer from the time of delivery to return. Additional charges are made for damages and shortages.

Deposits for orders over $10,000.00 are non refundable.

Specialty items may be subject to a 100% cancellation fee prior to the 30-day notification specified above.  Fees vary depending upon the item(s) ordered.  Please ask your Event specialist for further details.

There will be no charge for items cancelled more than 30 days prior to delivery or will call date.
Because all reserved equipment is prepared, staged and packed, a restocking fee will apply as follow:
– Items cancelled within 30 days of delivery or will call – 25% restocking fee
– Items cancelled within 5 days before delivery or will call – 50% restocking fee
– Items cancelled within 24 hours of delivery or will call – 100% restocking fee

Tables and chairs should be stacked in the manner in which it was delivered. All china, glassware, flatware, etc., should be rinsed, refuse-free and replaced in their delivery containers. Linens will be delivered on hangers with a plastic wrap over them.  Upon pick-up of the linens, they should be dry and refuse-free to prevent mildew and staining. Return of hangers would be greatly appreciated.  Additional charges are made when extraordinary cleaning is required and for missing containers.

Yes. In California, most party rentals are taxable — including tables, chairs, tents, and linens — because they’re considered tangible property. Some charges, like delivery or setup, may not be taxed if they are itemized separately.

Delivery fees may be exempt from sales tax if they are listed as a separate charge on your invoice. If delivery is bundled with your rental items as one total, the entire amount can be taxable.

No. Labor-only services like setup and takedown are generally not taxable, but they must be shown as separate line items. If labor is included in a single package price, sales tax may apply to the full amount.

Only nonprofits that provide valid exemption documentation are exempt from sales tax. Without the proper paperwork, nonprofits must pay tax on rentals like any other customer.
