Equipales


Many people ask about Equipales. Most want to know what they are. The word comes from Nahuatl meaning "place to sit". There are many different qualities of equipales. They are made of pigskin and the woven wood can be willow, rosa morada or other woods. Be sure that you buy them from a reputable store where they are fumigated and insect-free.

The pigskin comes in different colors and can also be upholstered in a fabric that you select. The best and most comfortable equipales are padded. Prices can vary depending on the style that you choose. A glass top can be added to the tables making them a bit larger.
