Ok, reading the responses it seems that we should go for
the "tables with no strings attached" option and put
a price tag of EUR 100 on each of them.

We will then drop the guards and extra insurance against
theft and leave it up to the exhibitors to decide what's
best for them.

We still require signup for the tables, though, since
we'll have to organize them.

How does that sound ?
