Discover everything you need to know about restaurant chairs, from style and design, to cost and atmosphere, with this complete guide.

Restaurant chairs are one of the most crucial features when it comes to considering the design of a dining area. With such a wide range of chair styles available, the range of dining atmospheres you can create through your choice of chair is almost endless. Whether you are decking out a large scale restaurant, a small bistro, or just adding some class to the dining room at home, your choice of chair will affect every other aspect of the dining ambiance you create.

Popular Types


Bar Stools.
Bar stools are tall, comfortable and appealing to practically everyone, plus they are available in a variety of styles and materials, such as wood, metal, steel, etc. So if you want to attract customers to sit down and eventually place an order for food and drinks, or you simply want to add some class to your home interior decor, bar stools are the perfect choice. They are also widely considered as one of the most inviting places to sit down!

Bistro Chairs. Add a touch of simple charm to any restaurant setting with bistro chairs and furniture. Bistro chairs are frequently used in small, wine-serving restaurants that offer great food, drink and atmosphere, without the formality of an large, expensive restaurant. Bistro restaurant chairs are usually light in colour and weight, which adds to the relaxed, informal feeling they give out to diners, and are available in a wide range of designs, styles and colours. Bistro chairs can also be bought in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, aluminum, wicker and plastic.

Banquet Chairs. For the large scale restaurant you will be looking to invest in a set of banquet chairs to fulfill the needs of your customers. Since they are used to allow a large number of people to dine at the one time, banquet chairs are usually quite simple in their design, and never too elaborate or extravagant. Another consideration you should make when purchasing banquet chairs is storage. Since they are intended to take up a large space or hall, you should always look for banquet chairs that can be stacked up and stored elsewhere after use.

Seating Booths. Seating booths are another very popular choice for restaurateurs and upmarket interior decorators, since they provide relatively more privacy and intimacy than “open” style seating layouts. One consideration you should always make with seating booths is installation. Make sure you will have enough room to install the booths, and check whether you will need to employ people to fit them.

Tips for Buying


Price Vs. Quantity
. If you are making a middle or large sized order for restaurant chairs, you should always be looking to try and get a reasonable bulk discount from the manufacturer or retailer.

Storage. I have already mentioned chair storage when it comes to purchasing banquet chairs, but storage should really be a consideration for all types of chair, especially if you are buying your restaurant chairs in bulk or have limited space.
