How long will commercial-grade restaurant chairs last?

Commercial-grade restaurant chairs have a life-span between 5-7 years. It all depends on how they’re used. However, for carefully treated chairs, or chairs known in the industry to be exceedingly durable, the lifespan could extend to 12 years.

What makes a chair commercial-grade?

Commercial-grade chairs are designed to withstand the wear and tear of heavy everyday use. Constructed with quality as a priority, these chairs are usually built with fully welded metal frames, or tongue and groove joinery for wood chairs. Simply put, commercial chairs are built to last in high-traffic areas for years.

How comfortable are restaurant chairs?

Simply put, it depends. All of our chairs are built for comfort to one level or another, although our upholstered options are the best choice for user comfort. Offered with plush padding, these chairs are designed for extended periods of seating without discomfort. Chairs without padding, like those with wood or metal seats, are designed primarily for use in venues where there is higher turnover and there is no expectation of prolonged seating. In essence, comfort level is relative, and varying degrees of user comfort are expected in various commercial venues.

Can I see examples of your chairs in restaurant settings?

We offer 2 options for viewing our chairs in their natural environment. The first is our galleries. Located at the bottom of each product page are galleries showcasing restaurants with that product. This will allow you to see other venues’ design choices and how our products look in their venues. In addition, we showcase a variety of restaurant installations, featuring an in-depth exploration of specific restaurants and how our furniture plays a role in their success.
