Chairs and tables for restaurants

What to check before you buy

Leave room for knees

Between the seat and the underside of the table top, leave 25 to 30 cm. Measure the underside, not the top: a frame under the top takes space. Dimensions guide

Count the seats before you order

A full-service dining room needs about 1.0 to 1.3 m² per seat, fine dining about 1.7 to 1.9 m². That includes tables and walkways. Seating planner

Match bar stools to the counter

For a bar about 107 cm high, choose a seat of about 76 cm. For a counter about 91 cm high, about 58 to 61 cm.

Think about the nightly clean

If chairs come off the floor every night, stacking models are easier to clear and store. 29 of our restaurant and hotel models stack.

Put your brand on the chair

15 of our models have an option to cut your logo or symbol into the back.

Upholstered? Check the fire rules

In the UK, restaurants are on the medium hazard level of BS 7176 for upholstered seating. Other countries have their own rules. Fire rules guide
