How to Buy Commercial Chairs

wood restaurant chairsMany first time commercial furniture buyers will benefit from some advice regarding how to purchase commercial chairs.  Many commercial furniture companies sell on the internet, and two commercial chairs that look exactly the same may not be constructed of the same quality.  This article covers a few basic items to consider when shopping for commercial chairs.

Buy from an Experienced Company

There are a lot of commercial furniture suppliers on the internet of varying quality.  To determine if a company is reputable, first inquire if their chairs are rated for commercial use.  An experienced, reputable online furniture company will offer a warranty for a certain period of time on all of its products.  Purchasing chairs that are not commercially rated without a warranty can leave businesses responsible for damages to customers or staff if a chair breaks or otherwise causes an injury.  Commercial chairs with warranties are built to higher standards and are more durable.

Customers should also check into the background of companies they are considering purchasing commercial chairs from.  It pays to research how long a particular company has been in business. Many furniture companies on the internet come and go.  Customers should look for a commercial furniture supplier who has been in business for a long time and has a history in commercial furniture, and who will be in business in the future for assistance.  Missouri Table and Chair, a highly reputable commercial furniture dealer, has been in business since 1978 selling commercial furniture.  All of Missouri Table and Chair’s salespeople are experienced and knowledgeable in assisting customers with commercial chairs for restaurants, hotels, meeting rooms, conference centers, or any other type of hospitality industry setting.

Buy Quality Commercial Chairs

As mentioned above, two commercial chairs that look alike may not be manufactured with the same quality or from the same materials.  What makes a quality commercial chair?  A few important details are covered below.  Many quality restaurant chairs are manufactured from beech hardwood which is a quality wood commonly used in commercial furniture.  It is a great wood choice for chairs because it is great for staining which creates a beautiful finish, and it is also very durable.  Chair frame construction of beech hardwood assists in the stability and longevity of commercial wood chairs.

Some other chair features which affect the quality are sculpted­­ wood seats ensuring customers comfort, and thick side rail construction which supports people climbing and resting their feet on the rails.  Raised back slats on chair backs allow for easy cleaning and curved slats hug the body for extra comfort for customers.  Many other features, such as the way the joints in the chair are made and whether they have a compressed tenon joint, affect the quality of commercial chairs.

Buy at Every Price Point

When it comes to prices for commercial chairs, it is really up to the buyer’s needs and their budgets.  There are quality commercial chairs at almost every price point.  Different styles of restaurants and commercial businesses will want to achieve a different look or theme, and the type of establishment first time buyers are hoping to own will assist in the determination of their individual chair budget.  The owner of a small diner will most likely purchase a different style chair than someone opening a custom steakhouse.

In general, there are budget friendly options for all types of commercial chairs.  There are commercially rated metal chair options such as the A188-S and the A199 with starting prices at $41.00.  Folding and stacking chair options start at only $21.00.  Great quality wood chairs with a commercial warranty such as the A1412 start at only $51.00 each.  All other commercial chair categories start at comparable budget friendly prices.  Some uniquely styled wood chairs with custom upholstery are available for around $300, and there are options at every price point in between.

For customers who want to match other restaurant colors or upholstery, there are many chairs that are available with COM, which is the option of using the customers own upholstery or one of thousands of online manufacturers styles and colors of upholstery to finish their chairs.  This allows a business to truly create one of a kind commercial chairs for their business.
