Restaurant armchairs

Plan the room around the changeover

Start with the seat count for the room and the way your team will set it. Then read the listed dimensions, the frame and the seat options, and whether a model is marked as stackable. A ballroom, a restaurant and a terrace each deserve their own line, so the order reads the way the property is laid out.

Arms add width, so give each guest more than the usual 24 inches along the table when restaurant armchairs fill a restaurant table or a head table.

Check the arms against the table

Compare the listed arm height and overall width with the table edge and apron. An armchair or armed stool may need a different position from a visually similar armless model.

Read the footprint

Compare the listed overall width and depth with the space at your table. Armrests, the table apron, and the chair back all affect how the chair fits into the arrangement.

Property plans

Arms tell a guest to settle in. The 75 chairs here suit the places where people stay longest: the head table at a wedding, the hotel restaurant's window tables, a private dining room upstairs. Frames are wood, aluminum, aluminum with a wood look and metal. Check width first, since arms take more of the table edge than a side chair does.

Width at the table

Plan a side chair at roughly 24 inches of the table's edge, or 18 when space is short. An armchair needs more. Read the width on each listing and lay it along the table you plan to use. One aluminum dining chair here is listed at 26 inches wide, two inches past that standard place, and along a head table for twelve those inches add up to two feet.

On the listings, 18 3/4 inches is the commonest seat height (11 chairs), ahead of 19 (10) and 18 1/2 (9). Each sits inside the 17 to 19 inch band for a dining top of about 29 to 30 inches.

Frames and backs

Upholstered backs lead, on 52 chairs, and padded backs appear on 33. Wood frames, on 19, suit a traditional dining room. Aluminum with a wood look, on 18, puts a wood tone on an aluminum frame, and metal frames account for 16 more, plain aluminum for 14. For an armchair in a fully upholstered design, see the upholstered chairs; for a wood tone on metal, the metal chairs with wood look.

As for seats, vinyl appears on 73, fabric on 60, wood on 15; upholstery options are listed on 67. Sixteen show BIFMA certification on their own product page, and that page is the place to read it. For wood armchairs, the warranty period is 1 year.

Head tables, resets and the rest of the room

A head table is set and struck in one evening at many weddings. Only 22 of these chairs stack, most of them five high, so plan storage for the others, or set the head table with banquet chairs and keep the armchairs for the restaurant. Indoor use is listed on 49; keep every armchair inside unless its listing says patio, and send the terrace to the outdoor chairs.

Prices start around $94 and reach $389. The side chairs for the same rooms are back in chairs. Mark the armchairs on the restaurant's property plan at their real widths, so the count fits the tables. In the private dining room, armchairs at both ends of a long table with side chairs along it save width and still mark the host's place.
