Dining chairs
The bread and butter of our floor. A dining chair has to look right in a catalogue photo and still survive a busy restaurant — those two jobs pull in different directions, and most of our work is balancing them.
The first question we ask is the frame. A bent-steel tube frame (we run 1.2–1.5 mm wall on dining legs) is the value workhorse — light to ship, hard to break, and it powder-coats in any RAL you send us. Solid beech reads warmer and suits a higher retail price, but it costs more and the lead time is longer because the timber has to be dried and matched. For a 200-cover restaurant rollout we usually steer buyers to steel; for a boutique hotel we don't.
Then the cover. Velvet photographs beautifully and is what sells online, but in a venue that wipes tables ten times a night a tight-weave fabric or a PU face cleans better and lasts longer. We will tell you that before you sample, not after. Foam under the seat sits around 28–35 kg/m³ on dining chairs — enough to hold its shape through daily use without turning the seat into a slab.

Specs above are typical build options, not a fixed datasheet — tell us your market and target price and we'll confirm what we'd actually quote, including the choices we'd talk you out of.

Chair types, quantities and your market in a few lines. If something is outside what we run well, we'll say so rather than burn your sampling budget.
