Metal restaurant chairs

Match the furniture to how each room is used

Think about the room this piece will live in before you settle on it. A banquet hall that clears every Sunday wants chairs that lift and stack, while a bar with regulars wants a stool that stays put. Save each choice to the venue plan for that room, with its finish noted, so a second order matches the first.

Seats differ more than frames among metal restaurant chairs: settle wood, vinyl or fabric for each room first, since a bar lounge and a family dining room seldom want the same one.

Look at the finish and construction

Compare the stated frame material and the available finish, including coated or wood-look options where offered. Keep those descriptions separate: the appearance of a finish does not change the underlying frame material.

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.

Venue plans

Metal chairs seat a great many dining rooms, from the neighborhood grill to the club's casual room upstairs. These 121 chairs have metal frames, some finished to look like wood, and a seat of vinyl, wood or fabric on each. The frame is rarely the hard choice. The back and the seat are, so start there.

Backs set the mood of the room

Look down a row of chairs from the host stand and you see backs, not frames. Upholstered backs lead here with 42 chairs, and 52 list a padded back, the choice for a dinner room where guests stay through dessert. Curved backs follow with 18, bucket shapes with 12, interchangeable backs with 11, ladder backs with seven and vertical slats with five. Ladder backs have a page of their own under metal ladder back chairs, and the padded ones are gathered under upholstered-back metal chairs.

A plain observation from a lot of rooms: an open back makes a crowded floor feel larger. A padded back makes a large floor feel warmer.

Seats for the way the room turns

Vinyl is the most common seat, listed on 97 chairs, then wood on 55 and fabric on 29. Upholstery options appear on 79, so one frame can serve two rooms with two covers. Vinyl wipes down fast between a lunch crowd and the dinner seating. Wood suits a taproom or a counter-service room. Fabric reads softer in a room lit for the evening.

Seat heights, where listed, mostly fall between 18 and 20 inches, which sits right under a dining top of 29 to 30 inches. Arms appear on 15 chairs and three swivel. Only seven stack, so for a function room that clears every weekend, stacking chairs is the better page.

Metal beside wood

Metal frames with a wood look number 13 here, and more of them wait under metal chairs with wood look. They let a dining room keep a warm wood tone while matching the metal stools at the bar. If you want real timber, wood chairs sits beside this page.

A ladder-back metal dining chair takes a floor patch 17 inches across and 20 deep, rising 32 1/2 inches, a compact footprint for a tight four-top. Single chairs run from $68 to $347. Draw each room in venue plans with its chair, its seat cover and its count, and the bar and dining room can share a frame while keeping their own seats.
