Choosing café chairs

Here are our tips for choosing and caring for your café chairs but bear in mind that caring for the chairs starts with making the right choice of chair in the first place.

Firstly you need to decide on the type of materials for your chairs. This will be influenced by where you want to use your chairs, ie. indoors or out, your décor, and most importantly, your budget.

Location

Outdoor chairs use different materials to indoor chairs for the obvious reason that the harsh Australian climate will place considerable stress on them. For example, aluminium chairs are an ideal choice for outdoors since they’re rust proof and lightweight, as are resin chairs. They’re also waterproof and resistant to UV rays. For indoor use then wooden chairs are better suited.

Décor

Industrial style furniture is very popular at present, as in our range of replica Tolix chairs and bar stools and these are most suited to a modern décor. Our Madeline chairs also boast clean lines and modern aesthetics. Wooden chairs such as our Bentwood cabaret chairs are more in keeping with a traditional décor and our ladder back chairs also work well.

Budget

Wooden chairs are often more expensive than resin or metal chairs because of the manufacturing costs involved, but things such as the complexity of the design can also play a part.

Secondly you need to consider the size of your chairs and this will be determined by a couple of factors:

Size of your floor space

Smaller chairs are more suited to a small space than larger chairs which will swamp the area and also reduce the amount of customers you can have seated. If space is tight then consider armless chairs and bar stools as these will take up less room around a table or in a corner. If you’ve got acres of space then consider strategically placing a couple of armchairs and Ottomans alongside tables and chairs to encourage customers to linger longer.

Target market

You also need to take into consideration who your target market are. Older people will appreciate chairs with arms whereas younger people will be happy with bar stools or armless chairs. Families will appreciate high chairs for the baby that can be positioned around their table.

Caring for your chairs

Caring for your chairs should be a relatively easy task particularly if you pay attention to the instructions of the manufacturer. That said, here are a few tips to follows:

• Wipe your chairs on a regular basis with a clean cloth to remove dust
• Re-stain any wood that has faded and/or repaint metal components to keep your chairs looking smart and attractive

• Check all chair joints to ensure that they haven’t gone rusty particularly in the case of folding chairs
  

With the right choice of comfortable, trendy and stylish café chairs your customers will enjoy their drinks and snacks and this will encourage them to come back on a regular basis.
