Collection: Chairs

Commercial chairs are built for daily abuse — high-traffic dining rooms, function rooms and outdoor decks. Hospitality Connect stocks the trade range in stackable polypropylene, powder-coated steel, timber-frame, upholstered banquette and bentwood styles for cafés, restaurants, hotels, pubs and event venues.

Types and use cases

• Stackable polypropylene chairs: Indoor/outdoor; UV-rated; stack 4–8 high for storage. The default for cafés, function venues and hire fleets.
• Bentwood and timber-frame chairs: European-style bentwood and beechwood chairs for traditional cafés, brasseries and bistros.
• Upholstered dining chairs: Vinyl or fabric seat and back panels for fine dining, hotels and function rooms.
• Bar stools: 660mm and 760mm seat heights for bench tables and bar fronts; powder-coated steel and timber options.
• Outdoor and balcony chairs: Aluminium, woven wicker and resin lines for terraces, beer gardens and rooftop bars.

Material and durability considerations

Frame durability matters more than upholstery in commercial use. Powder-coated steel and aluminium tubular frames absorb a decade of dragging and stacking; timber frames are beautiful but need annual joint inspection in busy venues. Polypropylene shells fade if exposed to AU sun — specify UV-stabilised grades for outdoor use. Vinyl upholstery cleans down with mild detergent and survives commercial wear; bonded leather looks premium but tears at the seams within 18 months under heavy traffic.

Compliance, comfort and ergonomics

• Standard dining seat height: 460mm; bench and bar tables run 760mm; high bar/island tables run 1100mm with 760mm stools.
• Stack ratings: Confirm safe stack height — most stackable chairs rate 4–8 high. Higher stacks need a chair trolley.
• Australian fire compliance: Upholstered hospitality furniture should meet AS/NZS 3837 ignition standards for venue use.
• Outdoor weight: Lightweight outdoor chairs blow over in coastal or hilltop venues — specify weighted bases or galvanised steel.
