Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, we're here to help

Where are the cafe chairs made?

Most modern cafe furniture is made in Italy. Italy has a longstanding reputation for consistently producing high-quality safe tables and chairs. We also have a selection of cafe chairs that are made in the UK which have a shorter order time.

UK made cafe chairs:

Flx cafe chair
Ovo cafe chair
Poly cafe chair

How long do the cafe chairs take to order?

The order time for our cafe chairs is around 4-6 weeks. However, some chairs are kept in stock, which can shorten their delivery time to one week.

These are normal order times, but are subject to change depending on the time of year. Please email us for up-to-date order times.

Where can the cafe chairs be delivered to?

Our cafe and bistro chairs can be delivered anywhere in the UK, including areas like Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland. Delivery to some northern regions of Scotland can be more costly, so please contact us for a quote.

Are assembly instructions included?

  • Most of the cafe chairs arrive assembled.
  • All you have to do is open the box and carefully lift the chairs out of the box.
  • If the seat needs attaching to the legs there are usually only four screws that need tightening which only takes five minutes.
  • Assembly instructions will be included or we can supply a delivery and assembly service.

What is the warranty?

All our cafe chairs come with a 5-year warranty. This covers the furniture for manufacturing defects but does not cover any accidental damage or general wear and tear. Please contact Spaceist for more information on warranties.

What stacking capacity should I look for in commercial cafe chairs?

For maximum efficiency in a busy venue look for chairs that stack high. Chairs that stack 15-20 high save a lot of space, making evening clean-downs quicker and creating flexible floor space for private events or functions.

Our stacking ranges, like the Ara Cafe Chair, are designed for this purpose and prevent damage to the frames or finishes when stored.

How do I calculate the number of chairs for my floor plan?

A good rule of thumb is 1.1 to 1.3 square metres per person which includes the chair and enough space for a guest to sit and for staff to move around. We highly recommend using our free space planning service.

Our experts will create a 2D layout of your venue, optimising your seating capacity and traffic flow so you can maximise revenue without compromising on comfort or safety.

How Much Do Bistro & Cafe Chairs Cost?

The price of cafe chairs varies depending on materials, design, and custom features. For budget-friendly options, explore models like the Grace Cafe Chair. Contact us for specific pricing or for more information.
