What types of cafe chair are there?
Plastic Chairs:
This type of chair is economically priced, hard-wearing, suitable for outdoors, lightweight for easy moving and can be quickly cleaned and wiped down.
Usually available in a selection of bright colours including red, green, pink and blue. Our cafe furniture is suitable for all commercial areas from schools, colleges staff canteens and hospitals.
Stacking Chairs:
Essential for any outdoor space where the furniture needs to carried indoors to store overnight. Usually, fairly light and made from plastic or metal in a variety of modern styles and shapes.
Make life easier and use a purpose-built trolley to wheel the chairs around.
Wood or Wooden Chairs:
Usually more expensive than the average cafe chair but has a warmer look and feel compared to plastic and metal. For use indoors only and usually not stackable a wood bistro chair looks great against a plainer interior.
Metal Chairs:
Long-lasting, suitable for outdoors and wipable makes an aluminium or steel chair a practical choice for outdoor eating and drinking areas. Compared to plastic or wood the designs can be more elaborate and refined.
Not suitable for very hot locations because the metal will heat up where plastic will not.
Recycled Plastic Chairs:
100% recycled plastic bistro chairs are still fairly new and only a few exist but the environmental impact must make them the first choice for anyone who only wants plastic cafe chairs.
The recycled plastic is from domestic and commercial users and the only downside is the colour is limited to grey. The new Remind bistro style chair is made from 100% recycled plastic is stackable and wipeable.
Plywood Chairs:
This style of cafe furniture has been around for a while and is usually fairly plain in design. The seat is made from plywood which is then bent into shape and mounted to a chromed metal frame. The plywood can be then painted in a bright colour or veneered in oak, walnut or beech wood.
