Wood or Wooden Chair:
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 cafe chair looks great against a plainer interior.
Metal Chair:
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 Chair:
100% recycled plastic 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 Chair:
This style of chair 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.
Are your chairs suitable for commercial and business use?
It’s really important to source properly graded commercial furnishings for commercial and high-traffic spaces, like offices, cafes, schools, restaurants or canteens. Domestic furniture models simply won’t be up to the job and can’t normally withstand the extra wear and tear that comes with non-domestic use.
At Spaceist, all of our cafe chairs are specially designed and suitable for commercial and business use in the busiest environments. Whatever your trade, if you have a specific furniture requirement in mind just ask our experts on 020 8840 6298.
Can your chairs be moved around easily?
Chairs need to be easy to move, for arranging and rearranging eating and drinking spaces, simplicity of cleaning and most importantly, to allow drinkers and diners to mix and mingle. Many of our chairs are fairly light and can be moved from place to place easily.
There are even chairs available with a wheeled trolley which allows them to be stacked onto the trolley and simply moved by one person to overnight storage or different locations.
