Banquet Room Chairs Key Terms

Learn banquet room chairs key terms to make a smart decision

Many companies need banquet chairs from time to time, but trying to decide what type of chair to buy can be difficult. There are a number of different chairs to choose from and businesses should decide whether they need something permanent or temporary. Stackable or folding chairs are inexpensive and easy to store, while Chiavari chairs make for a classy presentation. Covers and sashes can also set the tone for your event. Learn the following terms to help you decide what you need.

Stackable banquet chairs

Stackable banquet chairs are designed to stack on top of each other. This allows businesses to purchase many chairs, but store them easily. Even within the stackable chairs category, there are many different styles to choose from.

Folding banquet chairs

Folding banquet chairs are also inexpensive and easy to store. Rather than storing vertically, however, folding chairs will store horizontally. This means that they may take up a bit more space than stackable chairs.

Chiavari chairs

Chiavari chairs are elegant and made from wood. They have become a popular choice for weddings.

Chair covers and sashes

Chair covers and sashes can make plain-Jane banquet chairs look more elegant. Covers and sashes come in a variety of colors and fabrics, which means that they can suit any design. You can use the covers alone or with a sash in a contrasting color.

Upholstered folding chair

An upholstered folding chair is usually made from metal, but the seat and back have been upholstered with fabric and a cushion. This makes the chair a bit more comfortable than the traditional folding chair and is a good option for conferences and seminars.

Upholstery swatch

If you are purchasing chairs that are upholstered, make sure to view upholstery swatches. This is a collection of fabric samples, which shows you the choices that you have. If possible, it's best to look at a physical fabric swatch rather than an online one because there are variations in the colors on computer monitors.
