Buying Wood Restaurant Furniture

Create the right atmosphere with wooden restaurant furniture
By Lorri Mealey, Owner The Boiler Room Restaurant Nothing adds warmth and personality to a dining room like wooden restaurant furniture. You can create an inviting ambience with carefully selected wooden restaurant furniture, which comes in a variety of style and finishes.  Wooden restaurant furniture ranges from traditional wooden chairs, matching wooden tables to sleek wooden restaurant booths. Custom wood restaurant furniture can look old fashion, contemporary, classic or elegant.  

Wooden tables and chairs look good in restaurant dining rooms, function rooms, bars and lounges. Wooden restaurant furniture coordinates with nearly every kind of interior design and decor.  

Wooden restaurant furniture is: 
1. Durable.  
2. Easy to clean.
3. Attractive.   

Consider your restaurant decor

A restaurant that serves hearty home cooking will use a different style of wooden restaurant furniture than a fancy French restaurant that uses table linens and crystal. Your restaurant furniture should blend with the general look of your dining room. Select wooden chairs and tables with finishes that match the woodwork in the restaurant. For example, if your restaurant is located in an older building, such as an old Victorian structure, you can select wooden tables and chairs with Victorian-inspired details.

Select quality wooden tables and chairs

Don't let price be the final factor in your decision to purchase wooden restaurant furniture. You want furniture that will last for years and stand up to heavy commercial use. Examine a sample piece of furniture, look at the furniture joints and seams, and test for wobbliness and other signs of poor craftsmanship.
Try:  Restaurant Furniture Depot is a leading restaurant furniture manufacturer. Seating Expert is another place to look for both plain wood and upholstered wood chairs and matching tables.  

Save money by purchasing used wooden restaurant furniture

One out of every four restaurants goes out of business within two years of opening. This means that their wooden restaurant furniture has not suffered a whole lot of wear and tear. Purchasing gently worn wooden chairs and tables can save you thousands of dollars. Again, examine furniture joints and seams, and test for wobbliness and other signs of poor craftsmanship.
Try:  Restaurant auction houses are one of the best places to pick up gently used restaurant furniture. RestaurantAuction.com offers discounted tables and chairs, and can deliver.

Don't forget the rest of the restaurant

Along with good quality dining room chairs and tables, there are several other pieces of wooden restaurant furniture you need as well. Barstools should make as much as a statement as the dining room chairs. Use wood restaurant furniture in the waiting area and hostess station to make a warm and inviting impression on guests as they arrive.
Try:  Find durable, attractive restaurant stools at AffordableSeating.com, in a variety of styles and upholstery. Old Hickory Furniture, another manufacturer of wood restaurant furniture, offers wooden waiting benches, hostess stations as well as tables and chairs.  

• Add some elegance in the restrooms with an antique wooden dresser or washstand. It will dress up a normally dull place, and provide a place to store cleaning supplies and paper goods.
