Restaurant chairs & bar stools
Wood, steel and upholstered contract seating made to your drawings in our own Foshan factory and shipped direct. Joinery, frames and fabrics, spelled out in numbers.
Chair Foundry (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) makes commercial restaurant chairs and bar stools (solid wood, steel, upholstered and stackable) in its own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China. Orders from 40 to several hundred chairs are made to order for US restaurants, hotels and dealers, with shop drawings for approval, an optional pre-production sample, and export packing direct to your door or port.

A restaurant chair fails at the joints first, not the seat. Our wood frames use mortise-and-tenon or dowelled joints, glued and screwed corner blocks under the seat, and stretchers where the design allows. We put the joint details on the shop drawing so your team can see what is holding the chair together before a single one is cut.
Seats in a busy dining room take hundreds of sit-downs a week. We specify contract-grade fabrics and vinyls by abrasion rating, use high-resilience foam with fire-retardant treatment to the destination market's rules on request, and staple over a plywood seat pan that unscrews from below, so a torn seat is a 10-minute swap rather than a new chair.
Side chairs, armchairs, stacking banquet chairs and bar stools come off the same production floor, so finishes and fabrics match across the room. Mix models in one container, approve one sample per family, and receive one set of drawings. It is the simplest way to furnish a 60-seat bistro or a 300-seat hall without chasing three suppliers.
A low hoop-back chair in natural ash with turned spindles and a padded vinyl seat: the all-day cafe chair that reads warm without feeling fussy.
A tall bow-back Windsor in dark walnut stain with a sculpted wood seat and turned legs, made for taverns, pubs and heritage dining rooms.
A square-framed ash side chair with a woven cord back panel and a padded seat, shown here with a red vinyl seat that cleans in seconds.
A steam-bent crest-rail armchair with a Y-shaped back splat and a hand-woven paper-cord seat in natural ash or oak.
A modern solid-oak side chair with a single angled slab back and a padded seat: square, sturdy and quietly architectural.
A classic bentwood bistro chair with a looped back, round wood seat and reinforcing leg ring, light enough to move with one hand.
A bentwood chair with an oval cane back and a padded round seat, the warmer, softer sibling of the classic bistro chair.
A smoked-oak side chair with a framed natural cane back and a removable bouclé seat cushion with a contrast welt, drawn to fixed contract dimensions.
Send your seat count, table sizes, style references and any fire-code requirements. We recommend chair models, seat heights and quantities, including spares, and flag clearance issues we see on the plan.
You receive dimensioned drawings for each chair and stool: overall size, seat and arm heights, joinery, frame material, foam build-up and finish. Nothing is cut until you sign them off.
On request we build one pre-production chair per model in your finish and fabric, or ship cuttings and finish chips first. Customer-owned material (COM/COL) is checked for yardage and suitability.
Frames are machined, assembled and finished in our Lecong production base, then upholstered. Before packing we check dimensions, joint tightness, finish and glides against the approved drawing and send you photos.
Chairs are cartoned, stacked or knocked down to suit the container, and shipped FOB, CIF or DDP. You get a packing list by model so unloading and placement on site go quickly.
What double rubs, Martindale cycles, cleaning codes and CAL TB 117-2013 mean for restaurant chair fabric and vinyl, and the numbers to ask for before you order.
How many chairs fit each restaurant table size, how many square feet each seat needs by service style, aisle spacing, and how to calculate your chair order.
Standard restaurant chair dimensions in inches and cm: seat height, width, depth, arm clearance, and the right bar and counter stool heights for each surface.
Chair Foundry is a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture. Every chair and stool is made to order in our own production base in Lecong, Foshan, China, one of the largest furniture manufacturing and trading centers in the world, and shipped direct to you. There is no US warehouse and no middle distributor; you deal with the people who draw and build the chairs.
Most restaurant dining chairs have a seat height of about 18 in (46 cm), within a typical range of 17-19 in (43-48 cm), to suit a table at 28-30 in (71-76 cm). The rule of thumb is 10-12 in (25-30 cm) between the top of the seat and the top of the table. We confirm the seat height on every shop drawing against your actual table.
Counter stools have a seat height of about 24-26 in (61-66 cm) and serve surfaces around 36 in (91 cm) high. Bar stools have a seat height of about 28-30 in (71-76 cm) for bars at 40-42 in (102-107 cm). Measure your surface before ordering; we make every stool model in both heights and can build to a custom height.
We typically supply orders from about 40 chairs up to several hundred per project, and we can mix chair and stool models in one shipment. Minimums are low for contract orders and are confirmed per design, because a chair in a stock frame with your fabric has different setup requirements than a fully custom design.
Typically 30-45 days for standard designs and 45-60 days for custom work, counted from approval of shop drawings and any pre-production sample, plus sea transit. The exact schedule is confirmed in each quote, and we send production photos before packing so you are not waiting blind.
Yes. We accept customer's own material (COM) and leather (COL). Send the fabric specification and we will confirm yardage per chair and whether the cloth is suitable for restaurant use. We look at abrasion rating, backing and stretch. If it is marginal, we will say so before you ship it, not after it fails.
