Booths seat the walls; chairs and settees fill the floor. In a retro concept the chairs carry as much of the look as the booths: molded plywood on steel legs for a mid-century coffee shop, tufted upholstered armchairs for a supper-club corner, a mustard settee with splayed legs for a lounge nook.
What we look for in a diner chair
- Frame: solid hardwood or steel with welded or glued-and-blocked joints, rated for daily commercial use.
- Seat: commercial vinyl or leather over commercial foam, or a sealed plywood shell.
- Glides: felt or nylon to suit your floor.
- Footprint: small enough to keep aisles clear; armless chairs pack tighter.

Counter and bar stools can be built from drawings on request. Chairs and settees can be upholstered in the same vinyl as your booths for a continuous color story.
Settees suit waiting areas near the door. Chair frames can be finished to match booth plinths and table bases.
