Event chairs come in many styles, and different customers like the various styles for their particular events. There are five different types of chairs that can help event planners and venues have the best possible inventory to attract all types of clients, and therefore business.

Traditional Banqueting Chairs

The traditional banqueting chair is one that does not fold, but it lines up neatly in rows. This chair has an aluminium or steel frame and padded seat and back. These chairs often come in a variety of colours to help match the event theme or style. These sit neatly next to each other and give guests plenty of personal space, but are not so overwhelmingly large that it becomes difficult to provide a lot of seating. Furthermore, traditional banqueting chairs are easy to store and to transport, especially with a dolley and cover slip.

Lastly, banqueting chairs are comfortable, which makes them a great chair option for a variety of event types. From conferences to wedding receptions, banqueting chairs are durable and reliable.

Folding Plastic Chairs

The  folding plastic chair is a straightforward seating option that also works well for many different types of events. It is simple and made all of one type of material: plastic. This makes it one of the most affordable chair options, which is great for guests on a budget. Folding plastic chairs don’t have to be boring; they come in a variety of colours that can match the decor and style of each event. Folding plastic chairs are easy to store and to transport because they do not have bulky materials or a hefty frame.

Folding Wooden Chairs

The  folding wooden chair is a nicer chair in style and strength than the folding plastic chair. It has a natural stain, which lends itself nicely to any type of event. The wooden chair looks particularly nice at outdoor venues since the wood is a natural element. It can be a featured piece of the decor, instead of an afterthought. The folding wooden chair is also easy to store and to transport, but it is heavier than the plastic chair. The positive side of a heavier chair is it is stronger and more durable, which means it will typically last longer than its plastic counterpart.

Folding Padded Chair

The  folding padded chair is made out of wood, but it has a padded seat. This chair has all of the same great benefits as the folding wood chair, with the added level of comfort. The extra layer of padding makes guests feel more comfortable, which is ideal for long events. The folding padded chairs come in white or black. These two neutral colours match any colour scheme and work for nearly any event.

Chiavari Chair

Lastly, the Chiavari Chair is a favourite of guests. These have a beautiful design and are comfortable. The Chiavari Chair can come with or without a seat pad, which makes this style of chair unique. The Chiavari style is more detailed than the plastic, wooden, or banqueting counterparts. It is recommended for fancier events, but anyone would feel comfortable during their time spent in the Chiavari Chair.
