What Is The Budget For Your Restaurant Furniture?

What Is The Budget For Your Restaurant Furniture? You probably got a somewhat unsatisfactory answer like “it depends on what you get”. While this is certainly true - restaurant furniture can range from a few thousand dollars up to serious five figure digits - we figured that we could at least layout some common scenarios to give you an approximation of the cost to furnish your restaurant.

To keep it simple, all of these scenarios are based on a dining space of 1500 square feet with 20 restaurant tables, 8 restaurant booths, 60 restaurant chairs, and 10 bar stools.  There are 3 scenarios: a budget friendly option for a restaurant owner that wants the most economical furniture to get started, a mid-level option for a restaurant owner that wants great looking furniture at a great price, and an option for a restaurant owner that wants to create an ambiance around their furniture without breaking the bank.

Scenario 1 - Economy Restaurant Furniture Cost

1. 20 - Resin 31.5” x 31.5” Table Tops = $600
2. 60 - Gladiator Metal Ladder Back Chairs with Vinyl Seat = $1500
3. 10 - Gladiator Metal Ladder Back Barstools with Vinyl Seat = $500
4. 8 - Standard Vinyl Upholstered Booths = $1500
5. Furniture Cost = $4100.00

Scenario 2 - Mid-Level Restaurant Furniture Cost

1. 20 - Plywood with Laminate Veneer Tables = $2920
2. 60 - Viktor Steel TOLIX style restaurant chairs = $3780
3. 10 - Viktor Steel TOLIX style barstools - $710
4. 8 - Vinyl Upholstered Restaurant Booths - $1640
5. Furniture Cost = $9050.00

Scenario 3 - Solid Ashtree Wood Restaurant Furniture Cost

1. 20 - Solid Ashtree Wood Tables = $4760
2. 60 - Solid Ashtree Wood Café Chairs with leather upholstered = $6480
3. 10 - Solid Ashtree Wood Café Barstools with leather upholstered = $1180
4. 8 - Custom Plywood Restaurant Booths = $3300
5. Furniture Cost = $15720.00

All of these scenarios are based on just a few of the furniture options that are commonly available at China Chair & Barstool, where we sell direct to restaurants and keep costs low by cutting out the middle man.  True, you could go to a dealer manufacturer and buy furniture that cost 3-5x more, but the only difference would be the price tag.
