Canteen & Dining Chairs
Hard-wearing, wipe-clean canteen chairs for the lunch rush - built to survive gravy, stacking and staff.
Canteen chairs live harder lives than boardroom chairs and are built accordingly: wipe-clean surfaces, tough polypropylene or upholstered shells, and frames that tolerate being stacked, dragged and occasionally leant back on by people who know better.
Most designs stack for cleaning time, and colours run from sensible to genuinely cheerful, which does more for a staff canteen than management generally expects. Practical, hygienic, and priced for buying thirty at a time.
Frequently asked questions
Will they survive a canteen?
That is what they are built for. The polypropylene shells wipe clean and do not mind being knocked about; the upholstered ones use contract fabric rather than domestic. Spills, crumbs and being dragged across a hard floor are the everyday case rather than the exception.
Do they stack?
Some of them do, and it is worth checking on the individual page. A canteen that doubles as a meeting space or an all-hands room needs chairs that can go against a wall in a few minutes.
Can somebody sit in one all afternoon?
These are rated at four to six hours, which covers a long lunch and a training session but not a working day. If people will be at these tables with laptops for hours, look at meeting or task seating instead.
Can I match them to the tables?
Yes. Our café, bistro and breakout tables share finishes and frame colours with these chairs, so a canteen can be ordered as one thing rather than assembled from two catalogues.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Nothing here is made to order, so the lead times are the standard ones.
Do you offer installation?
Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £17.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.
Does it come assembled?
Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.
What warranty does it come with?
Each product carries the manufacturer's warranty and the period is stated on that product's page, often broken down by part: the structure for one length of time, the mechanism and the fabric for another. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.
Can I see it in 3D?
Every one of the 7 products in this category has a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.
Can you quote for a whole office?
Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
