Last updated: 28 October 2026
What is the minimum order for contract furniture?
Most chairs and bar stools start at 20–50 pieces per design, tables at around 10–20 per size, and booth seating is made per project. Colours and fabrics can often be mixed within one order; your quotation confirms the exact minimum.
How long does a restaurant furniture order take?
Allow roughly 7–15 working days for a pre-production sample, 30–45 days of production after sample approval, then around 30–40 days of sea freight to a UK port. Small urgent items can travel by air at extra cost.
Can upholstery meet UK fire regulations?
Yes. Tell us the standard your venue needs, for example BS 5852 Crib 5 or BS EN 1021-1/2, and we confirm a compliant foam, interliner and fabric build in writing with your quotation.
Do you supply samples before production?
Yes. We make a pre-production sample in your chosen finish or fabric so you can check comfort, colour and build. Sample costs and delivery are quoted per model.
Do you sell to the public?
We work with hospitality operators, interior designers, fit-out contractors and furniture resellers. Orders are quoted per project in trade quantities.
What is the difference between a booth and a banquette?
A booth has seating on both sides of a table with high backs, while a banquette is a long upholstered bench along a wall used with loose tables and chairs.
What seat height do bar stools need?
Use a seat height of about 75 cm for a 105 cm bar and about 65 cm for a 90–92 cm counter, leaving 25–30 cm between seat and counter top.
Can you make furniture in our brand colours?
Yes. Metal frames are powder-coated to any RAL colour, timber can be stained to a sample and upholstery can be your own fabric.
Do you offer installation?
We supply furniture ready to install. Booths and wall-mounted pieces are usually fitted by your fit-out contractor; we provide drawings and fixing details.
Is outdoor furniture left outside all year?
Aluminium, synthetic rattan and teak furniture is made for outdoor use, but stacking or covering it in winter extends its life.
How do I request a quote?
Use the quote form with your quantities, finishes and delivery postcode, and attach drawings if you have them.
