Replacement CT
New seats for the chairs you already have. The restaurant seating replacement CT dining rooms really need is usually a pad on a pan held by four bolts, not a whole new set of furniture.

A new seat is not a new chair
A booth is a plywood box fixed to the wall, and a banquet chair is a welded steel frame. Either one will see off three or four sets of seats. On most commercial seating, the part that is actually worn out is a pad sitting on a pan, fastened with four bolts and quick to change. So when a supplier prices new chairs, most of that figure pays for a frame you already own that still has years left in it. Ask for a price for each replaceable unit instead.



Decks, pads, pans and backs
Restaurant seating replacement CT jobs seldom involve the same unit twice. A booth has a deck, a banquet chair has a pad, an office chair has a molded pan. Each is priced on its own terms and each comes off in its own way.




Off, to the workshop, and back
The case for counting units instead of chairs is about logistics. With a spare set, a disruptive refurbishment becomes a steady rotation your guests never notice.
What travels
The worn padsThey come off the frame and go to the workshop in a batch.
Rebuilt at the benchDone in the workshop, where the work is clean and controlled.

Webbing and springsRenewed only in the spots where they have failed.
Bases and legsChosen for your room once; there is no reason to pay for them again.
Count units, not chairs
Name the unit
A deck, a pad or a pan. The quote should be built on that.
Plan the rotation
A spare set, or batches small enough that the dining room stays open.
Rebuild in the workshop
New foam at a stated density, under the cover you chose.
Check the seated height
Each rebuilt unit is sat on and measured, because height matters.
Restaurant Seating Replacement CT FAQ
Questions operators ask before they replace seats.
Do we need to buy new chairs?
Usually not. Restaurant seating replacement CT work tends to be a pad or a deck on a frame with plenty of life left, and the frame is most of the price of a new chair.
Can we stay open while it happens?
Yes, by rotating. A spare set goes on, the worn set goes to the workshop to be rebuilt, and it returns as the next batch of spares.
How many seats can go at once?
As many as you can do without. That is the only real limit, and you set it, not us.
Our chairs have welded steel frames. Does that help?
It helps a great deal. Welded frames outlive several sets of pads, which is exactly why swapping units beats buying chairs.
Will the new seats match the old ones?
Only when the whole run comes from a single batch. Replace half a run and you end up with two colors and two heights, the mistake we see most often.
Flip one chair over
Take a photo of the underside of a single seat. Four bolts and a pan means you are buying units, not furniture.
