Restaurant booth seating

47 booths line the wall here, from plain-back runs to curves, corners and bar-height seating. Booths skip the 8-piece minimum, so you can order the length your wall holds. Measure that wall first, then choose the shape, and the cover comes last.

Start with the wall

A booth lives against something: a wall, a window, a rail. Measure that run in inches, note the doors and the service path, and keep about 36 inches clear for staff to pass. Everything else follows from the tape reading.

The 8-piece minimum applies to tables and chairs, and booths sit outside it, so a single run is a fair order. Remember that a line is one configuration: two upholstery colors of one booth make two lines. Single booths start around $198 and run to $979.

Shapes and what they ask of the room

L-shaped booth seating turns a corner, so measure both legs. Half-circle booth seating curves into the room and takes floor you may have planned for an aisle. Chalk the arc on the floor at full size and walk it with a loaded tray before you order. The three-quarter-circle shape wraps further still and leaves one opening, so mark where servers step in. Standard seat height is listed for 40 booths and bar height for 4, and bar height wants a bar-height surface across from it.

Configurable booth seating is the largest shelf, with 38 listings, and every one of them offers upholstery choices.

Covers, wood and the patio

Upholstery options are listed on 38 of the 47 booths. Stay inside the listed options and the order stays standard. Ask for something outside them and it becomes custom: up to about 8 weeks, a 40% deposit, and once it is confirmed it cannot be cancelled or returned. The upholstered booths page is the place to compare covers, and the wood booths page gathers the wood ones. Ask for a free finish sample before you set a whole wall.

Freight is quoted for each delivery address. Booths travel palletized by LTL freight, and a liftgate or inside delivery is booked when you submit the order, since drivers do not carry freight up stairs.

Only the two patio booths are set apart for outdoor use. The rest of the booths here carry no patio listing, so keep them inside.

What goes in front of them

A booth needs a table. Look at the restaurant tables next and save the pairing to Patio plans.
