Restaurant Chairs FAQ

What's the typical lead time for custom restaurant chairs?

Without sampling: 5-7 weeks from order confirmation to ex-factory
With pre-production sample: 2-3 weeks for sample + 5-7 weeks for production = 7-10 weeks total
Rush orders: 3-4 week production available for urgent projects (surcharge applies, limited to certain designs)

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ varies by chair complexity and material:

For multi-location rollouts or repeat orders, we can accommodate lower quantities per shipment while maintaining overall volume commitments.

Can you match chairs to a specific design or competitor's product?

Yes. Send us clear photos from multiple angles, dimensions (or a physical sample if possible), and material specifications. Our team will reverse-engineer the design and provide a matching quotation. We can replicate:

Note: We cannot replicate patented designs or designs where the original manufacturer holds exclusive rights.

How are restaurant chairs packed for international shipping?

Professional export packing protects chairs during ocean freight:

Example: A standard wood dining chair (17" x 18" x 35") packed 6 per carton yields approximately 1,200-1,500 chairs per 40' HC container.

Do restaurant chairs require assembly?

Most restaurant chairs ship fully assembled and ready to use upon unpacking. This applies to:

Some chair types may require minimal assembly to save shipping space:

Assembly requirements are always specified in the quotation.

What's the expected lifespan of commercial restaurant chairs?

Lifespan depends on traffic level, maintenance, and construction quality:

EASEN's commercial-grade construction extends lifespan by 30-50% compared to residential-grade chairs used in commercial settings. Wood chairs tend to last longer than upholstered chairs (upholstery typically needs replacement or reupholstering after 5-7 years in high-traffic restaurants).

Can chairs be repaired if damaged?

Yes. Most damage is repairable:

For warranty claims (manufacturing defects within 2 years), we provide replacement parts or chairs free of charge.

Do you offer flame-retardant options for upholstered chairs?

Yes. All upholstered chairs can be manufactured with:

Specify your jurisdiction's requirements (California, UK, EU, etc.) and we'll ensure compliance. FR certification documentation provided upon request.

Can I order replacement chairs years later to match my existing set?

Yes, with some considerations:

Tip: If you anticipate needing replacements, we recommend ordering 10-15% extra chairs upfront to keep as spares. This guarantees perfect color/finish matching.

What warranty do you provide?

EASEN provides a 2-year commercial warranty covering:

Warranty does not cover:

Warranty claims: We provide replacement chairs or parts shipped free of charge. For large claims, we may arrange inspection via third-party QC company.
