Built to Last: The Enduring Benefits of Metal Chairs in Restaurants
Written by: Marcelo Flores
Metal restaurant chairs have been used for decades as they’re a very resistant and durable choice. They are super resistant, durable, affordable, long-lasting and beautiful, and they’re gaining popularity for commercial use. Restaurant metal chairs are basically made from steel or aluminum. Let’s dive into why they are a fantastic choice for durability.

1. Metal is an Extremely Resistant Material for Chairs
Metal restaurant chairs are extremely resistant and durable. They can be made from two types of metal, steel or aluminum. Steel is meant for indoor use and aluminum for outdoor use. Both of them are very resistant and hard materials and will last for a very long time.
We all know that steel and aluminum are great materials, but if the chair is well constructed, it can last a lifetime. Much more than you expect.
2. Metal Restaurant Chairs are Practically Maintenance-Free
As metal chairs don’t have screws, their maintenance is greatly reduced. They’re completely welded, meaning they won’t lose their strength over time and won’t need regular upkeep. And this is something great for your business because maintenance is a silent killer of your profits. Chairs that need constant maintenance will make you spend time and money.
Also, as they are usually painted with powder coating, they are also resistant to impacts and won’t chip as other materials might.
3. They are Manufactured With Powder Coating Paint
Seat Co chairs undergo a pretreatment before painting to ensure better paint adherence and durability. This pretreatment is unique to Seat Co and ensures quality, which is why we offer a 7-year warranty.
After that pretreatment, we paint our chairs with UV treated powder coating paint. Powder coating improves metal durability by shielding it from the elements and adding more strength. In addition to that, the paint we use is also UV treated, so it’s resistant to sunlight abrasion.
It also protects steel chairs from rusting. Although aluminum is perfect for outdoor use, steel requires this pretreatment and precautions to resist the elements effectively.
Powder coating offers different benefits:
- Superior durability
- Uniformity
- Smooth finish
- Sustainability
4. They Maintain Their Beauty for Many Years
Metal chairs are very durable, so you won’t have to worry about investing in chairs again any time soon. But what is not always taken into account is that metal chairs will maintain their beauty for many years to come. They will not fade or look worn so even after several years, they will look as good as the first day.
This is very important, especially for those restaurants that want to project an image of commitment to quality and elegance.
These were some of the durability benefits of metal restaurant chairs, but there are way more benefits they offer. From customization to the smooth finish they offer, lightweight designs, affordability, and more, they are a great choice for every restaurant.
