As a restaurant furniture manufacturer, we want to help you
understand the variety of options available to you. When placing
an order online for restaurant chairs or barstools, you are
seldom able to see and feel the finished product. Many other
companies can be deceiving in their choice of words.
When you see "wood seats" you should ask yourself: Is this
solid wood or plywood? A plywood seat is constructed of thin
layers of wood to make a seat that looks “solid”. How can this
be durable?
The solid wood seats on the other hand are comprised solely
of solid wood.
Below, you'll find the differences between the two types of
seats. You can rest assured that the solid wood seats are much
superior than the plywood seats:
- Solid wood seats inherit the true beauty of the wood with
the grain; the plywood seats will have a flat look.
- Solid wood seats are thicker then plywood.
- Plywood seats tend to crack over time, this will not happen
with solid wood seats. They will serve you longer and your odds
of changing seats every year decreases majorly.
The most important things to remember are durability and
looks - Those parameters are the exact reason why a Solid Wood
Seat is much superior than plywood. Check your vendor before
purchasing and ask the right questions. If you need further
assistance, our sales professionals will be able to help you.

Our solid wood seats not only
look better but have many advantages over the competition’s
plywood seats.
Our seats are thicker and
made of natural solid wood rather than 5-8 thin sheets of
plywood glued together in layers.
Solid wood allows wood stain
to penetrate deep inside to reduce the appearance of scratches
and dents. The glue used in plywood prohibits stain to absorb
past the first layer. As a result, plywood seats are more prone
to show scratches and dents.
