The KMC Guide to Buying Used Restaurant Furniture

If your restaurant, bakery, deli, coffee shop, bar or other food service business has dine-in service, you need quality restaurant furniture. You need comfortable places for your guests to sit and enjoy their meals. You also want something that looks great and fits your restaurant’s personality.

Why You Should Consider Buying Used

However, just like all restaurant equipment, furniture can be expensive to purchase new. That’s why you always want to take the time to consider buying used restaurant furniture from Kohn-Megibow Company. When we buy out all the equipment from a restaurant or bar that is closing down or getting ready to upgrade, we typically buy everything. This includes all the furniture that is often still in fantastic condition. As a buyer, you can save a ton of money by buying used restaurant furniture from KMC. You can buy directly from our warehouse at discount prices or you can purchase at one of our bi-weekly used restaurant equipment auctions, which can save you even more money!

Do You Want a Matching Set?

Most restaurant and foodservice business owners are looking for a full set of matching furniture. Again, KMC is doing a lot of the hard work by buying out what furniture sets that other restaurants have already assembled, so buying used from us will definitely save some time, as well. Other people like a more mismatched style. It’s a very popular trend these days to have a little more fun and quirky look with a variety of tables, chairs, booths and stools. In this case, buying used is the ideal option because you can find a good variety and get really good deals on smaller sets and mismatched items.

Here are some of the pieces of used restaurant furniture you’ll need to consider:

Restaurant Chairs – Restaurant chairs can come in so many different styles and materials. Do you want wood or metal frames? Do you want open backs or closed? Cushions or no cushions? The options are limitless!

Bar Stools – If you have bar service, you’ll need nice stools. You can decide if you want stools with or without backrests, and again they come in all sorts of styles and materials.

Tables – You will want sturdy, durable tables that are at a size (or multiple sizes) that fits your dine-in space.  Different frames and top material options should also be taken into consideration when selecting the ideal tables for your restaurant.

Booths – If you want some booths in your restaurant for a more intimate feel, you can find many different booth styles and configurations at Kohn-Megibow!

Outdoor Dining – Another thing to keep in mind is if you have an outdoor dining area. You’ll want to purchase outdoor chairs and tables that fit your space and will stand up to both mother nature and the quantity of outdoor diners you serve every day.
