Smart Savings on Seating: Your Guide to Buying Used Restaurant Furniture

When setting up or renovating a restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, bar, or any food service business with dine-in options, one of your top priorities is furniture. Your guests need comfortable, inviting places to sit and enjoy their meals, and the style of the furniture should reflect the personality and ambiance of your establishment.

The Advantages of Buying Used

Purchasing new restaurant furniture can significantly inflate your startup or renovation costs. At Kohn-Megibow Company, we recommend considering the benefits of buying used restaurant furniture. Often, when we acquire equipment from a restaurant or bar that’s closing or upgrading, we purchase their entire inventory, including high-quality furniture in excellent condition. By choosing used, you can access premium furniture at a fraction of the original cost, either directly from our warehouse at discounted prices or through our bi-weekly restaurant equipment auctions.

Matching Sets or Mismatched Styles?

Many restaurant owners prefer a cohesive look and opt for matching furniture sets. KMC simplifies this process by sourcing complete sets from other restaurants, saving you the time and effort of piecing together matching items. However, a trend gaining traction is the eclectic, mismatched style. It adds a unique, quirky vibe to your space, and buying used is perfect for this approach, offering a diverse selection of individual pieces that can mix well for a distinctive look.

Essential Considerations for Restaurant Furniture

1. Chairs: The choices are vast, from wooden to metal frames and from minimalist designs without cushions to more plush options.
2. Bar Stools: Essential for any establishment with a bar, stools vary in height, design, and comfort, with options including backrests and adjustable heights.
3. Tables: Durability and size are key when choosing tables. Consider various materials and designs that not only suit your dining space but are also robust enough for regular use.
4. Booths: For a cozier dining experience, booths are an excellent choice. They come in various styles and configurations, allowing you to maximize space and add comfort.
5. Outdoor Dining Furniture: If your venue includes outdoor seating, select furniture that withstands the elements and matches your outdoor decor.
