This tool organises the questions to confirm with your supplier. It does not calculate a price, a lead time or a compliance outcome.
Seating density is the reason buyers choose benches
A bench seats more people per metre than individual chairs and clears visually, which is why entryways, dining alcoves and hotel waiting areas all specify them. The trade-offs differ by zone: entryway benches carry point loads from shoes and luggage, dining benches change how people move in and out at the table, and lobby benches accumulate more seated hours than any other seating in the building.
Zone requirements
| Zone | Dominant load | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Entryway | Point loads, shoe contact, luggage rests | Seat panel thickness, stretcher joinery, seat height vs door and console proportions |
| Dining | Repeated slide-in/out, knee clearance | 60 cm of table edge per seat; table apron height so knees clear the bench rail; one-piece vs two-panel top |
| Lobby / waiting | Continuous seated hours | Finishing schedule (coats and type); leg-to-seat joinery method; cushion specification if required |
Benchmarks from this site's seating range
The seating range on this site is built in solid Siamese rosewood with mortise-and-tenon joinery and six-coat raw lacquer finishes. The folding stool's carved seat panel and splayed legs (35 × 35 cm) suit entryway and tea-room use; the armchair with the carved ruyi backrest and the lounge chair with the floral backrest cover single-seat positions where a bench would over- or under-seat. Use these construction points as the comparison baseline when evaluating bench quotations.
Questions that belong in the order, not after it
- Static load test basis and what method produced it.
- Whether seat height, depth and the apron clearance work with your table or console.
- Finishing schedule in writing, since lobby pieces are the first surfaces guests touch.
- Packed dimensions for LCL or FCL planning, since benches stack differently from chairs.
Send the zone, the available run length and the expected daily usage in the enquiry form; the review will map the requirement to the seating range and flag the specification points above.
