FAQ - Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between bistro chairs and normal dining chairs?

Bistro chairs are usually lighter, narrower and have a particularly space-saving design. They were originally developed for use in cafés and bistros, where quick rearrangement, stackability and durability are required.

Are vintage bistro chairs stable enough for café use?

Yes, our Vintage Bistro Chairs are carefully checked, glued and - if necessary - fitted with new screws or seats before being sold. Many models originally come from the catering trade and are therefore designed for intensive use. We ensure maximum stability and functionality for all restored chairs.

Can I have bistro chairs individually coloured?

On request we offer Customised paint finishes or stains for wooden bistro chairs. We can also reupholster leather, velvet or rattan seats in various colours and materials.
