Cafe booths

A booth turns a wall into seating. 17 cafe booths are here, priced from $198 to $979, 14 of them with upholstery options. Booths are exempt from the minimum order of 8 pieces, so a single one is enough to start.

What sets a booth apart

A booth is bought as a unit, and two of the 17 listings are sold as sets. On a set, a quantity of one means the whole set as described on the page. Read what is included before you count how many walls you can fill.

All 17 list a standard seat height, and five are plain in style. Others come in channel styles, such as a 6 channel booth. For more of that look, open channel back booths.

Prices range from $198 to $979, and the top of that range is the exception.

Upholstery and the custom line

Fourteen of the 17 list upholstery options. Pick within them and the booth is a standard item. Ask for upholstery outside the list and it becomes a custom item, which takes up to about 8 weeks before transit and cannot be cancelled or returned once confirmed.

Color lists drift. Opening a second shop, or adding to the first one, calls for a new swatch held up against the old booth.

Tables, aisles and freight

A booth needs a table. Four guests can share a 30 by 30 inch top if they like each other. A 36 by 36 is the polite version, and a 30 by 48 rectangle is the third option. Open booth tables when you have the booth chosen. Keep the walkway beside it near 36 inches, so a tray can pass at the lunch rush and a stroller can still turn.

Booths come by freight on pallets. Unloading and carrying inside are yours, and stairs are off the table, since drivers do not carry freight up or down them. Assembly is never included. If your shop has no dock, book a liftgate when you submit the order. Large orders can arrive in more than one load. Check the pallet and carton count on the bill of lading, write down any damage before you sign, and photograph it. The delivery page covers the rest.

More wall seating

More booth styles live under booths. Cafe chairs for the open floor are in coffee shop chairs. Sketch the wall in a cafe plan first, with a 36-inch walkway in front of it.
