Welded frames for heavy use
Metal frames are welded rather than bolted, so there are no joints to loosen after months of guests tipping back. Every chair is tested to 400 lbs and built to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards. That makes metal a strong choice for high-traffic rooms where chairs are moved, stacked and bumped all day.
Industrial restaurant chairs
For an industrial look, black metal frames pair with warm seat materials. The Quarry Side Chair and Crestwood Side Chair use a walnut or oak HPL (high-pressure laminate) seat and back, which resists scratches and wipes clean fast. The Hartley Side Chair pairs a welded steel frame with a solid ash seat and back, and the Morrow Side Chair uses a solid oak seat and back.
Wood grain metal
Several models, including the Milford Side Chair, use a "wood grain" metal frame in an oak or walnut color. You get the look of a wood chair with the durability of metal; the Milford also stacks up to 5 high.
Indoor and outdoor metal chairs
Most metal chairs here are for indoor use. The Horizon, Seaglass, Coral, Driftwood and Harbor chairs are rated for indoor and outdoor use and stack for storage; find them with the rest of our outdoor chairs. For fully weatherproof lightweight frames, see aluminum frame chairs.
Upholstered options
Many metal frame chairs have an upholstered seat, or seat and back, for longer meals. Browse upholstered chairs to compare them with beechwood designs, or metal frame bar stools for matching bar seating.
Ordering
Most models have a 4-piece minimum per item, and finishes of the same chair can be mixed. Chairs ship fully assembled, and some wood grain finishes are stained to order and ship in 2–3 weeks as shown on the product page.
