Commercial Bar Furniture for All Styles

All bars are unique. As a leading bar stool manufacturer, we offer a variety of products to appeal to all tastes. From modern bar furniture to themed restaurants to classic local pubs, Richardson Seating makes the products you want.

A Bar Stools Manufacturer You Can Trust

We pride ourselves on being a bar stools manufacturer that you can trust. We have over 45 years of experience making heavy-duty bar stools. We are A+ rated with the U.S. Better Business Bureau and we have over 100 five-star ratings on Google.

Crafting high-quality bar stools is all our pride. We offer a vast selection of bar furniture that is commercial in both design and strength. From swivel bar stools to stationary ones, with or without backs, and in a range of colours and textures, every bar can find seating that meets its unique needs.

The details on our furniture make our style of bar stool manufacturing stand out. We are experts at tufting and applying nail-head trim. We can also add a logo to most of our products. Logo bar stools are the ideal point-of-purchase advertisement for manufacturers and distributors. You can find our logo bar stools at parts counters and sales counters all across the world. When you want to convey quality, our commercial bar seating is the perfect way to achieve that goal.

Commercial Restaurant Furniture in Your Preferred Style

As a manufacturer of commercial restaurant furniture, Richardson Seating offers chairs, bar stools and tables in a range of styles and colours. While our chrome furniture is bold, our upholstered furniture adds a high level of detail to your space. Diners will be very excited about the chrome furnishings, while restaurants looking to maintain organisation will appreciate our bolt-down chairs, and casual restaurants, lounges, or clubs will love our signature chairs.

Bar and Restaurant Furniture Supply

Richardson Seating is proud to be among the best restaurant and bar furniture suppliers, offering a selection of seating options and tables that appeal to a wide range of establishments. From retro diners to high-end cafes to lounges and bars to modern restaurants, we have furniture for all establishments. As your restaurant supplier and furniture manufacturer, we can upholster or stain our furniture in numerous ways, as well as make other adjustments, from the chair backings to table heights. This allows you to get exactly what you want – something few bar furniture suppliers can offer. Our bar furniture supply is all made from high-quality materials that you can count on, with most of the pieces made in the United States. We have built our reputation for half a century at Richardson Seating. All of that experience allows us to manufacture long-lasting furniture for your restaurant or bar.

Not just for the Restaurant and Bar Industry

Although we are mainly a modern restaurant furniture provider, we also supply to those in the hospitality industry. Our products are also a perfect fit for hotel restaurants, bars or lobbies. Any business that can find a use for our restaurant furniture supply is welcome to browse our products.

Complete Sets or Individual Pieces

As a restaurant furniture supplier, we have both tables and seating options, letting you create a complete set for your clients to enjoy. Some of our products are sold as sets, such as the logo tables and chairs. Others are not explicitly sold together but complement each other perfectly. This eliminates the need to shop around or find pieces from multiple suppliers that happen to work together.

Remember, if you already have tables, chairs, or bar stools for which you want additional items to complement, we manufacture everything ourselves. As such, we can work with you to fit your needs and create something that matches your current décor, no matter what kind of existing furniture you have or where you bought it.
