Quality Materials and Build

Quality starts with the right materials, and we are here to help with quality every step of the way. Our chair replacement seats come in three main options you can choose from, ensuring that they match your needs and budget.

• Premium Vinyl works perfectly in busy restaurants and bars, as you can wipe up spills in seconds. The material resists cracking even after years of use. Choose from 15 colors, including black, burgundy, and forest green. 

• Upholstered Fabric adds warmth to residential spaces. We offer stain-resistant options that handle daily life. You can pick from over 20 different patterns and textures. Each piece uses high-density foam that stays comfortable even after years of use. 

• Wood Inserts deliver the authentic look of Breuer-style chairs. We use genuine ash wood with a protective coating that stands up to commercial use, and the natural grain adds character.

How to Replace a Seat and Back on a Chair?

It only takes about 15 minutes per chair to install your classic dining chair replacement seats and backs. The process is simple. Just follow the steps below:

• First, flip your chair upside down on a soft surface, such as a rug or carpeted area to avoid damage to the chair. Remove the old seat by unscrewing the mounting bolts underneath. Most chairs use four bolts in a square pattern. Keep these bolts on hand, as you'll need them for installation. 

• Next, position your new seat on the frame of the chair. Line up the pre-drilled holes with your chair's mounting points, then you can thread the bolts by hand to ensure proper alignment. Then, once all the bolts are in place and threaded by hand, you can tighten them with a screwdriver until they’re snug. Be sure not to overtighten, as this can damage the new seat. 

• For chair backs, the process is similar. Remove the old back by locating the mounting brackets. Slide the new back into place and secure it with the provided hardware. Some high-back designs use clips instead of screws. When you receive your chairs, you will also receive detailed instructions that are specific to your chair style.

FAQs

What's the difference between classic and high-back replacement seats?

Classic seats typically measure between 16 and 18 inches wide with minimal back support. High-back replacements measure up to 20 to 24 inches tall, which offers full spine support. Measure your existing chair to make sure you get the fit you need.

Can I order custom sizes for vintage chairs?

Absolutely. Send us your chair's measurements, and we'll create replacements that are the exact fit. Custom orders typically add 7 to 10 business days to standard shipping times.

Which material works best for restaurant use?

Premium vinyl handles the demands of restaurants the best. It’s easy to clean, resists stains, and maintains its appearance even after thousands of uses. We recommend choosing darker colors for the highest durability.

Do you offer fire-retardant options?

Yes, all our commercial-grade materials meet fire safety codes. Request CAL 117 certified options when ordering for public spaces.

How long do replacement seats typically last?

With proper care, vinyl seats last between 5 and 7 years in commercial settings. Fabric options perform 3 to 5 years in commercial settings and more than 10 years in homes. Wood inserts can last for decades.

What tools do I need for installation?

Most installations require only a Phillips head screwdriver. Some high-back models require an adjustable wrench for assembly. We include any specialty hardware needed for your specific chair type.
