I. The Origin of Banquet Chairs In China, the term "banquet furniture" has a history of approximately 20 years.
It originates from the English word "banquet furniture," which includes banquet chairs, banquet tables, and other furniture and equipment necessary for banquets, such as preparation tables and food carts. Banquet chairs initially appeared in hotels and were widely used in hotel banquet halls due to the requirements of hotel use, emphasizing the following characteristics: lightweight, comfortable, durable, easy to move quickly, easy to store, and easy to maintain. Therefore, they are generally made of metal or a combination of metal and wood.
This type of furniture was first introduced to China by the American company SICO. Banquet chair classifications:
1. By material
Banquet steel chairs, banquet aluminum chairs, stainless steel banquet chairs;
2. By style
Banquet armchairs, banquet armless chairs, bar stools;
3. By craftsmanship
Rocking chairs, imitation wood chairs, standard chairs;
4. By style
Chinese restaurant chairs, Western restaurant chairs, European-style banquet chairs.
Banquet chair materials: 20*20*1.2mm square steel tubing for banquet steel chairs, 25*25*2.0mm square aluminum tubing for banquet aluminum chairs, and 304 stainless steel banquet chairs.
Banquet chairs are available with and without armrests. Generally, chairs with armrests are larger. Banquet chairs are frequently used for indoor and outdoor meetings.
Banquet chairs are mainly used in hotel lobbies and banquet halls. The designs are primarily simple. Xuanzhu Furniture banquet chairs are suitable for five-star hotel banquet halls, Chinese and Western restaurants, and other high-end catering venues. They are also used in hotel multi-functional halls as meeting chairs and training chairs.
II. How to identify a high-quality banquet chair?
1. Main frame material (aluminum)
High-quality banquet chairs use high-purity 6063 aluminum alloy profiles (aviation aluminum), with a hardness of 12WB, offering high hardness, toughness, and fatigue resistance.
Low-priced banquet chairs use recycled 6063 aluminum alloy profiles, with a hardness of 8WB, resulting in low hardness, poor toughness, and easy deformation.
2. Pre-treatment Process
High-quality banquet chairs undergo 12 different chemical cleaning processes to thoroughly remove oil stains from the pipe surface and ensure sufficient passivation coating. This effectively guarantees the quality of the paint spraying and ensures the stability and durability of the paint during long-term use.
Low-priced banquet chairs simplify the pre-treatment process to save costs. Insufficient surface treatment of the pipes, incomplete removal of oil stains, and incomplete passivation sealing significantly impact the quality of the paint spraying, reducing paint adhesion and easily causing discoloration, blistering, and peeling during subsequent use.
3. Chair Frame Paint Finish Process
High-quality banquet chairs undergo two spraying processes, with at least three coats each time, followed by automatic baking on a high-temperature baking line. The baking time and temperature are strictly controlled, effectively ensuring baking quality and paint adhesion. The paint film surface is full, smooth, and evenly colored.
Low-priced banquet chairs only undergo one spraying process, with manual baking. The time and temperature control are not guaranteed, resulting in an unstable baking process and insufficient paint adhesion.
4. Paint Film Surface
High-quality banquet chairs have dry, rough surfaces with uneven color and defects such as particles, exposed substrate, missed areas, and runs.
5. Welding Details
High-quality banquet chairs use full, long welds at all support joints, resulting in high frame strength.
Low-priced banquet chairs often have spot welds at many support joints, leading to low frame strength.
6. Seat and Backrest Panels
High-quality banquet chairs use first-grade plywood with quality grade and environmental labels. The core is dense, the surface is smooth and flat, and it is not easily deformed or damaged. Environmental standards for harmful substances meet E1 level limits.
Low-priced banquet chairs use cheap, inferior plywood or pressed boards. The surface is rough, riddled with wormholes and knots, the core is bubbly, delaminated, and gapped, making it prone to deformation or cracking. They lack environmental and quality grade labels, and the limits for harmful substances do not meet environmental requirements.
7. Seat Cushion Density
High-quality banquet chairs use high-density molded foam with a density of 75 degrees and a single sponge weighing 500 grams. Low-priced banquet chairs use integrated or low-cost, inferior recycled material molded foam with a density of only 30-40 degrees, and each foam weighs only 400-450 grams.
Seat Cushion Foam Strength: High-quality banquet chair foam has excellent resilience, toughness, tear resistance, compression set, and anti-aging properties. The seat cushion is durable and comfortable.
Low-priced banquet chair molded foam has extremely poor resilience, toughness, tear resistance, compression set, and anti-aging properties. It breaks easily when folded with slight force and is easily damaged by hand. After a period of use, it ages and becomes brittle, easily damaged, and does not spring back after being compressed.
8. Other Auxiliary Materials
High-quality banquet chair seat cushions use thick and dense non-woven fabric at the bottom, making them less prone to damage.
Low-priced banquet chair seat cushions use thin and sparse non-woven fabric at the bottom, resembling fibrous paper, which tears easily.
9. Banquet Chair Legs
High-quality banquet chair legs are made of high-quality transparent engineering plastic (ABS), which is high-end, beautiful, wear-resistant, and not prone to aging.
Low-priced banquet chairs use inferior black plastic legs, which are prone to aging and damage.
III. Maintenance and Care of Banquet Chairs
1. Banquet chairs are more susceptible to oil stains than other chairs, so they need to be wiped frequently to prevent oil buildup.
2. For banquet chairs with many folds or patterns, pay extra attention to details when cleaning and maintaining them.
3. Use chair covers to protect the chairs, making cleaning easier and extending their lifespan.
4. Never rock the hotel chairs carelessly or tilt them to support themselves on both legs; improper use will damage the original structure.
