Types of reception area seating

Guest chairs

Often referred to as side chairs, guest chairs belong to a broad category of standard-sized seating options in Australia. They are lightweight, simple in design and available with or without arms. Guest chairs are mainly designed to bear up to 120 kg of weight.

Bariatric chairs

An upgraded version of guest chairs, bariatric chairs have a significant weight carrying capacity, ranging from 120 to over 300 kg.

Club chairs

This is an upholstered version of guest chairs that offers additional comfort with thickly padded and plush seats. It’s an excellent solution for lounge areas and reception rooms in Australia with long waiting times.  

Tandem seating

This category comprises sets of two or more guest chairs joined together, sharing legs and sometimes arms. Tandem seating chairs can be padded or plain.

Beam seating

The difference between beam and tandem seating lies in the way the chairs are connected. As the name says, the beam seating features a single beam that runs along the seat line.

Loveseats

A hybrid of tandem seating and a sofa, loveseats can comfortably accommodate two persons.

Benches

A low profile and space-savvy option, benches can come with or without arms and back support. Depending on the size, they can host several people at once.

The advantages of high-quality reception area seating

Office furniture communicates the story of brand identity. That especially applies to the reception furniture, which is often what creates the first impression on visitors. Choosing high-quality reception chairs that are stylish and comfortable is a must. High quality reception area seating is designed to be comfortable and supportive, perfect for long hours at work or for guests that need to wait for a long time. They are made from a higher standard of materials meaning they will be robust and reliable, retaining their original look for longer. At the premium end, you’ll also find a greater variety of stylised options, meaning you can find something that will enhance the look of your waiting area too.

How to choose reception area seating that’s right for you

When choosing reception furniture, consider the available space, along with all functions the waiting area needs to offer. Apart from budget and style, essential factors are the desired layout, furniture durability and plans for future growth. If your reception area is frequently visited by young children or pets, you may want to choose seating that’s easy to clean and wipe down, like wooden or plastic beam seating. If you want to provide your customers with a luxury experience from the reception area, club chairs or other types with cushioning can provide extra comfort and support.
