Restaurant Furniture

New England Seating is a restaurant furniture manufacturer in New Haven, CT. Since 1947 we have built custom booths, banquettes and table tops by hand, and we supply matching commercial chairs and table bases to complete the dining room. Every piece is made to your specs, approved from a shop drawing and finish sample, then delivered on our own trucks and installed.

From a single independent restaurant to a multi-location chain, you work directly with the manufacturer, not a catalog reseller.

Restaurant furniture FAQ

How much does restaurant furniture cost?

It depends on the pieces, sizes, materials and quantity. Because our booths and tables are built to order, we quote each project individually. Contact us with your layout for a quote.

How long does it take to furnish a restaurant?

Production typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project, and installation usually takes a day. We give you a specific timeline with your quote.

What is the difference between commercial and residential furniture?

Commercial, or contract-grade, restaurant furniture is built with commercial-grade materials and construction to handle heavy daily use in public spaces. Residential furniture is not designed for that level of wear.

Can you match tables and chairs to my booths?

Yes. We make table tops to your dimensions and finishes and help you choose chairs and bases that complement your booths, so the whole dining room works together.

Do you deliver and install?

Yes. We deliver on our own trucks from New Haven, CT and our team can usually complete an entire installation within a day.
