Furniture for a Growing Society

It is an undisputed fact that as a whole, the American society is heavier than ever. The obesity epidemic is so profound, it is affecting the way businesses are run. From low-fat menu options to wider doorways, businesses are adapting to the needs of a heavier clientele. Restaurants are no exception to this trend and are finding ways to comfortably accommodate larger guests.

It is imperative that your restaurant furniture be sturdy and built to last. Purchase your furniture from an authorized furniture supplier as they will likely offer warranties on their products. From ripped seats to missing casters, a local commercial furniture company will be able to help with basic maintenance. All chairs should meet some kind of weight requirement, especially if they are to be used in a public setting. The last thing you want is a lawsuit claiming that your restaurant is at fault for having unsafe seating.

There are some things that you can do on a regular basis that will keep your chairs from collapsing. Every night, or after you close for the day, wipe down your tables and chairs. Not only will this keep them clean, it is also a good opportunity to notice any weak spots. Check for loose or missing screws on the legs, seat and back. Make sure that chairs and tables do not wobble. If they are missing casters or feet, contact a local commercial furniture supplier to replace the missing parts. By keeping your furniture in good condition, it will be safe for America's growing society.
