Lucy Diner Chair

Today’s post is dedicated to the most famous diner chair ever, the Lucy Diner Chair. The Lucy Diner chair is a commercial quality retro kitchen chair that is sold through Target. Target used to sell the Lucy Chair in its retail stores. They must have decided that it would do better online, because they pulled them out of the stores and now sell them exclusively online. The Lucy Diner Chair is Richardson Seating’s model 4240 upholstered in Naugahyde Zodiac Burgundy and Naugahyde Zodiac Silver. The diner chair features a button tufted back and a 2 inch box seat finish. The frame is made of 14 gauge steel. This chair is strong enough for use in restaurants. As a matter of fact, it is a restaurant chair. Richardson Seating is a manufacturer of commercial restaurant chairs. The chairs weighs 23 pounds. It is substantial. You can buy the model 4240 from any of Richardson Seating’s dealers. Check out Bar Stools and Chairs, American Chairs, and Target.

Restaurant Bar Stools

The term restaurant bar stool or restaurant bar stools usually refers to a bar stool or counter stool that is made to be extra durable for commercial restaurant use.  As you know, restaurants are much harder on their bar stools than homeowners are on their bar stools.  Restaurants need bar stools that can be sat on all day for years and years.  There are many ways that manufacturers make bar stools more durable for restaurant use.  Restaurant bar stools typically use better quality components.  They use thicker upholstery vinyl, stronger thread, and heavier gauge steel.  The wood parts of a restaurant bar stool are typically thicker and made of higher quality wood.  Most bar stools you find online and in mass merchandise stores are geared towards home use.  If you are looking for high quality restaurant bar stools that are also attractive enough for your home, look no further than Richardson Seating.  Richardson Seating is a manufacturer of commercial bar stools and restaurant bar stools.  They sell exclusively to dealers.  If you are looking for a few stools for your restaurant or home, you can contact Bar Stools and Chairs.  Restaurant Bar stools by Richardson Seating will last for years.  Check out my Counter Stools Blog.

Embroidery works great on the back of bar stools with backs. You can embroider the back side of the back and it will look great and last for years. If you embroider the inside of the back or the top of the seat, eventually the threads will start to rip.

There are certain types of decals that will bond to anything. These decals are the same type of decals used on off road motor bikes. They are applied with a chemical and fuse with the material. These decals look great and last for years but have very expensive setup charges and very high minimum quantities.

Traditional screen printing is still the most popular way of imprinting a bar stool. Screen printing provides a durable product with low minimums and a low unit cost. Four color process screen printing allows for low res photo realistic images on a bar stool. Four color process printing is very expensive due to the high screen mesh needed to achieve the proper shading.

The last method for today’s entry is digital printing. This method is brand new. The idea is simple, print on the bar stool with a big printer instead of screen printing. This method works great for small quantities. Digital setup charges are typically less expensive than screen printing setup charges. At this time, most bar stool manufacturers are unable to achieve a good digitally printed black.

BarStoolsandChairs.com, experts in manufacturing high quality Custom Logo Bar Stools for restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels, and homes. They offer custom logo bar stools in various designs and materials with 70 different vinyl patterns. You can even choose your own material to upholster your bar stools and chairs.

Most of the logo bar stools you see out in the field were screen printed. You can either print the logo on the top of the material or print it on the underside of the material. It is easier to apply a logo to the top of vinyl but there are many negatives.

It is very difficult to get screen printing ink to adhere to upholstery vinyl. Most decent grade vinyl has a film applied to resist stains in commercial settings. This coating makes it very difficult to get the ink to adhere. This holds true for most methods of digital printing as well.

The preferred method of printing a logo bar stool is on the underside of clear vinyl. This process, while much more difficult, provides a longer lasting product in the field.
