EnglishWhat to Know About ARTeFAC Restaurant Furniture and Custom-Made Chairs
Updated
ARTeFAC is an online furniture retailer selling bar stools, counter stools, dining chairs, tables, and accent pieces, with separate catalog sections for restaurant/hotel furniture and custom-made items. If you are furnishing a restaurant, hotel, or a home with commercial-grade seating, the main things to confirm before ordering are which catalog section an item belongs to, what "custom made" changes about the order, and the lead time and final specifications — none of which are fully stated on the site, so they need to be confirmed directly with ARTeFAC.
How the catalog is organized
The site separates everyday home furniture from contract-oriented lines. From the navigation and product listings, the relevant sections are:
- Bar Stools & Kitchen Counter Stools — the core home/kitchen range
- Leather Parson, Dining Room & Kitchen Chairs and Classic Chairs — dining seating
- Restaurant Furniture and Hotel Furniture — dedicated contract sections
- Contract Quality Custom Made — items positioned for commercial use
- Custom Made in Canada — noted on specific products, such as the Barrel Back Dining Chair
- Clearance, New Arrivals, and Antiques'n Accents — overflow and accent inventory
The practical implication: a chair that looks identical to a home model may sit in the restaurant section with different construction or upholstery expectations. When comparing, match items by the section they appear in, not by photo alone.
What "restaurant quality" and "custom made" mean in the listings
Product titles carry the quality signal directly. Examples from the catalog:
| Product | Listed price | Quality signal in title |
|---|---|---|
| Rattan Back Black Dining Chair | US $369.00 | "Restaurant Quality" |
| Modern Farmhouse Style Dining Chair in Beige | US $399.00 | "Restaurant Quality Chair" |
| Gold Legs with Fabric or Faux Leather Chair | US $573.00 | "Custom Made" |
| Barrel Back Dining Chair, many colors | US $580.00 | "Canadian Made" |
| Pedestal Swivel Bar Counter Stool, many colors | US $871.00 | "For Restaurants and Home" |
Two patterns are worth noting. First, "restaurant quality" appears as a label on specific dining chairs rather than as a site-wide claim, so it is a per-product attribute. Second, custom-made items are typically defined by finish and upholstery choices — gold legs with fabric or faux leather, or a frame/seat color combination — rather than by dimensions, which the listings do not show.
Bar stools vs. counter stools: the decision that matters most
The catalog mixes "bar" and "counter" in single product names (for example, "Swivel Kitchen Island Counter Bar Stool"), which can obscure the height question. Before choosing:
- Measure the clearance from floor to the underside of your counter or bar top.
- Match seat height to that clearance using the standard rule of roughly 9–12 inches between seat top and counter underside — confirm the actual seat height for the specific model with ARTeFAC, since heights are not listed in the product data shown.
- Check the base style — pedestal swivel, four-leg with gold cap, or framed swivel — against how the seat will be used (frequent turning at an island vs. fixed dining seating).
- Confirm the color/finish combination is a stocked option or a custom order, since many listings advertise "many colors" or "various seat colors."
Ordering checklist before you buy
Because lead times, exact dimensions, and customization limits are not published in the catalog data, treat these as questions for ARTeFAC directly (toll-free line listed on the site: 1-877-999-1198):
- Is this item in stock, or made to order? What is the lead time?
- For custom items: which fabrics, faux leathers, and frame finishes are available, and are there minimum quantities for restaurant orders?
- What are the exact seat height, overall dimensions, and weight capacity?
- Is the item rated for commercial use (contract grade), and does that differ from the home version?
- What is the return or cancellation policy on custom-made pieces?
Who this suits
ARTeFAC fits buyers who want a single source for coordinated gold-frame, swivel, and upholstered seating across a home kitchen, a restaurant dining room, or a hotel project, and who are comfortable confirming specifications by phone or contact form before ordering. It is a weaker fit if you need published, spec-sheet-level dimensions and lead times to compare against other vendors without a conversation — in that case, request the details in writing first and compare on that basis.
