Cross-Back Chairs for a Gala or Fundraiser: Good Fit?
Warm wood, X-back, made for barns and vineyards. Here is how the Cross-Back Vineyard Chair holds up for a gala or fundraiser, checked against what that event actually needs.
Why it works for a gala or fundraiser
Tables sell, so table count and sponsor tables drive the plan. A solid-wood dining chair with a crossed back and woven or plank seat. It brings the warmth of a farm table to long reception rows and looks good from behind, which is the angle your guests see all night.
Galas are planned by table, not guest, because sponsors buy full tables. Count tables first and round chairs up to match.
What it costs at common guest counts
- 100 guests: about 104 chairs, $832 to $1,144
- 200 guests: about 208 chairs, $1,664 to $2,288
- 400 guests: about 416 chairs, $3,328 to $4,576
What to watch for
- No red flags in our five checks. Still confirm the finish and cushion options for your room.
- Selling partial tables and then discovering chair counts do not match table counts.
