Cross-Back Chair Rental Cost: 200 Chairs in Chicago

The chair itself is only part of the bill. A quote also depends on delivery distance in the Chicago area, whether setup and pickup are included, the day of the week, how many floors the crew carries chairs up, and any cushions, covers or sashes you add.

Our figure uses a per-chair estimate of $8–11. It is an estimate until pricing is final, not an offer.

• Use the Cross-Back Vineyard Chair where guests see it most (reception or head table) and our teak garden folding chair ($5–7) for a ceremony. For 200 chairs the midpoint swing is about $700.
• Order to a confirmed count plus a small spare, not the full invite list.
• It stacks, which can speed setup and teardown. It is outdoor friendly.

These guest counts from our layout guides land close to 200 chairs once a spare allowance is added, so the figure above is a realistic budget for them:

At this size treat delivery as a project: multiple crew members, a firm load-in window and a venue-approved floor 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.
