Velvet Dining Chair Rental Cost: 50 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 $18–25. It is an estimate until pricing is final, not an offer.

• Use the Velvet Dining Chair where guests see it most (reception or head table) and our teak garden folding chair ($5–7) for a ceremony. For 50 chairs the midpoint swing is about $775.
• Order to a confirmed count plus a small spare, not the full invite list.
• It does not stack, so allow extra setup time. Plan indoor or tented use.

These guest counts from our layout guides land close to 50 chairs once a spare allowance is added, so the figure above is a realistic budget for them:

• Wedding reception, 50 guests: 52 chairs, $936 to $1,300
• Wedding ceremony, 50 guests: 52 chairs, $936 to $1,300
• Corporate dinner, 50 guests: 53 chairs, $954 to $1,325
• Graduation party, 50 guests: 53 chairs, $954 to $1,325
• Rehearsal dinner, 50 guests: 52 chairs, $936 to $1,300
• Birthday party, 50 guests: 53 chairs, $954 to $1,325
• Holiday party, 50 guests: 53 chairs, $954 to $1,325
• Baby or bridal shower, 50 guests: 53 chairs, $954 to $1,325

At this size a single van or small truck and a two-person crew is typical, and a statement style costs little in total.

An upholstered velvet chair with a channel-tufted back and slim gold or black legs. Richly colored and comfortable for long dinners, it's ideal for winter weddings and black-tie events.
