The problem
Folding chairs don't feel special for a milestone dinner.
How we help
Bentwood, wishbone or velvet chairs make a long dinner table feel like a restaurant.

Planning notes
A 30th on a Wicker Park rooftop, a 50th dinner under string lights in a Downers Grove yard, a 75th for grandma at a parish hall. Birthday parties around Chicago come in every size, and the bigger milestones often feel more like a wedding than a party.
For a seated dinner, matching chairs make the long table or rounds look finished. For a cocktail-style party, a few lounge-style vignettes and bar-height areas keep people mingling while giving older guests a place to sit.
Rooftops and walk-ups are common in the city. We'll ask about elevators, stairs and building rules when you book, so the chairs reach the party without any surprises.

Questions
Birthday Parties seating questions
Can I rent chairs for a birthday party at my house in Chicago?
Yes, we deliver to homes across Chicago and the suburbs. Let us know about stairs, alley access or parking when you book so we can plan the drop-off.
Can I rent a throne for a birthday party?
Yes. Our royal sweetheart throne comes in gold, silver and maroon finishes. It's priced per pair, so ask about a single throne when you request a quote.
How many chairs do I need for a 50th birthday party?
For a sit-down dinner, plan one per guest plus a couple of extras. For a cocktail-style party, seating for about a third of guests is a common starting point, with more if many guests are older.
Do you deliver to rooftops and high-rises?
Yes, with planning. Most high-rises require a freight elevator reservation and sometimes a COI, so check with your building management first.
Are your chairs okay for a backyard birthday party?
Several styles, including cross-back, ghost, shell and teak garden folding chairs, are suited to outdoor use. We'll still suggest a rain plan.
Is there a minimum order for a small party?
Request a quote with your headcount and we'll show exactly what a smaller order looks like, with chairs, delivery and setup itemized.
