Bentwood chairs Australia: what to check before you buy

If you are comparing bentwood chair suppliers, focus on what changes performance over time: timber grade, joinery, finish system, glides, and how the chair is packed for transport. The No.18 profile looks similar across websites, but the build spec can vary.

For cafés & restaurants

  • Seat height consistency across the batch
  • Stable legs (no wobble) and good glue lines at joints
  • Commercial finish that handles cleaning and knocks
  • Glides that suit tile, concrete, timber, or vinyl

For projects & fit-outs

  • Finish codes and sample approval before ordering
  • Spare chairs for quick replacements
  • Clear lead time and delivery planning by state
  • Ability to match chair + armchair + stool finishes

Also known as: No.18 bentwood chair / A-18 / A-1840 (chair). Armchair and stools are commonly referenced as B-1840, H-1840, C-4346 and C-4375.
