Buying custom restaurant booths from China requires more than choosing an attractive design. For restaurant owners, interior designers, and hospitality project buyers, accurate dimensions, clear production drawings, and suitable delivery arrangements are essential.
Unlike freestanding dining chairs, restaurant booth seating often needs to fit specific wall dimensions, dining layouts, and installation conditions.
This guide explains how to prepare your requirements, confirm custom booth specifications, and organize the purchasing process with a furniture supplier in China.
1. Define Your Restaurant Booth Requirements
Before contacting a supplier, prepare a clear description of your project.
Start by identifying the type of booth seating you need.
Common restaurant booth configurations include:
- Single-sided booths installed along a wall.
- Double-sided booths with seating on both sides.
- Corner booths designed for L-shaped layouts.
- Custom booth seating for irregular spaces.
The appropriate configuration depends on your restaurant layout, seating capacity, and interior design.
When requesting a quotation, provide the following information:
- Restaurant floor plan or seating layout.
- Reference images showing your preferred booth design.
- Required quantity and approximate dimensions.
- Preferred frame materials, upholstery, and finishes.
- Project location and expected delivery schedule.
If you already have architectural drawings, share the relevant pages with your furniture supplier.
Clear project information helps the supplier understand your requirements before preparing a quotation.

2. Confirm Booth Dimensions and Restaurant Layout
Accurate measurements are particularly important for custom restaurant booths.
A booth that looks suitable in a reference image may not fit the available space or work with your selected dining tables.
Before confirming your order, review the following measurements:
| Measurement | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Overall length | Available wall or floor space |
| Overall depth | Space occupied by the booth |
| Seat height | Compatibility with the dining table |
| Backrest height | Required support and visual proportion |
| Booth configuration | Single, double, corner, or custom layout |
You should also consider the available space for customers and staff to move around the restaurant.
For wall-mounted or corner seating, confirm the actual site measurements rather than relying only on preliminary design drawings.
If the restaurant is still under construction, check whether the final wall finishes, flooring, or other installation details could affect the available dimensions.
For a more detailed discussion of seating dimensions and specifications, read our restaurant booth specification guide.
3. Choose Materials, Upholstery, and Finishes
Restaurant booth seating is available in various frame materials, upholstery options, and surface finishes.
Your choices should reflect the restaurant’s interior design, daily usage, and cleaning requirements.
Before placing an order, confirm the following details with your supplier:
Frame and construction
Confirm the frame material and structural requirements for your selected design.
Upholstery
Choose the preferred fabric, leather, or synthetic upholstery according to the available options.
Color and finish
Provide clear color references or material specifications when a particular appearance is required.
Cleaning and maintenance
Consider how the selected upholstery and finishes will be maintained during daily restaurant operations.
If your project requires specific performance standards or material certifications, communicate these requirements before ordering and request the relevant documentation.
Do not assume that every material or finish is available for every booth design.
4. Understand the Minimum Order Quantity
Minimum order quantity, or MOQ, is an important consideration when purchasing restaurant booths from China.
At LINYU Furniture, our standard MOQ for restaurant booth seating is 10 pieces.
The quantity can be adjusted depending on the specific project requirements.
For example, a restaurant renovation may require a smaller order than a new hospitality development.
If your project requires fewer than 10 pieces, contact our team with your preferred booth design, required dimensions, and quantity to discuss the available options.
The final order quantity should be confirmed before placing your order.
5. Confirm Production Drawings Before Manufacturing
Custom restaurant booths often require detailed drawings to communicate the intended design and dimensions.
A reference image can show the appearance of the furniture, but it does not provide all the information required for production.
Before manufacturing begins, review the relevant production drawings and confirm:
- Overall booth dimensions.
- Seating configuration and quantity.
- Upholstery materials and colors.
- Frame and finish details.
- Any agreed custom design requirements.
For corner booths or seating installed against walls, pay particular attention to the dimensions and orientation of each section.
At LINYU Furniture, the general ordering process follows these steps:
Step 1: Place Your Order
Confirm the selected booth design, order quantity, and agreed specifications.
Step 2: Confirm Production Drawings
Review the drawings and confirm the relevant dimensions, materials, and design details.
Step 3: Production
The furniture is manufactured according to the confirmed order requirements.
Step 4: Review Product Photos and Videos
After production, actual product photographs and videos are provided for customer confirmation.
Step 5: Arrange Shipment
Shipment is arranged according to the agreed delivery terms.
If any details are unclear in the drawings, request clarification before confirming production.
6. Plan Packaging, Shipping, and Installation
Custom restaurant booths can present different delivery challenges from individual dining chairs.
Long seating sections, corner configurations, and the layout of the receiving location should all be considered before shipment.
For larger booth designs, sectional construction and transportation arrangements can be discussed according to the project requirements.
Before confirming your order, check the following details.
Packaging and transportation
Confirm the packaging method, approximate package dimensions, and whether the booth will be shipped as one unit or in separate sections.
Delivery access
Check the available access at the destination, including doorways, elevators, staircases, and other relevant site conditions.
Installation arrangements
Confirm how the booth will be installed and whether any assembly or installation support is included in the agreed project scope.
If the booth is supplied in separate sections, clarify the assembly requirements before shipment.
Finished-product confirmation
Review the actual product photographs and videos provided after production.
Pay attention to the visible upholstery, finishes, configuration, and other agreed design details.
If anything is unclear, request additional photographs or videos before confirming shipment.
Remote photo and video confirmation can help buyers review the finished products, but it does not replace a physical inspection when one is required by the project.
7. Understand the Warranty and After-Sales Policy
Warranty terms should be confirmed before purchasing custom restaurant seating.
LINYU Furniture provides a 2-year warranty covering inherent product quality defects.
The free warranty does not cover:
- Damage caused by misuse or accidental damage.
- Normal wear and tear.
- Scratches and stains.
- Damage caused by improper unloading.
If a product quality issue occurs, contact our team with the order details and relevant photographs.
Our team will review the situation and provide after-sales support according to the applicable warranty terms.
For shipping-related damage or installation concerns, the responsibilities of the relevant parties should be confirmed in the agreed contract and delivery terms.
