The Advantages Of Having Wooden Restaurant Booths

By George Robinson


The most expensive places to eat are probably not the true definers of fine dining. The judgment is often not for exclusivity but for things like well prepared and fresh local ingredients or food delicacies. One consideration is for relaxed and friendly atmospheres that can be appreciated and shared by everyone who happens to be there.

In this regard, booths are part of the ambience and cultural setting, found in places full of friends and local lights. They can even be symbols or ideals of freedom and other American values. Because wooden restaurant booths are identified closely with the restaurant industry, they are something that can be notably missed.

They come in many styles, sizes and colors. The most common denominators are comfortable upholstery, high backs that provide some privacy and keep down noise, wood finishes, veneers and the like. Tables are often chosen as part of the package to conform with overall design and looks for a place.

Most restaurants will add certain perks to the mix. Owners sometimes add curtains for exclusive meets, outlets for computers or mobile phones, and cup holders. Also, there could be telephone or fax connections, ashtrays, and certainly company signage.

Specially made booths can be made by builders if restaurant operators want them. For most, good online catalogues will do, because these offer a wide variety of choices. The specifications can fit many tastes. Whether ready made or custom built, they are not too pricey and will last for years, especially with good maintenance and occasional remodeling or repair.

These are specialized pieces of furniture. They are not usually found in settings other than American diners. The practice is to usually have a small reception area opening to a long bar with stools and one complete side of banquette tables or booths. While which is more classic in the landscape is debatable, tables can be identified with the more common fast food companies that cut corners on space and design.

The country provides much of the wood used for building these classy pieces of furniture. For many, it is something proudly made by the people for natives of any one place. But there is the historical consideration to think of, one that says these used to be made of great hardwoods from Asia and put in the category of stable pieces that are built large.

In the end, it does not matter if the places where these are found are high end or more proletarian. As a matter of fact, some of the most famous and expensive places in cities nationwide use them as an integral part of ambience and identity. But there a lot of middle of the road places that bear witness to the popularity and serviceability of what is now a classic item in American dining.

Research can also support the fact that they were probably first used in exclusive dining places and even clubs for men. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. However, people can safely say that they truly represent the spirit of America in being cozy as well as very useful. They can even define the romance of restaurant experience in the country.
