Industrial dining chairs — reclaimed wood on powder-coated iron, built for daily service.
A solid or reclaimed-wood seat on a welded, powder-coated iron frame: the reclaimed-factory, café and loft look manufactured to your design or ours, finished to a commercial standard and shipped import-ready from a single container up.
Two materials doing what each does best — wood you sit on, iron that holds it.
The industrial dining chair is the defining café and loft seat: a honest slab of solid or reclaimed wood on an exposed, welded steel frame. It reads as reclaimed-factory heritage and sells across restaurant fit-outs, breweries, co-working floors and modern retail assortments. We build ours on genuine Jodhpur solid-wood credibility — the wood seat is real sheesham, mango, acacia or salvaged old timber, and the frame is wrought iron welded and powder-coated in our own network — so the look is authentic, not a veneer over particleboard.

Dense hardwood seat
Sheesham and acacia are dense, close-grained hardwoods that resist denting and carry a weighted, premium feel. Mango offers an open grain that takes stain beautifully, and reclaimed old wood brings nail holes, saw marks and patina no new timber can fake — each seat is genuinely unique.
Welded steel strength
The wrought-iron frame is welded at every joint, not merely bolted, so there is no wobble under daily restaurant service. Powder coating fuses a tough, scratch- and rust-resistant finish to the steel — far more durable than wet paint and specified to hold up on busy commercial floors.
Freight-smart by design
The flat seat and tubular frame knock down cleanly: the base bolts to the seat on arrival. That raises the piece count per 20ft / 40ft container, cuts transit breakage and lowers landed cost per chair — the economics large importers and online sellers plan around.
Standard industrial-chair dimensions and build options.
Indicative guidance for planning covers and container loads. Every dimension, wood, frame finish and height is made to order — share your drawings for an exact OEM specification.

Dimensions are indicative for export planning; confirmed specs are issued per order. Knockdown construction raises the piece count per 20ft / 40ft container.
One chair, many floors.
Order a single profile in volume, or mix heights and finishes across a load — including coordinated dining tables and matching stools in the same wood tone and frame finish for a complete set.
Cafés & restaurants
Hard-wearing seating that reads as reclaimed-factory heritage and survives a full service, day after day.
Bars & breweries
Counter- and bar-height builds on the same frame family to carry the industrial look from table to rail.
Retail & e-commerce
A top-selling online profile — flat-packed for low freight and clean, parcel-friendly packaging.
Co-working & offices
The loft aesthetic for breakout, canteen and meeting spaces, specified for commercial traffic.
Specified to survive the floor it sits on.
For hospitality and contract projects we reinforce weld points, through-bolt the seat to the frame, and specify a commercial-grade powder coat for scratch and rust resistance. Seat height, backrest and floor glides are matched to your tables, and build spec, wood tone and frame finish are held consistent across an entire fit-out. Samples are produced before the production run so your designer signs off on comfort, height and durability first.
Care & after-sale
Industrial chairs ship with a care note for buyers: wipe the iron frame with a dry or barely-damp cloth and keep it out of standing water to protect the powder coat, and re-oil or wax the natural-finish wood seat periodically. Knockdown fixings should be checked and re-tightened after the first few weeks of use, since steel-to-wood joints settle under load. We supply replacement hardware, touch-up finish details and frame-coat specifications on request to support your own warranty terms.
Import-ready paperwork on every chair.
Most Jodhpur workshops can weld a frame; far fewer can hand you the compliance file that clears it through customs. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant sheesham handling, and we build our due diligence around the EU Deforestation Regulation — geolocated and deforestation-free — so your container moves while others' wait. US Lacey Act support, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and ISPM-15 packing are covered as standard, backed by SEDEX / SMETA social audit and SGS inspection.

What importers and hospitality buyers ask us.
What is an industrial dining chair made of?
An industrial dining chair pairs a solid or reclaimed-wood seat with a welded, powder-coated iron (wrought-iron) frame. We use sheesham, mango, acacia or reclaimed old wood for the seat and a matte black or gunmetal steel base, giving the reclaimed-factory, café and loft look with the strength to survive heavy commercial use.
What is the minimum order for industrial dining chairs?
A trial or sample set can ship LCL (part-container) so you can approve the wood, finish and frame first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and industrial chairs can be consolidated with industrial dining tables, bar stools and mixed furniture in a single container.
Can industrial dining chairs ship flat-pack?
Yes. We engineer most industrial chairs as knockdown / flat-pack (RTA) — the iron base bolts to the wood seat on arrival, which cuts freight cost and transit breakage and raises the piece count per container. Fully welded, assembled builds are also available where a project calls for them.
Are industrial wood-and-iron dining chairs strong enough for restaurants and bars?
Yes. The welded steel frame and through-bolted seat are specified for contract use — restaurants, cafés, bars, breweries and co-working floors. We reinforce weld points, use commercial-grade powder coat for scratch and rust resistance, and can add floor glides and seat height to match counter or bar tables.
Are your industrial dining chairs compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant sheesham handling, and we are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
Do you make matching industrial dining tables and bar stools?
Yes. Industrial chairs can be ordered as part of a coordinated range — matching industrial dining tables, benches and counter or bar stools in the same wood tone and frame finish — so a complete café or restaurant set ships in one consolidated, compliant container.
