Banqueting chairs are used for many different purposes. They might be intended for a banquet, especially a catered one. They might be found at a restaurant, dining hall, concert, overflow seating or church fellowship halls. Chairs intended for this purpose must be utilitarian, but they should also be comfortable for people who are attending the event. Sometimes the chairs are rented and others may be purchased for repeated usage.Chairs that are rented by commercial organizations often are very lightweight. There is little option in either color or style. Often these rental units are constructed of stackable molded plastic or vinyl.
