Restaurant Furniture Made in the USA (2025)
Richardson Seating | Built in Chicago Since 1975
Last updated: July 2025
If you're looking for custom restaurant furniture made in the USA, you're in the right place. Richardson Seating has been manufacturing commercial-grade booths, bar stools, and chairs in Chicago for 50 years. Our products are used in national chains like Bowlero and Fogo de Chão and are built to last in high-traffic restaurants.
We build everything ourselves, which means faster turnaround times, more customization options, and long-term product support. Whether you need 5 chairs or 5,000, we can make it happen—without delays or tariff issues.

Why Buying Cheap Often Costs More
Many restaurants buy cheap imported furniture to save money upfront. But when it breaks, you can’t get replacement parts—or even the same model. Now your space looks mismatched.
We offer long-term continuity. If you order from us today and call us in two years, we can still make you the same stool or booth. That kind of support doesn’t come from a container ship.
