When you have a club environment to furnish, you often have the advantage of having a very well defined customer base - clubs typically have either a members list that will give you a good idea of who you need to cater for, or quite a narrow appeal in terms of age range or special interests.
Compare this with, say, a pub or restaurant, where you might see everyone from lone customers to large social groups and family bookings, and choosing your club furniture can be a much more logical process.
But it can still be challenging too, especially if you are kitting out your entire premises in one go, and need to make sure you get it right first time.
If you are new to buying club furniture, then just think about other venues similar to your own - whether it is a sports club, a night club, or simply a social club that is open to members only.
You have probably been in several similar establishments over the course of your life, so think about what worked well and what did not.
For example, if you have fruit machines installed on your premises, you may often find your bar stools get dragged over for players to perch on while they play.
You can prepare for this by putting a tall table or two nearby, with tall stools positioned at these, so they can be moved easily back and forth between the tables and the fruit machines when desired.
If you frequently see family groups with small children attending your establishment, make sure you have seating suitable - and this does not have to mean tiny chairs for the youngest customers.
Tub chairs can accommodate a wide range of ages and heights, or simple cube stools can be ideal for younger children to sit on, without feeling as though the furniture is too big for them.
Spindle-back chairs, meanwhile, can be useful for parents with very young children, as many now carry a kind of sling that simply attaches around two of the spindles, turning the chair into a makeshift high-chair for their child.
