Perhaps more than any other type of hospitality establishment, the general style and personality of a club matters, and that includes the choice of club furniture used in its interior.
Members, visitors and their guests will all want to walk into a welcoming environment, whether your venue offers regular facilities, occasional events, or simply a place to meet casually.
The right club furniture acts as your friendly face even before visitors have encountered a member of staff - different sizes of table can show that everyone, from individuals to large groups, is equally welcome.
Comfortable seating, positioned in sensible groupings, can help people to walk in, sit down and immediately begin to relax or enjoy themselves, without having to drag furniture around to create a usable area.
Even when some of your club furniture needs to be moved, having some matching but lighter options, such as small stools in upholstery that matches the chairs, can allow them to be dragged up to a nearby table without any really heavy lifting required by your guests or your staff.
Your club furniture may need to be more versatile than simply being portable, of course - and this is where stackable chairs and folding trestle tables can be particularly useful.
These clearly have the advantage that they can be stacked and packed away in the minimum of storage space - potentially allowing several hundreds of chairs to be kept in a side room, in several stacks of safe and sensible heights.
But this does not mean compromising on comfort, and stackable chairs are often ergonomically designed, and even cushioned and upholstered, without preventing them from being stacked away into a compact space.
The only clear indication that these chairs are designed to be stacked is sometimes that the legs splay outwards slightly, so that each chair can slot on top of the next.
Each may also have an additional metal locking mechanism on each side - similar to a tongue and groove system - so that rows of chairs can be fastened to one another to help keep them in position.
This can allow your venue to be used for meetings, seminars and other such sessions, potentially creating a further revenue stream for your club premises.
