Tatami & Low Chairs Spec Sheet for Restaurants & Hotels

By JP Furniture · 2026-08-22 · Tatami & Low Chairs

Written by the JP Furniture production team in Foshan. Updated 2026-08-22. Every model referenced below is in current production and can be ordered made-to-spec.

Key takeaways

Tatami & Low Chairs suit Japanese and tea-house layouts because the low-profile wood frame handles daily loading.
Check seat height against table height first — 45–48 cm with a 72–75 cm top.
Factory price moves with frame gauge, finish and upholstery grade, not with the photo.
MOQ can be met by mixing models in one container rather than deepening a single SKU.
Plan a 10% spare inventory: it turns replacements into a same-week task.

1. Seat height and how to match your table

Standard dining seat height is 45–48 cm paired with a 72–75 cm table, leaving roughly 27–30 cm of clearance. For tatami chairs used at counters or bars that figure changes to 65 cm and 75 cm seat heights. Get this wrong and no amount of styling saves the room — clearance is the number guests feel first.

2. Seat depth, width and backrest angle

Seat depth of 40–45 cm suits most adults; deeper seats push shorter guests forward off the backrest. Width of 42–48 cm balances comfort against how many you can fit along a banquette. A 5–8 degree recline is the sweet spot for Japanese and tea-house layouts: enough to relax, not so much that guests slide.

3. Weight capacity and testing

Contract seating should be rated well above average body weight because the real load is dynamic — people drop into chairs. Ask for the static load rating on the low-profile wood frame and, if the chair stacks, how many units high it can be stacked without deforming. Both numbers belong on the spec sheet you sign off.

4. Stacking, nesting and storage maths

Storage decides whether you can host events. A stackable model at 5–10 units high turns a storage closet into real capacity. Measure your closet height before ordering, then subtract 10 cm for handling clearance — the specification that kills most storage plans is the ceiling, not the chair.

5. How to write the spec into your RFQ

Put six numbers in your request: seat height, seat depth, frame material and gauge, finish type, load rating, and quantity. Suppliers quote faster and you can compare line by line. Vague RFQs get vague quotes, and the difference shows up as a surprise on the invoice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOQ for tatami chairs?

Stocked models start from 6 pieces per model and can be mixed within one container. Made-to-spec runs start higher because the line has to be set up for your finish.

How long does production take?

15–25 days after sample approval for most tatami chairs, plus 3–7 days for sampling and then transit. Custom fabric or colour adds about a week.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. We ship a single sample for approval; sampling is the step that fixes every later date, so we recommend doing it before locking an opening schedule.

Do you support custom colours and fabrics?

Yes — frame colour, upholstery fabric, seat density and logo application are all available on tatami chairs. Custom work adds roughly 5–10 days.

What seat height works with a standard table?

45–48 cm seat with a 72–75 cm table, leaving 27–30 cm of clearance. Counter and bar heights are 65 cm and 75 cm.

How many chairs stack safely?

Most stackable models in this range stack 5–10 high. Check the spec and subtract 10 cm from your storage height for handling clearance.
