RESTAURANT FURNITURE TAKES A BEATING.
OURS IS BUILT FOR IT
A restaurant's furniture works harder than almost any other commercial installation. Three services a day, seven days a week, year after year. It gets spilled on, dragged across floors, and sat in thousands of times. It also has to photograph well, reflect the design intent of the space, and make guests want to stay.
Fortner builds custom banquettes, booth seating, barstools, lounge chairs, and dining chairs for restaurants of every type. From fast-casual to fine dining, coffee shops to hotel restaurants, every piece is built to commercial grade and made to spec in Columbus, Ohio.
We have been building restaurant furniture since 1929. We know what holds up and what does not. We work directly with restaurant owners, designers, and operators from concept through install.

THE FORTNER PROCESS
Five steps to a successful restaurant project.
-
You approve the estimate and materials, and we get to work. Fabrics, finishes, and any COM materials are confirmed before production begins. No surprises down the line.
-
Our team comes to your property and takes precise measurements. Every dimension is verified on site before a single cut is made.
-
We produce detailed shop drawings for your review and sign-off. You see exactly what you're getting before it goes into production.
-
Once all materials are on hand and drawings are approved, your project moves into our Columbus shop. Foam, fabric, finishing. Built by hand, built to spec.
-
When production is complete, we coordinate delivery around your property's schedule and handle the install from start to finish.
