What's a good formula for estimating how many conference chairs to order for a whole office?

A practical formula: count all planned conference tables in your space, then multiply the total seat count by 1.1–1.2 (to account for spares and breakage over time). A company with 50 employees typically has 1 large conference room (10–12 chairs), 2 small meeting rooms (4–6 chairs each), and a training room (12–20 chairs) — roughly 30–44 conference chairs total. Budget 10% over your seat count as spares. FindOfficeFurniture.com can build a complete conference seating package for your office — call 888-719-4960 for a volume quote and the best deals.
