Custom Banquette Seating FAQ — Any Shape, Any Size, Any Installation
We design and build fully custom banquette seating for residential and commercial spaces — including breakfast nooks, restaurant booths, curved banquettes, U‑shaped layouts, wall‑to‑wall seating systems, and commercial‑grade lounge seating. This FAQ answers the most common questions clients ask when planning a custom banquette project.
Custom Banquette Seating FAQ
Do you build fully custom banquettes from scratch?
Yes. Every banquette is built from raw materials in our Fort Lee workshop and West Nyack CNC facility. Nothing is pre‑made, modular, or imported — each piece is engineered specifically for your space, layout, and design intent.
Can you build banquettes in ANY size or shape?
Yes. We build banquettes in any size, shape, or configuration, including L‑shape, U‑shape, straight wall banquettes, curved and radiused banquettes, floating banquettes, booth seating, and modular commercial systems. If you can measure it, we can build it.
Do you build curved or radiused banquettes?
Yes. All curved, radiused, and geometric components are CNC‑cut in our West Nyack fabrication facility for perfect symmetry, clean lines, and repeatable precision across multiple units or matching pieces.
Do you build commercial‑grade banquettes for restaurants and lounges?
Absolutely. We build restaurant booths, bar seating, lounge seating, hotel banquettes, and high‑traffic commercial systems using commercial‑grade foam, frames, and upholstery materials engineered for daily use.
Can you build residential banquettes for kitchens and breakfast nooks?
Yes. We build custom banquettes for kitchens, dining rooms, breakfast nooks, open‑concept spaces, and built‑in seating areas. Each piece is designed around your room, traffic patterns, and existing architecture.
Do you offer storage‑integrated banquettes?
Yes. We can build lift‑up storage seats, drawer storage, and hidden compartments, depending on your layout and storage needs. Storage options are available for both residential and commercial projects.
Can you match my existing dining chairs, cabinetry, or millwork?
Yes. We can match wood finishes, upholstery fabrics, COM materials, trim details, and overall proportions so your banquette integrates seamlessly with your existing furniture, wall panels, or cabinetry.
Do you accept COM (Customer’s Own Material)?
Yes. We accept COM fabrics, leathers, vinyls, and performance materials. We review yardage, durability, and suitability for the project before production to ensure proper performance and longevity.
What materials do you use inside the banquette?
We use solid hardwood frames, CNC‑cut components, commercial‑grade foam, reinforced joinery, high‑density seating support, and premium upholstery materials. Every banquette is engineered for long‑term comfort and structural integrity.
Can you integrate electrical cutouts or lighting?
Yes. We can integrate outlet cutouts, switch cutouts, sconce cutouts, hidden wiring channels, and LED lighting recesses into your banquette and surrounding millwork or wall panels. All cutouts are CNC‑cut for precision.
Do you build wall‑to‑wall or floor‑to‑ceiling banquette systems?
Yes. We build full architectural seating systems that can integrate with wall panels, acoustic systems, millwork, cabinetry, and architectural upholstery. This is ideal for commercial spaces and luxury residential projects.
Do you install banquettes in NYC apartments or tight spaces?
Yes. We specialize in tight‑access installations, including NYC apartments, brownstones, high‑rise buildings, and commercial spaces with limited entry. When needed, we fabricate in modular sections for easier delivery and assembly.
Do you offer white‑glove delivery and installation?
Yes. Our in‑house team provides white‑glove delivery and installation throughout NYC, Northern NJ, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County. We do not subcontract installations — everything is handled by our own crew.
What is the lead time for a custom banquette?
Most banquettes take approximately 4–10 weeks, depending on size, shape, materials, complexity, and installation requirements. Timelines are confirmed during the quoting process.
Can you build banquettes for commercial projects with multiple units?
Yes. We regularly handle multi‑unit commercial projects for restaurants, hotels, lounges, offices, retail spaces, and lobbies. Our CNC and upholstery capabilities allow us to produce consistent, repeatable units at scale.
Can you recreate a design from a photo or inspiration image?
Yes. We can match or reinterpret Pinterest inspiration, restaurant seating you’ve seen, designer sketches, architectural drawings, or magazine photos. We can also adjust proportions to fit your exact space and comfort requirements.
Do you build banquettes with removable seats or backs?
Yes. We can design banquettes with removable seats, removable backs, access panels, and modular components to support maintenance, cleaning, or future service needs — especially useful in commercial environments.
What foam densities do you use for banquettes?
We use residential comfort foam, commercial‑grade high‑density foam, multi‑layer foam systems, and optional firmer or softer builds depending on how the seating will be used. Comfort is tailored to your project.
Can you build banquettes that align with wall panels or cabinetry?
Yes. We frequently integrate banquettes with upholstered wall panels, acoustic systems, millwork, built‑ins, and architectural surrounds. Everything is measured and fabricated for a seamless, aligned installation.
