Save configured booths, tables and chairs to a seating plan, then duplicate the plan for the next dining room or location.
Where to begin
Start in chairs or bar stools, depending on whether your tables stand at dining, counter or bar height. Check one piece's configured price and dimensions, then multiply across the room.
Browse chairs for the table →Some tables come as one piece, while others pair a top with a base from separate listings. Look at what comes with the table, and whether the top and base suit each other, before you compare costs.
See tables, tops and bases →Name a section, save the configured pieces into it and adjust the counts. The furniture subtotal sits beside your target, and your own allowance stays apart.
