Retro Kitchen Booths

Retro booths are restaurant booths manufactured to look like restaurant booths of the past.  These restaurant booths can be used as kitchen booths or as traditional restaurant booths in restaurants, cafes, diners, and lunch rooms.  One thing that makes a typical restaurant booth into a diner booth is the use of retro upholstery vinyl.  There are many patterns such as cracked ice and naugahyde zodiac that were popular back in the 1950s and remain popular retro patterns today.  Retro booths often have uphostery finishes from the 1950s and 1960s.  Popular finishes for booths back then were channel back diner booths and v back diner booths.  If you are looking for vintage style restaurant booths, you should take a look at the styles available from American Chairs.
