Cheap Conference Chair with Cups

This Rom budget conference chair has a flip-up seat and a cup holder at the front of the arm, and it is made for halls that need many seats without a large budget. We build it in our own workshop in Istanbul, Turkey, on a steel profile frame with 55-density polyurethane foam.
What is on the chair
The arm top is plastic with a cup holder at the front. The sides of the arm are covered in the same fabric as the body, so no bare metal shows. An optional writing tablet folds into the arm when it is not in use. The back and the underside of the seat are protected by impact-resistant plastic covers, and on request these can be upholstered in the seat fabric for an extra charge. For buyers searching for a cheap conference chair that still holds up in daily use, this is the simplest build in our range.
How it is made
Frame and foam
The steel profile frame is placed in a mould and liquid foam is poured in. Once the foam has taken its shape it is removed and covered with fabric. The back is finished by gluing the fabric into the channel at the rear, and the seat is upholstered the same way. Faux leather can be used instead of fabric; see our faux leather range.
Steel and paint
The frame is a 40×50 mm steel profile, 2 mm thick, with electrostatic powder coating. The foam is 55-density polyurethane.
The flip-up seat
When nobody is sitting, the seat lifts up. That opens the gap between rows and makes it easier to walk through, which matters most in narrow halls. The fabric is stain-resistant and easy to clean, and flame-retardant fabric can be used when a project specification requires it.
Dimensions and row layout
The body is 50 cm wide, and with its arm each chair counts as 55 cm. Ten chairs in a row take 550 cm, or 555 cm with the extra arm at the end of the row. Allow about 100 cm between rows and no less than 90 cm in a tight room. If you add a writing tablet, keep at least 95 cm. For a full capacity calculation, read our notes on seat dimensions and row spacing.
Ordering and delivery
Production takes about 10 working days on average and varies with quantity and model. We ship across Turkey and worldwide. If you want the arms fully covered in fabric, look at the Rom enclosed arm conference chair. The rest of the range is listed under conference hall seating models. If a part wears out, we supply spare parts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the flip-up seat for?
When the seat is not in use it lifts, so people can move along the row without squeezing past. It helps most in halls with heavy in-and-out traffic or a tight row gap.
How much space do I need if I use a writing tablet?
We recommend not going below 95 cm between rows when tablets are used. The tablet hides in the arm when closed, but it needs room to be used comfortably when open.
Can I have faux leather instead of fabric?
Yes. The seat can be covered in fabric or faux leather. We choose between them with you according to how the hall will be used.

Seat and mechanism
The seat lifts when not in use, using a balance system. Do not apply oil or oil-based liquids to the moving parts.
Arm and cup holder
The arm is covered in the same fabric as the body. The arm top is plastic with a cup holder at the front. The writing tablet is optional and folds into the arm.
Upholstery and cleaning
Fabric or faux leather. Stain-resistant fabric is cleaned with a damp cloth and soapy foam. Flame-retardant fabric on request of the specification. Plastic parts are wiped with a damp cloth.
Covers
The back and underside of the seat are protected by impact-resistant plastic covers; these can be upholstered for an extra charge.
