The difference in theater seats is like the difference between an economy seat on a plane and first class seating. The reviled economy seats on a plane lack width, have no leg room, and lack padding which is especially noticeable on those long flights. There is nothing worse than going to a theater and having the same awful experience.
People attending theaters are there to enjoy something special. Whether that is a new film or an artistic performance does not matter. The purpose of a theater is for the audience to focus on the presentation in front of them. This is hard to do when the theater seating is inadequate. An uncomfortable seat can take a viewer out of the moment and interrupt the artistic experience.
Seating quality defines a venue. The public needs to feel like they are getting value for their money. Plush high-end auditorium chairs are standard at performance art centers hosting special events.
In many places in America, old fashioned theatres have opened and venue owners are employing used theater seats to create the right atmosphere. Some cinemas devoted to a recycling theme avail themselves of used theatre chairs for green reasons.
Some sports or concert venues find themselves needing extra seating for an upcoming event. On special occasions, schools can also showcase an event for which their auditorium chairs are inadequate. A wide variety of removable seating is available for these situations.
Theater owners on tight budgets and schools with limited funding often want to improve their facilities but cannot afford it. Seat restoration services can renovate those old chairs and bring their auditorium seats back to the standard of its past.
Choosing seating for a venue requires consideration for what that venue does. Church seating is for comfort and quiet function. It is important that the seats look right for the venue. In the example of a church, a certain dignity is important. For a classroom setting, the seating should have an academic feel to it. Cinema seating is about comfort plus function. The cupholder is a very important part of being comfortable at the theater.
