The wood frame is why this survives a busy floor
Pressed-steel chair frames fatigue at the weld where the back meets the seat, and once a hairline crack starts there the chair starts to rock. Timber takes the same repeated load through a mortise and tenon, which is a joint that loosens rather than cracks, and a loose joint can be re-glued on site. That is the practical reason a wood-framed chair is still the default in bars that turn seats three or four times a night.
The species matters less than the section. The rear legs here run as one continuous piece from the floor to the top rail, so the load from a leaning guest goes straight down the leg instead of through a joint at seat height.
Vinyl or leather, and where the money goes
Contract vinyl is the sensible choice for a bar bench that sees spilled beer and cleaning chemicals daily; corrected-grain leather looks better in year one and shows every scratch by year three. Either way the foam specification does more for comfort than the cover does, because a 35 density foam wrapped in calico holds its shape where a thin foam over a hard board collapses into the frame.
Booth geometry in a bay
One bench with two loose chairs across a 1200 mm table is the tightest configuration that still lets a guest get out without the table moving. The plinth is recessed 100 mm, which keeps the toe space clear so the bench does not read as a solid block from across the room.
