Chair hire rates in Johannesburg
Function furniture hire means chairs, tables and lounge pieces delivered, set out to a floor plan and collected afterwards — priced per item, and cheapest when it rides the same truck as the tent.
| Chair | Typical rate each | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic chair | R7–R12 | Function workhorse — tents, funerals, overflow |
| Tiffany chair | R35–R60 | Weddings and receptions, gold/silver/clear |
| Wimbledon chair | R25–R45 | Garden ceremonies and matric farewells |
| Phoenix chair | R15–R25 | Padded step up from plastic at function scale |
| Ghost chair | R45–R70 | Sandton corporate and modern receptions |
| King & queen throne set | R450–R900/set | Bridal couple, umemulo and birthday honours |
Tables — trestle, round and cocktail
Trestle tables (R60–R120) seat six to eight and run buffets; 10-seater rounds (R90–R160) build wedding floors; cocktail tables (R80–R140) carry Sandton year-end functions and canapé hours.
Couch lounges, heaters and the finishing hires
Couch lounges inside stretch tents are how many Joburg birthdays and year-ends are set now: two- and three-seaters with ottomans grouped into lounges, from R850 per grouping. Patio gas heaters (R350–R550) are the Joburg winter essential: May to August functions run them from sunset, one heater per 15–20 guests. Draping per metre, fairy-light canopies, walkway carpets, stage decks and mobile fridges complete the list — all riding the same truck as your tent from stretch tent hire in Johannesburg or marquee hire in Johannesburg.
Furniture-only hire
Hall functions across the metro — church halls, community centres, school halls from Soweto to Springs — book chairs and tables without a tent, delivered to your floor plan. For worked bundle totals, see tent hire prices in Johannesburg. Township bundles with tent, chairs and tables in one delivery are priced under tent hire in Soweto and tent hire on the East Rand; every tent range is on tent hire Johannesburg.
Common questions
How much are tents and chairs to hire together in Joburg?
About R1,800–R3,200 for 50 guests in the Joburg metro: a peg-and-pole tent, 50 plastic chairs and 8 trestle tables. Upgrading those 50 seats to Tiffany chairs adds roughly R1,400–R2,400.
How many heaters does a Joburg winter function need?
One gas patio heater per 15–20 guests under canvas. A 60-guest July function in Joburg books three to four at R350–R550 each and lights them at sunset, when Highveld temperatures fall fast.
Can I hire only chairs and tables in Johannesburg?
Yes. Furniture-only orders deliver across the metro; the crew sets tables and chairs to your floor plan and collects after the function.
