Hello! I have been running in to a wall trying to find bentwood cabaret chairs. Has anyone used these before and might have any advice on places that lend/rent/sell them? I need to find about 30. Color is not as important as style and of course I'm working within a budget. I'm in Massachusetts, for reference. Appreciate any guidance anyone might be able to offer. Thank you!

I think IKEA has one that is pretty cheap but you have to buy at the store.

Sorry, I did a search and IKEA no longer has them.
Try a restaurant supply business. You might be able to rent them.

​I think a good option would be to call every theater within a forty mile radius and beg.  Colleges, community theaters, churches that do productions.  Other schools?  Most theaters are willing to share - some for free, some for an ad in the program, some for money.  We have used these exact chairs in many of our previous shows.  I believe we borrowed them once from a college nearby and once from a community theater about forty miles south of us.  Call everyone and beg!
Good luck!

I am in the same boat- I need about five of these chairs in three weeks, and we can't find them anywhere! I was so happy when you posted that web link to webstaurantstore, but of course, THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK! I see the hand of the devil in this!

I think you mean the clastic Thonet number 18 bentwood chair. Some chairs advertised as bentwood are more in the Charles Eames style which I do not think you want. 

You can find several suppliers on Alibaba for prices under $35 each (plus S&H). 

There is also i version in plastic that comes in black, grey or white for around $79.

I have some but I am clear in Iowa.  The last time I shipped big stuff I sent it on the GreyHound bus to someone!  Much cheaper for shipping.

Not sure where ours showed up for at our school but they were in our detention room and I hijacked them for theatre!
