Hello All,
I am in the market to purchase a Diner booth set, 2 single booths, and table with the chrome edging for my garage, man cave. I've looked online and there are many choices. I'm sure there are several of you who have been through this process and may can offer some advice on vendors.
Thank you

Curtis Kaufman used to work for a company that made diner booths them called Bars and Booths. I bought mine from there 12 years ago and it still looks brand new.

I bought a set from a lady that had very little use. After 2 or 3 years of using it daily the seat cushions have collapsed,
and I feel like I'm sitting on the wood. I am going to have the sponge replaced with a much higher grade.
Just thought this might be something you want to ask about, before you buy.

I appreciate the feedback.
bcharlton, Your set up looks great. I've looked at Bars and Booths. Can you tell me the length of your booths. I'm being told that 44" is standard, but can also get them in 46" and 48" lengths for extra cost. Also, can you tell me your table width. What I've seen is 24" and 30" widths.
Thank you in advance.

I love the Frosty sign as well. A very special gift from the wife. Anyway, my booths are 44" I believe but I will measure when I get home. Expensive but restaurant quality. 12 years in use and the seat cushions and springs are still firm.

I bought my stuff from Kilroys Malt Shop in Minneapolis years ago and still looks brand new, 12 years later.
also I think that Be Bop Joes sells this stuff and he is a sponsor of this site.. Joe Winterbottom, click on the banner for be bop joes

I'll check out the sponsor vendors. I am still interested in the booth length. BC, if you have the time, I'd appreciate you measuring your booths to see if they are 44". I want to know I have enough elbow room with the 44". I'm tempted to take a tape measure to a couple restaurants in town and check some out.
Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I began building the garage about 2 1/2 years ago. Size is 24' by 30', with 9 ft walls. Half of the ceiling is vaulted and the other half has a loft. It a work in progress, but have been enjoying as I work on it. I'm now at the stage of doing the electrical and will be hanging green porcelain barn lights from the ceiling. I modified some lights for the exterior, and also made an over the bench light from an old neon sign. The car is a 1924 Model T Touring.
