Short answer: Yes — but not too many.
Having a few chairs at your booth helps with networking and rest, but overdoing it makes your booth look closed off or uninviting.
When You Absolutely Need Chairs
| Scenario | Reason |
|---|---|
| 6+ hour events | Staff needs to sit occasionally |
| Product demos or consultations | Guests need a seat for discussions |
| Long registration queues | Helps ease guest fatigue |
🪑 Folding chairs are best — easy to move, clean, and store.
How Many Chairs to Rent Based on Booth Size
| Booth Size | Staff Count | Chair Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 10x10 | 1–2 | 2 chairs max (staff only) |
| 10x20 | 2–4 | 3–4 chairs |
| Larger booth | 4+ | 1 chair per staff + 2 for guests |
Layout Suggestions
- Keep guest chairs to the side, not blocking your table
- Use bistro-height chairs if you want an open, modern look
- Avoid placing chairs behind a full table — it discourages engagement
Pro Tip:
A tired guest who’s allowed to sit becomes more likely to listen, sign up, or buy.
Conclusion
Renting the right number of chairs improves booth function and guest experience. Keep your space open, comfortable, and conversation-friendly.
