- General Questions
Do you sell to residential customers?
Yes. We are happy to sell commercial grade products to both residential and commercial customers.
What sets Chairforce apart from other retailers?
There’s a few differences.
• Our furniture is designed for commercial use, no compromises. It’s strong.
• We have a huge range, not just half a dozen choices.
• Crucially, we aim to have everything in stock at all times, so customers can have their items same day if necessary.
• We have an everyday pricing model so no sham sales, no inflated prices that get discounted on Black Friday. We are friendly, communicative people who detest fuss and value efficiency.
Where can I find your store locations and are you open on Weekends?
We are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
You can find your local store and more information here.
What clients have you supplied to?
If you sit down in Australia regularly, you’ve sat on one of our chairs. There’s barely a place that hasn’t bought from us. From major national companies like BHP, Red Rooster, Subway, Discovery Parks to your local bar, corner cafe, baker, restaurant, golf club, community centre or church. The list is endless.
How long has Chairforce been in business?
Chairforce started in 2009. And boy have we grown. But we are still a family owned and operated Australian business and still behave like one. And we forever will.
Can I view your products in person?
Of course, we would love to see you. Come into one of our 6 showrooms, all products are on display to test and touch. If you like it then we will grab one out and even put it in the car.
Do you have A Tassie Showroom?
Sorry, not at the moment. Tassie customers please arrange an online video consult with the Melbourne team. They’ll show you around the showroom and you’ll get a good feel of each product.
How do I request a Quote for a product?
Add the products to your quote by clicking the “quote” button on each product page — don’t forget to update the quantities and select the colour. Once you’ve submitted your quote, we’ll give you a call to confirm your details and delivery preferences.
Just a heads-up: our customer care team is based in Perth. Your call will come from 08 9436 8570, so make sure to pick up. If you miss it, no worries — we’ll leave a message. We can’t move forward with your quote until we’ve confirmed everything, so please help us speed things along by answering the call or giving us a ring back as soon as you can.

How do I place an order online?
Simply add your items to the cart and proceed to checkout (make sure you select the colour and update the quantity). We have designed the checkout process to be as simple and quick as possible.

Do you do commercial or bulk orders?
We are not an on-seller.
However if you want to buy from us – go ahead . . .
What payment methods do you accept online at Chairforce?
You can pay online, over the phone or in person in the showroom, with a credit card, paypal, by direct deposit and you can even hand over cold hard cash.
We also accept cheques but we would need 5 days to clear. We can also email an invoice/receipt with all the bank details if that helps.
Just call for more details.

What do I need to bring with me to collect my order?
Please bring your drivers licence and have your order number ready.
If your name is not on the invoice please ensure we have been notified that you will be collecting the order.
Can I pay for my order when I collect it?
Sorry no. In order to secure an item for pick up we will need payment at time of order. You can pop into the branch and place you order in person, pay and then wait to pick up your order.
If you are in a rush please call ahead to check wait times.
What happens after I place an order online?
Once you place your order a confirmation email will be sent with your order details. One of our friendly staff will contact you directly and confirm delivery details and/or quote delivery costs.
(The call will be from an 08 9436 8570 number, so please accept the number. We will also leave a message if you don’t answer.)
Your order will be then forwarded to your closest branch for dispatch.
PLEASE NOTE: Some products are heavy and bulky. An additional delivery handling charge may be applicable if your order is large, or contains large items such as the larger orders or larger tables. Please advise us at checkout if you do not have a forklift on site or require help to unload. One of our friendly team will be in touch to discuss freight with you if need be.
WE WILL CALL YOU: Once you have placed your order on the website, our customer care team will call to confirm delivery instructions. (The call will be from an 08 9436 8570 number, so please accept the number. We will also leave a message if you don’t answer.)
Is everything in stock at the time of order?
Don’t you hate buying a chair or table and then being lied to about when it will be delivered? What a ludicrous waste of everyone’s time. Our aim is to have plenty of stock of everything at all times.
However please appreciate that stock quantities can change dramatically by the hour. Joe can call and order 40 chairs for his new bar, we will do everything possible to secure your stock. Sometimes stock is transferred from another branch which may mean a longer delivery time. We will also endeavor to keep you updated with your order.
Can I exchange an item that was purchased online?
Sure, just call or email customercare@brayco.com.au as soon as possible, we will be happy to help.
An exchange may incur a restocking fee – please ensure the item/s are in their originally condition and packaging.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Sure, just contact us through the online chat or email customercare@brayco.com.au as soon as possible, we will be happy to help.
Please note we aim to dispatch your items as quickly as possible, so we will not be able to make any changes to your order if it has already been dispatched.
Will you hold a price for me?
We’ll try. As an annoying result of a wildly fluctuating Australian Dollar and raw material prices, combined with shipping charges that change weekly, Chairforce reserves the right to change prices at any time.
- Delivering FAQs
Does Chairforce deliver to my location?
Yep, let us quote to get your item anywhere around this big brown land.
Give us a call or use the online calculator to see if your postcode will supply an instant price.
Due to the variety and range of size of our orders, most regional postcodes need to be quoted separately in order to give you the best price possible.
You can place an order online using the pending quote option, then select pay by phone.
We’ll contact you with a firm quote.

What is the standard delivery time?
All orders are dispatched from your nearest warehouse within 2 business days. From here shipping times can vary depending on your location and carrier. Orders to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Metro will generally arrive within a few days.
Regional areas, ACT & NT will take longer – from 4 to 14 days depending on where you are.
Can I organise my own courier?
No problem, simply provide your details at checkout and we will be in touch to confirm the rest.
Will you take my furniture upstairs?
Unfortunately no, our couriers only deliver to the ground floor.
If you require furniture taken up stairs please let us know and we will do our best to co-ordinate with the courier.
How much do you charge for delivery?
If you are within the Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Queensland or Melbourne metro area, delivery starts at only $55. (Less if you’re just ordering a spare part like a chair stopper).
Prices for country vary greatly so enter your details into the calculator on the product page to see if you can view an instant price. If we cannot provide a price through this website you can submit your order and we will call you with a quote.

How can I track my delivery?
Tracking from metro deliveries is via text. Regional are hit and miss unfortunately. Startrack send emails. If we get tracking links from the courier we will share them with you. And we are notified if something hasn’t arrived within 7 days.
Can I add delivery instructions?
Please do! We love it when you give us lots of information for delivery. Once your order is placed we will call to confirm your delivery instructions, so look out for an 08 number as our online team is based in Perth.
What happens if I don’t need my order delivered straight away?
No problem – many customers are ordering furniture for a commercial fit out and do not require delivery straight away. We can hold paid orders for up to one month after payment has been received.
- Warranty & Returns
Do Chairforce products come with a full Manufacturer’s Warranty?
All our items are guaranteed for 12 months against faulty manufacturing but for (hopefully) obvious reasons we don’t offer warranties against misuse and abuse; and normal wear and tear. So, if a chair has an adjustable foot that doesn’t adjust, we’ll happily fix it or replace the entire item until you are super satisfied. But if the same chair was thrown off a third storey balcony and smashed, then sadly we cannot help. We will offer sympathy however! If you are confused about this, please give us a call to clarify or read our policies.
View our warranty here.
This is in addition to any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law.
Can I void my warranty?
Yes. Drilling, glueing, cutting or making other modifications will void your warranty. If you mistreat your item, for example – throw your chair off a third storey balcony and smash it, then sadly we cannot help. If you are confused about this, please give us a call to clarify or read our policies.

- Product FAQs
Is assembly required?
On a few items, some assembly is required.
We supply clear instructions which are available with the product and also on the website product page. If you’re having problems, please just give us a call.
Do you assemble?
Sadly, no.
Can you provide additional dimensions?
Of course. If a dimension you need isn’t on this website, start an online chat or contact your local branch and we’ll get what you need.
What is PU? Is PU genuine leather?
PU stands for Polyurethane, a plastic leather-like polymer derived from polyurethane (a type of plastic). Polyurethane leather was created to have the same look and feel of leather, but without using actual animal skin and harsh chemicals. Unlike real leather, it doesn’t need to be tanned. The tanning of leather can create considerable pollution from the chemicals used to create it, such as chromium and ammonia.
PU leather rarely requires less maintenance than real leather, and can usually just be wiped down with a damp microfiber cloth and dryed with another microfiber cloth.
Are the colours shown an accurate representation?
We try our best to present colours on our website as close to the actual product. However we cannot control individual computer or phone settings, so if you are looking for an exact colour please come and see them in our showroom.
All products in the Chairforce range are on display for you to touch, feel, sit and rearrange.
I am looking for a product to suit a specific need, but where do I start?
We get asked this a lot and love to help you find just the right product. Please call to see if we can help. Or drop in.
What is the difference between kitchen and bar stools?
Our kitchen stools are designed with a seat height of 65cm, suited for sitting at a standard residential kitchen bench and Chairforce kitchen counter height tables.
Bar stools are manufactured with a standard seat height of 75cm, catering ideally to commercial venues with bench heights at 100cm or higher.
What if the product I wish to purchase is not in stock?
We hope this doesn’t happen. But, please contact one of our friendly customer care team either via email, live chat or calling 08 9436 8570 and they will be able to confirm the estimated date of arrival.
