Create an organised welcome area with Sophie by 9to5 Seating. The collection includes individual guest chairs, wider guest seating, connected two- and three-seat units, and backless benches. These choices help schools plan reception rooms and family waiting areas around the number of seats needed and the available wall space.

A steel frame gives the pieces a consistent appearance, while the upholstery and arm-pad options allow coordination across a larger installation. Connected models keep groups of seats together. For a smaller waiting area, individual chairs offer more freedom to adjust the layout. The bench with a centre table provides a place for shared reading material without adding a separate freestanding table.

Features and configuration options

  • Single guest chair: 25 W × 27.5 D × 34 H inches; wider guest chair: 35 W × 27.5 D × 34 H inches.
  • Two-seat units are 46 or 47.5 inches wide, depending on arm layout; the three-seat unit is 70 inches wide.
  • Benches measure 61.5 W × 23.5 D × 18 H inches, including the model with a centre table.
  • Seat height: 18 inches across the collection.
  • Black or silver frames, compatible upholstery and arm-pad finishes; table laminate appears only for the table-equipped bench.
  • Capacity varies by model: 350–750 lb overall. Check the chosen model’s specification.

Select single-tone or two-toned upholstery on supported seats with backs; benches use one upholstery selection. The manufacturer provides a 12-year limited structural and mechanical warranty for qualifying multi-shift use, with separate upholstery coverage. Configure the pieces and add them to your school’s quote request.

Its current LEVEL certifications are active through May 2027, with products achieving LEVEL 2 and select collections achieving LEVEL 3.

The company also focuses on reducing material use and waste, improving recyclability, designing products for easier disassembly and recycling packaging materials from its manufacturing operations.

Certifications, recycled content and environmental attributes vary by individual product.

Warranty & Support

Most 9to5 Seating collections are backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty for the original purchaser under standard single-shift commercial use. This coverage applies to qualifying structural and mechanical components, with certain collections and specialty products carrying different warranty periods.

Upholstery fabrics, mesh and foam are generally covered for five years against qualifying wear and deterioration under normal use. Certain collections, heavy-duty models and specialty products have their own warranty terms and conditions.

9to5 Seating also provides customer care and an online warranty claim process for product or component concerns. Warranty coverage, weight limits, available options and product specifications should be confirmed for the individual product at the time of purchase.
