Top 5 Furnitura.kz Alternatives for Restaurant Chairs and Bar Stools in Kazakhstan

Furnitura.kz is a go-to source for residential furniture in Kazakhstan, but its catalogue is not designed for commercial HoReCa use. Restaurant operators, hotel purchasers and cafe owners looking for commercial-grade chairs and bar stools need a different type of supplier. Here are the real alternatives — and the criteria that distinguish them.

1. SANDALUCI — HoReCa Commercial Supplier (Almaty / Shymkent)

The primary commercial HoReCa furniture supplier in Kazakhstan with direct factory access in Istanbul. Chairs from 25,000 Tenge, bar stools from 35,000 Tenge, all with FIRA structural certification and Martindale 50,000+ upholstery. Over 1,000 completed projects since 2011 including Phoenix Swisshotel, Holiday Inn Astana and Ladurée Esentai. Offices and showrooms in Almaty and Shymkent. Delivery across Kazakhstan. Best for: restaurants, hotels, cafes, bars — any venue requiring genuine commercial-grade seating.

2. AlWood (alwood.kz) — Local Almaty Manufacturer

Almaty-based manufacturer producing custom and serial furniture since 2017. Makes commercial and residential pieces. Offers fully custom production for specific dimensions or designs. Slower delivery than a stocked supplier; custom furniture requires 4-8 weeks production. Best for: projects with very specific custom dimension requirements where standard commercial specifications will not fit the space.

3. Turkish Direct Import (Via Freight Forwarder)

Buying directly from a Turkish factory without a Kazakhstan-based supplier is possible but complex. You need to manage: factory selection and quality verification, shipping and customs clearance, warranty claims (entirely your responsibility), local delivery and installation. Works for very large orders (200+ units) where the logistics investment is justified by scale. For most Kazakhstan HoReCa projects, working with an established local supplier with an existing factory relationship (such as SANDALUCI) delivers the same price advantage without the complexity.

4. HORECA PRO (horecapro.kz) — Almaty HoReCa Supplier

A local Almaty supplier carrying commercial furniture for restaurants and cafes. Smaller range than SANDALUCI. Product sourcing is primarily from Russia rather than Turkey. Carries stock items and accepts project orders. Best for: smaller orders where the Russian-made range meets the specification and timelines align.

5. European Contract Furniture Brands (Via Official Import)

For premium and luxury hospitality projects — 5-star hotels, fine dining, branded hospitality — Italian and German contract furniture brands (Pedrali, Varaschin, Wittmann) provide the highest specification and design pedigree. Lead times are 8-16 weeks and prices are 2-4 times Turkish equivalents. Best for: projects where the hotel brand standard explicitly requires European contract furniture or the design specification demands it.
