Plan Smarter with Posh Rentals Ventures
In Nigeria, we take our events seriously. From owambes and destination weddings to corporate mixers and private birthdays, one thing that often gets overlooked — but makes a big impact — is seating.
At Posh Rentals Ventures, we’ve seen firsthand how the wrong chair decisions can affect guest comfort, décor consistency, and even event flow. Whether you’re hosting 50 or 500 guests, renting the right chairs — and avoiding common pitfalls — will make a world of difference.
Here are five chair rental mistakes you should avoid when planning your next Nigerian event:
Mistake 1: Waiting Too Long to Book
Why it’s risky:
Popular event dates in Lagos (especially weekends, festive periods, or “Ember” months) are always high demand. Chiavari chairs, ghost chairs, and lounge pieces are often booked out weeks in advance.
✅ Posh Rentals Tip:
Book your chairs at least 3–4 weeks before your event, especially if you’re particular about style or color. Don’t assume “they’ll always be available.”
🚫 Mistake 2: Choosing Style Over Comfort (Or Vice Versa)
Why it’s risky:
Some chairs may look beautiful in pictures but aren’t great for long sit-down events like traditional weddings or dinner receptions. Others may be functional but completely clash with your theme.
✅ Posh Rentals Tip:
Choose chairs that balance both aesthetics and guest comfort. For example:
- Chiavari chairs with padded cushions are elegant yet comfortable.
- Ghost chairs are modern and sleek, best for shorter seating segments or VIP tables.
- Lounge chairs and sofas are great for cocktail or waiting areas, not for the entire guest list.
🚫 Mistake 3: Not Matching Chairs to the Venue or Floor Surface
Why it’s risky:
Certain chairs — like plastic chairs with cloth covers — don’t sit well on sandy or grassy terrain, especially for outdoor events. Others may sink into the ground or scratch polished floors if they don’t have padding.
✅ Posh Rentals Tip:
When you rent from Posh Rentals, we ask about your venue in advance. This helps us recommend chair types best suited to grass, carpet, tiles, or ballroom surfaces — and bring floor protectors or risers if needed.
🚫 Mistake 4: Overlooking Color Coordination
Why it’s risky:
Imagine a soft pastel-themed bridal shower with harsh red or blue chairs — it instantly disrupts your theme and your photos.
✅ Posh Rentals Tip:
Choose from our variety of neutral tones — gold, silver, white, clear (ghost), or beige. We’ll also help you coordinate sashes, florals, or chair covers to match your colour palette.
🚫 Mistake 5: Forgetting About Setup and Layout
Why it’s risky:
Improper chair spacing can lead to crowding, blocked aisles, or awkward photo angles — especially for tight event spaces.
✅ Posh Rentals Tip:
Our team doesn’t just drop off chairs — we handle setup and advise on the best seating layout based on your number of guests and available space. Whether it’s rows for a church-style wedding or circular setups for a garden party, we’ve got you covered.
Bonus: Want to Add Variety?
Some of our clients make their events even more memorable by mixing different chair styles:
- Ghost chairs at the couple’s table or VIP section
- Chiavari chairs for general guests
- Lounge furniture near the bar or entrance
The effect is layered, luxe, and photo-worthy — without being over the top.
