Introduction
When selecting auditorium seating with writing tablet or without, many clients are unsure which option best suits their needs. The choice is actually simple: if your venue is used for meetings, lectures, or academic conferences, then adding writing tablets provides great convenience for note-taking. However, if your venue is purely for entertainment—such as cinemas, theaters, or concert halls—then you may not need writing tablets at all.
📌 For a comprehensive guide to our auditorium seating models, materials, and accessory configurations, please read our article Auditorium Seating Types and Materials.
Types of Auditorium Seating With Writing
1. Flip-Up Writing Tablet
This type of writing tablet is mainly used for economical auditorium chairs. The armrest is made of solid wood, and by flipping it open, a hidden writing tablet appears. After use, it folds neatly back into the armrest, saving space while keeping the chair elegant and simple.
2. High-End Swivel Writing Tablet
These writing tablets are supported by aluminum alloy brackets, and the tablet itself is made of PP plastic, offering a smooth and comfortable writing surface. It rotates outward for use and easily retracts when not needed, making it a popular option for premium auditorium chairs with writing tablet.
3. Rear-Mounted Writing Tablet
This style can be added to the backrest of almost any auditorium chair. Since auditorium seating is arranged row by row, people sitting in the back row can use the tablet attached to the chair in front of them. The rear-mounted tablet is larger than front-mounted ones, making it more comfortable for extended note-taking.
4. Auditorium chairs without writing tablet.
If you choose this type of auditorium chair without a writing tablet, please note that the design does not allow for installing a front-mounted writing tablet later. Therefore, if you purchase such a product and later decide you want to add a front-mounted writing tablet, it will not be possible because the structure does not support it. If you regret the decision after using the chairs for some time and want to add a writing tablet, the only option is to install a rear-mounted writing tablet.
