2. Client Needs and Challenges

This project comes from a real client in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. When they first contacted us, their auditorium was still under renovation. The main concerns were the step height design and the choice of seating model.

The client’s biggest question was about the step height. We suggested keeping it between 100–150mm, which is the normal range. However, they felt this was “too low” and worried that if the steps were not high enough, people sitting in the back rows would have a poor view of the stage—especially since the venue would sometimes be used for performances or large company meetings.

So, they asked: if the steps are built higher, would that affect the installation and use of the modular theater seating?

3. Our Solution

We gave them a detailed analysis based on their specific needs:

If they needed to install rear writing tablets, the step height should not exceed 150mm. Otherwise, people sitting in the back row will not be able to use the writing tablet on the backrest of the front row due to the huge gap.
But since the client confirmed they didn’t need writing tablets, and the auditorium would mainly be used for performances and conferences, we advised that 200mm steps were perfectly fine. This height would give better viewing angles and still not affect seating installation.

Next, we discussed the seat model options. The client didn’t have a clear idea at first, so we compared Plastic And Plywood Auditorium Seating Shells to help them decide.

Plastic shell: cost-effective and practical, but slightly weaker in load-bearing and premium appearance.
Plywood with painted finish: stronger, better load-bearing capacity, and more high-end in appearance—ideal for a multi-functional auditorium.

After our explanation, the client decided on the plywood shell seats with painted finish, combined with durable metal legs for extra stability and long lifespan. This configuration worked perfectly for the 388 modular theater seating units ordered for the project.

4. Project Outcome

Our factory completed the production within 15 days, right on schedule. The seats were shipped by full container to Ho Chi Minh City, which took about one week.

The installation team carried out the setup smoothly and later shared completion photos with us. The client was very satisfied, especially with the professional advice on step height and product selection. They commented that not only did the chairs meet their functional needs, but the entire delivery and installation process went extremely smoothly as well.

This project once again proved how our team provides practical, tailored solutions—from design guidance to production to final installation.
