Loose / Non-Fixed Seat Description for the Web

Here at The Granada Theatre we have a few seats that are non-traditional "loose" seats of varying heights and we're trying to find a way to describe them on our website that doesn't confuse patrons or come across as a "broken" seat, and we're finding it a little difficult.  Has anyone out there come across this issue, and if so may I ask what the solution was?

Internally we've always referred to them as "Loose Seats" but patrons are often confused and think that they are broken.  Then we pondered "Non-Fixed Theater Seat" but that too can carry the suggestion that the seats are broken.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

  • Christopher,
    
    What about "free-standing seats"? That wouldn't give the impression that the seat is broken, only that it's not bolted to other seats (or the floor).

  • How about removable? Or folding seats?

    What about incorporating the word "chair" instead of seat?  From suggestions already - "Removable Chair", "Free-Standing Chair", or something like "Individual Chair".

    For me, Chair just seems to have more of an individual or moveable feel to it than Seat.

  • Thanks, everyone for your input.  So far it looks like "Free-Standing Chair" might be the way to go.  Who knew describing a seat could be so tricky!

     

    Cheers!
