Please take your seats

Hi

Would you say that both sentences are equally natural?

Please take your seats.

Please take your chairs.

Thanks,

Tom

If the intended meaning is "Please sit down", then no. "Take your seats" is a stock expression. "Take your chairs" is intelligible by analogy I suppose, but isn't a standard form of words in my experience.
