Choosing The Best Stacking Chair For Your Needs
Stacking chairs have been around for years but you still probably don’t own very many of them. They have traditionally been reserved for large gatherings. When you think of stacks of chairs, you probably envision a large meeting or conference room that seats hundreds, if not thousands, of people.
This is probably the most popular use for stacking chairs and, to tell the truth, these types of situations account for the vast majority of stacking chair sales. But more and more people are buying them for their own personal use.
If you have entertain frequently, or have more guests at one time than you have seating for, you will appreciate having a stack of chairs readily available to ensure that your guests are comfortable. By their very nature, these chairs are easy to store in a small space. You can stack half a dozen or more in just a couple of square feet in your garage, ready to bring out when you need them.

For use inside your house, you probably won’t want to use the plastic chairs that are so popular for outdoor use. The indoor versions typically have a metal frame made out of square tubing, with upholstered backs and seats. Heavy-duty tweed-like fabric is very common in these types of chairs, as is a vinyl that looks like leather. They won’t be the most comfortable seats in the house, but they aren’t nearly as bad as sitting on those folding metal chairs that so many large meeting halls use.
Having a stack of extra chairs stashed away in the garage is an easy way to always be prepared when an unexpectedly large number of people come to visit. And because they use more vertical space than floor space, you don’t need to dedicate a large area to their storage.
If your extra guests will be outdoors, you have more choices than ever when it comes to stacking chairs. The market has exploded with different styles and colors. And as more manufacturers have started to offer them, the prices have come down dramatically.
Outdoor stacking chairs are typically made of resin or plastic, both of which are easy to mold into different shapes. In addition to numerous new styles, your color choices are practically unlimited these days. In the past you had a choice between white and gray. Today, you’ll find a hundred different colors offered, although probably not all at the same store. But as you shop around, you will see bright primary colors, red, yellow and blue, side by side with neon green and fluorescent orange. Patio furniture no longer has to be dull. You can create a party atmosphere on your deck just by adding brightly colored chairs.
Whether you are buying your stacking chairs to be used indoors or out, you should be aware that they usually have a weight limit. Chairs that are intended for children may have a limit of 60 lbs or less. Many plastic outdoor chairs have a 220 lb weight limit. The ones that are rated for heavier people can cost a bit more, but it is a one time expense, and much better than to risk having one of your guests break a lightweight chair and possibly injure themselves, so do yourself a favor and find out the weight limit before you make your purchase.
