Stacking Chairs

If your School or Village Hall is seeking an alternative to folding chairs, the most common are upholstered banquet chairs and Plastic / Poly stacking chairs. This type of stacking chair is widely considered to be more comfortable than a folding chair, as manufacturers do not need to include any moving parts in the chair design.

Comfortable stacking chairs very popular with Hotels and Community Centres. Stacking chairs are typically 500mm wide by 550mm deep and will stack ten chairs high. As such, in the same space that you would store 48 of our most popular folding chairs, you could store around 60 stacking chairs.

Notes

Folding chairs without suitable trolleys almost never works. Stacking chair dimensions should be checked against your precise chair model.
