Editor's Notes
October 22, 2020:
For those that own a party venue, or just need to host a large crowd, seating many people can oftentimes be a hassle. If you're after something a little more robust than a stacking chair but not as permanent as an armchair, these stackable models provide you with the seats you need and won't take up an exorbitant amount of space.
If you're searching for a traditional chair that gets the job done, check out the Jaxpety Wedding which can be stacked thirty high with the addition of a dolly. For people who own a restaurant or want to have some seating options out on their patio, the Flash Furniture CH-31230 and the Hon Basyx Prodigy are worth looking into. The former includes drainage holes in the seat, allowing water to pass through without collecting and causing weather damage, and the latter is UV resistant so it won't fade in the sun. It's also made from one solid piece of material, making it quite easy to wipe clean with a cloth.
The National Public Seating NPS 9100 and the Flash Furniture Hercules are extremely sturdy as the latter can hold up to 500 pounds. These would be ideal for spaces where the chairs will be used frequently, as they should last you a long time. Keep in mind however that although they do stack, they are rather heavy, often requiring a dolly of some sort to transport them in large quantities.
Finally, the Amazon Basics Classroom would be great in a classroom setting as they have different lengths of legs to choose from, and several fun colors that kids will love. They are also quite durable and can withstand the wear and tear a rambunctious young one can sometimes give them.
