Chair Materials
Stack chairs are built with a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood.

Most stack chair frames are made with steel or aluminum. These are the most popular choices for high-traffic, high-energy groups and seating areas. Durable metal frames can support more weight and take more punishment than wood or plastic-framed stack chairs. They stand up well to the dings, scratches, and dents associated with stacking and storage.
Many metal-framed chairs feature seats and backs of the same material. Heavy-duty folding chairs are often made entirely from metal. If your chair needs to survive a high-pressure environment like a gym, sporting event, or school assembly, all-metal folding chairs may be the best choice.

Plastic Stack Chairs might not quite stack up to Metal Stack Chairs in overall toughness, but they more than make up for it in style and spirit. Plastic Stack Chairs resist stains and wear and tear, making them a wonderful choice for waiting rooms, lunchrooms, assembly halls, and meeting areas. Because plastic is such a versatile material, plastic stack chairs are available in an amazing array of colors and styles. Choose from hard plastic chairs, shaped plastic shell chairs, or chairs featuring softer flexible plastic.
The most elusive of the Stack Chair species, Wood Stack Chairs give you all the benefits of standard stack chairs in an elevated style appropriate for the home, library, church, or conference room. Wood Stack Chairs have a natural look that conveys warmth and personality. These chairs are perfect for putting your guests at ease.
Padding and Upholstery

Keep your group focused on what’s important by providing stylish, comfortable seating. Padded chair seats and backs relieve pressure on the legs, shoulders, and lumbar region.
Adequate chair padding can prevent the gradual increase of fatigue and fidgeting caused by discomfort. This is precisely the reason the Banquet Chair and Church Chair categories primarily feature seating with amply padded seats and backs—both categories of Stack Chairs are designed to accommodate the needs of guests who will be seated for longer periods of time.
Every Padded Stack Chair is upholstered in your choice of fabric, vinyl, or leather. Vinyl upholstery is durable and wipes clean of most stains, but isn’t breathable. Fabric upholstery breathes well and is offered in the widest variety of colors and styles, but is less durable and offers varying levels of stain resistance. Leather upholstery is beautiful and breathable, but requires regular cleaning to keep it in top condition.
Special Features
Stack Chairs are available with special features and options:
Ganging Brackets fasten to either side of a Stack Chair, allowing you to hook together rows of chairs for easy arrangement and crowd control.
Bookracks and Underseat Bookracks are baskets or shelves that attach or are built directly into a Stack Chair. This feature is especially useful to church groups and groups incorporating literature into their meetings.
Casters are wheels attached to the legs of your Stack Chairs. They keep chairs mobile, and are a nice addition to a chair that may do double-duty at desks and in groups.
Stack Chair Dollies are wheeled carts or platforms weighted and designed to move large stacks of chairs effortlessly.
Stack Chair Trucks are hand trucks modified for use with Stack Chairs. These chair trucks feature two or four-wheeled bases and a handlebar for improved maneuvering, and can provide a nice alternative to Stack Chair Dollies.
Before you make your final purchase, remember to look for great specials like volume discounts. If you have a large hall or auditorium to fill, saving a few dollars per chair can easily add up to thousands. Also be sure to look for special shopper rewards like Free Shipping and Free Chair Dollies, which can save you even more.
