Folding Chairs

Executive Summary by Alison Cole

Folding chairs are commonly made of plastic or steel. Deck chair, Glastonbury chair, lawn chair, and director's chair are included in the category of folding chairs.

Most folding chairs have same structural features. Organizations choose folding chairs to furnish their buildings, as benches or seats are expensive and take up space. Folding chairs come in different finishes and styles including wooden and cloth, steel, padded and unpadded, and decorative and functional. Certain companies also make customer specific folding chairs.

Standard, plastic, padded, reinforced, and desktop are some of the different types of folding chairs. Standard folding chairs are durable and economical. Plastic folding chairs have similar design as that of standard chairs and are made of polypropylene plastic. Padded types have vinyl-upholstered seats and are available in different colors. Desktop folding chairs are ideal for limited spaces such as classrooms and small halls that conduct seminars. Folding chairs can be bought or rented from hardware stores and office supply stores. Before buying folding chairs, always check for stability and strength.

Metal Folding Chairs

Metal folding chairs are a perfect choice for your group seating needs. Metal folding chairs are more durable than plastic and glass folding chairs. Aluminum folding chairs are generally lighter than all-steel chairs.

Metal folding chairs came into vogue in the 20th century. Metal folding chairs generally feature a front cross-brace, contoured seat pan, embossed hinges, plastic glides, and U-shaped leg braces. A wide range of metal folding chair models such as basic, standard, triple brace, and premium are available today. Metal folding chairs with triple base feature double hinges, double contoured back, 18-gauge tubing, back leg stability plugs, cross braces, and non-marring glide tips are very common. When buying a metal folding chair make sure to ask about the measurements, tubing and hinges styles. Remember that metal folding chairs with simple design are more stable. As metal chair fashions change rapidly, an upgradeable metal folding chair is undoubtedly the best bet.
