How to Buy Stackable Office Chairs

We recently had to look at buying stacking office chairs for our church's fellowship hall. At first we looked locally, at the big-box office supply chains. Then we started looking online.

We were pretty surprised at how expensive many of the chairs were, even for the 'basic' models.

We eventually found a model that would work for us. We needed the kind that would stack 20 high, because we had only a small space to put the chairs when we needed to clear the room entirely. (Some of the chairs we looked at only stacked 4 high, and would not have saved us enough room.)

Then we ran into a problem, which was explained at http://stackingofficechairs.net. Namely, the weight of the stacked chairs. We had forgotten to budget for dollies to move the chairs in a full stack. Uh-oh. Now we have to put the chairs where we want them and stack them, instead of piling them up where they are and moving them to the storage space.

We will remedy that soon, but it's something to consider when you're looking at these types of stackable chairs.
