What is the weight capacity of a conference chair?

Standard commercial conference chairs are rated for 250–300 lbs. Heavy-duty (bariatric) conference chairs accommodate 400–500 lbs. BIFMA-certified conference chairs are tested to 300 lbs for standard models. For mixed-capacity conference rooms, it is prudent to specify 300 lb rated chairs throughout rather than mixing standard and heavy-duty. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, all chair specs include BIFMA load ratings — call 1-800-460-0858.
