What is the difference between a sled base and a 4-leg guest chair?

A sled base guest chair has two continuous metal runners that curve from the front legs to the rear legs in a single piece — creating a clean, modern profile without individual feet. It distributes weight across a larger footprint, resists tipping, and is easy to stack. A 4-leg guest chair has four individual legs, similar to a dining chair — often more traditional in appearance and available in wood or metal. 4-leg chairs are slightly less stable under lateral forces.
