Can stacking chairs substitute for dedicated guest chairs in private offices?

Stacking chairs can serve as practical guest chairs in private offices when space is at a premium — a single stacking chair or two chairs stacked in a corner takes minimal space when the office is not hosting visitors. For occasional guest use, even a lightweight padded stacking chair is perfectly appropriate. However, for offices where guests are frequent or the professional image of the space matters, a dedicated upholstered guest chair with a higher-quality frame and finish is more appropriate. The difference in appearance and comfort between a guest chair ($150–$400) and a stacking chair ($50–$150) is noticeable to visitors.
