Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
For quick room setup, are nesting chairs or stacking chairs more efficient?
For quick room setup and breakdown, nesting chairs are more efficient when rolling multiple chairs together: a row of 10 nesting chairs can be rolled to position and spread out in about 30 seconds (similar to expanding an accordion), without individual lifting. Stacking chairs require picking up and placing each chair individually (though dollies reduce the travel time). Nesting chairs are faster for daily reconfiguration in training rooms; stacking chairs are faster when a large quantity needs compact storage (stacking allows more chairs per square foot of storage than nesting). For multi-purpose rooms reconfigured multiple times daily, nesting chairs typically win on efficiency. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries both nesting and stacking chair options — call 1-800-460-0858.
