What is a nesting chair and how is it different from a stacking chair?

Nesting chairs are four-wheeled chairs that roll into each other horizontally, sliding in a row like shopping carts (one chair nests into the open back of the next). They are designed for quick room setup and breakdown — a row of 10 nesting chairs rolls out together and separates instantly, eliminating the lifting required for stacking. They do not typically stack vertically. Nesting chairs are popular in conference rooms and training rooms where quick reconfiguration matters. Stacking chairs stack vertically for more compact storage (less floor area required when stored).
