Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
What weight capacity should commercial stacking chairs have?
Standard commercial stacking chairs are rated for 250–300 lbs. BIFMA-certified commercial chairs are tested to 250 lbs with a 3:1 safety factor (750 lb proof load). Bariatric stacking chairs are rated for 400–800 lbs and feature wider seats, reinforced frames, and heavy-duty glides. For public assemblies, churches, or healthcare waiting areas, specify at least 300 lb capacity across all chairs.
