What materials are guest chair frames typically made from?

Most commercial guest chair frames are steel tube — available in chrome, powder-coat, or painted finish, durable enough for high-traffic environments, and the most cost-effective structural option. Aluminum frames are lighter and work well in contemporary designs. Wood frames bring a traditional warmth appropriate for executive offices and lounge applications. Frame gauge (wall thickness) is the quality differentiator in steel frames: 12–14 gauge is commercial grade; thinner gauges are residential grade.
