What's the difference between a sled-base and 4-leg guest chair?

A sled-base chair has two continuous metal runners curving from front to back in a single arc — no individual feet — which creates a clean modern profile, distributes weight across a large footprint for stability, and stacks easily. A 4-leg chair has four individual legs like a dining chair, which tends to read as more traditional and is available in both wood and metal. Four-leg chairs are slightly less laterally stable under shifting loads. For contemporary commercial spaces with stackability requirements, sled-base is often the smarter buy.
