Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
What arm pad options are available for armed stacking chairs?
Armed stacking chairs typically offer: hard plastic arm pads (most common - durable, easy to clean, no upkeep), upholstered arm pads (soft fabric or vinyl over foam padding - more comfortable but show wear faster), and wood arm pads (premium look for hospitality-oriented spaces). Hard plastic pads are standard for commercial use because they don't absorb moisture, don't stain, and survive the stack-unstack cycle without damage. Upholstered arm pads are appropriate for formal event seating where premium comfort is valued over longevity. For churches, hotels, and banquet facilities that want a more refined look, upholstered arms are a visible upgrade. FindOfficeFurniture.com - 888-719-4960.
