Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
Does the back height of a stacking chair matter for comfort?
It makes a real difference for longer sessions. Low-back stacking chairs (back top at roughly 16–18 inches above the seat) stack the most compactly but offer minimal lumbar support. Mid-back versions (22–24 inches above seat) add meaningful comfort for seating that runs 60–90 minutes. Full-back chairs (28+ inches) are the most comfortable but stack fewer high. For training rooms, conference setups, or church seating used for extended periods, mid or full back is worth it. FindOfficeFurniture.com lists back height in all specs — call 888-719-4960.
