Stacking & Folding Chairs — Expert Answer
How ergonomic are stacking chairs for extended sitting periods?
Standard stacking chairs are designed for events and meetings (1-3 hours) rather than all-day desk work. Most lack lumbar support, adjustable height, and armrest positioning of ergonomic task chairs. For 4+ hour sessions, upholstered stacking chairs with contoured backs and adequate seat cushioning are noticeably more comfortable than flat polypropylene shells. If stacking chairs are the only seating available for extended programs (all-day conferences, daylong training sessions), choose models with the deepest seat padding and most back contour available. For daily work seating, a proper ergonomic task chair is the appropriate choice. FindOfficeFurniture.com - 888-719-4960.
