What weight rating should I look for in a commercial stacking chair?

Standard commercial stacking chairs are rated for 250–300 lbs, with BIFMA-certified chairs tested to 250 lbs with safety factors built in. For any public-facing venue where the general population will be seated, 300 lbs is the practical minimum. Bariatric stacking chairs with reinforced frames handle 400–800 lbs and use wider, higher-density seats. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 if bariatric capacity is a requirement.
