Nesting Chairs

Nesting chairs give your training room, conference center, or multi-use space a stack-and-roll chair that nests under each other for compact storage between sessions. You get the seating you need during classes plus a tight footprint when the room reconfigures. A great pick for venues that flip between layouts.

Most nesting chairs run 20 to 22 inches wide at the seat, 18 to 22 inches deep, with a seat height of 17 to 18 inches off the floor. The back runs 14 to 18 inches tall above the seat. Pull out a tape measure on your training table and pick the chair count against the table edge length.

You can grab a 4-leg base (stack-only program, the wallet-friendly pick) or a sled base with 2 casters at the rear and glides at the front (stack-and-roll program, the most common training room pick). The sled-with-casters lets you tip the chair and roll it across the room without lifting.

You can grab a mesh back (cool airflow, modern look) or an upholstered back (warmer feel, traditional training room). Mesh is the right pick for warm training rooms and shared-use venues. Upholstered is the right fit for executive training and corporate development programs.

You can stack 4 to 8 chairs deep on a wheeled dolly between training sessions. The chairs nest into each other in a vertical zone (typically 36 to 48 inches tall) along a storage wall. Have a buddy ready when you build the stack — loaded dollies shift if you're not careful.

Yes — you can grab a tablet arm that pivots into position over the lap, giving you a 12 by 18-inch writing surface for note-taking during training. Pick left-hand or right-hand tablet against the occupant's writing hand. Tablet-arm versions are the right fit when your training room runs paper-based exercises.

You can grab fabric (warm, wallet-friendly), mesh (cool airflow), or vinyl (waterproof, healthcare and education training rooms). Vinyl is the right pick when the training room needs daily wipe-down. Fabric is the right pick for low-traffic corporate training.

Nesting chairs are built to a 250 to 300 pound rated capacity standard. The 4-leg or sled base and the seat-and-back shell test together against the BIFMA X5.1 standard. Check the rated capacity against your largest occupant — the warranty stays clean that way.

Commercial nesting chairs built to the BIFMA X5.1 testing standard for training-room duty carry a 10 to 12-year warranty in the industry against consumer-grade chairs at 1 to 5 years, but we offer a Free Lifetime Warranty unless specifically noted. The seat, the back, the frame welds, the casters, and the upholstery are all covered.

Yes — leave a 30 by 48 inch clear floor zone at one or more positions around the training table for a wheelchair user. The training table apron clearance at 27 inches accommodates the wheelchair. The other nesting chairs around the table stay at the standard spec.
