Needed to purchase 40 chairs to be used for large family gatherings. Looked into both folding chairs and stackable chairs. So glad I went with this stackable chair. The chair is nice looking, is far more comfortable than a folding chair, is rated for up to 500 pounds, stores in a small space when stacked, and was priced right. It only took a week for them to be delivered so we were able to use them for our Thanksgiving get together. My family loved them.
