When looking for stackable office chairs, one will be confronted with not only an extremely diverse range of styles, but a wide range of prices. You can find large quantities of bulk, cheap chairs, for as little as $25 per chair, up through as much as $300 per chair. The difference is mainly in the quality of the construction, as well as the materials used. For example, vinyl chairs tend to be lower in price than the office chairs with cloth seats. Some of the other options that make a difference are the size of the chair, and the presence or lack of arms, or sides.
Another factor to consider when buying stacking office chairs is how high you can stack them. The whole point of buying the chairs that stack is to save space. However some models only allow you to practically stack about 4 chairs at a time. This may be sufficient for your needs, but if you are trying to put a room-full of chairs into a small side storage area, look for the models that can stack as many as 20 high. Be aware of the fact that, though it may be easy to stack the chairs that high, it may be difficult to move them once stacked. If that is the case, be sure to budget for a dolly. Some manufacturers make dollys that work specifically for their brand of chair, allowing you to keep the stacked chairs more secure (thus safer), and easily movable. These types may be referred to as "high-density" stacking office chairs.
Other options you may want to consider are the presence or absence of foot pads, or casters on the feet of the chairs, the overall weight of the chairs, and whether or not you will need to use the chairs outdoors as well as inside. You may also think about the need for cushioning.
Be sure to factor in delivery costs when you are budgeting for your chairs.
If you keep these factors in mind before you even start looking, you should be able to find the stacking office chairs that meet your needs.
