Best Upholstered Folding Chair for 480 lbs Capacity, Graystone/Gray (Carton of 4)

The 2300 Series steel frame folding chair from National Public Seating features a premium upholstered fabric seat and backrest, designed for temporary seating and efficient storage. With its gray, 18-gauge, 7/8-inch tubular steel "Y-frame" structure, this chair boasts remarkable weight support, holding up to 480 pounds of static weight and 300 pounds of drop weight, meeting the ANSI/BIFMA standards.

The chair's stability is enhanced by three double-riveted leg cross braces, two on the back legs and one on the front, as well as double hinges on each side. The upholstered seat and backrest are crafted for comfort, with 1-1/4-inch thick, 0.9-pound density foam in the seat and 1.2-pound density foam in the backrest, all covered in fabric that has been abrasion tested to withstand 30,000 double rubs, ensuring durability even under heavy use.

To protect the chair's appearance, the fabric has been treated with Scotchgard stain-resistant and water-repellent finishes. The seat's rounded, "waterfall" front edge helps reduce pressure on the back of the user's knees. The steel frame is powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and the replaceable polypropylene glides help protect floor surfaces. Plastic plugs at the top of the back legs have a slot-shaped design to hold the frame and add stability, matching the frame color.

When folded, this chair fits snugly against others of its kind, allowing for efficient storage and making it suitable for various institutional temporary seating applications. The chair is certified by Materials Analytical Services (MAS) as low in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, meeting the criteria defined by the USGBC's LEED standards, ANSI/BIFMA X7.1-2011, ANSI/BIFMA e3-2011e Furniture Sustainability Standard - Section 7.6.1, and the MAS Certified Green program. Additionally, the upholstery meets the flammability requirements of the California Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Technical Bulletin 117 (TB117).
