Premium Folding Chair with 480 lbs Capacity

The 1300 Series folding chair from National Public Seating features a sturdy steel frame and premium vinyl upholstery, making it a versatile and durable option for temporary seating applications. This chair boasts a char-blue, 18-gauge, 7/8-inch tubular steel "Y-frame" structure that supports up to 480 pounds of static weight and 300 pounds of drop weight, meeting the ANSI/BIFMA standard.

The seat and backrest are upholstered in a dark midnight blue vinyl, providing both comfort and style. The chair's design includes three double-riveted leg cross braces (two on the back legs, one on the front) and double hinges on each side, ensuring exceptional stability and durability.

The upholstery is made of 0.8mm thick, water-resistant vinyl, with 1-1/4-inch thick, 0.9-pound density foam in the seat and 1.2-pound density foam in the backrest, ensuring user comfort. The seat features a rounded, "waterfall" front edge to help reduce pressure on the back of the knees.

The steel frame is powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and the chair is equipped with replaceable polypropylene glides to protect floor surfaces. Plastic plugs at the top of the back legs have a slot-shaped design to hold the frame and add stability, with the plugs and floor glides matching the frame color.

When folded, the chair fits closely to another of its kind, allowing for efficient storage and making it suitable for institutional temporary seating applications. The chair is Materials Analytical Services (MAS) certified as low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting furniture, meeting the criteria defined by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) 2009 for Schools, LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors, ANSI/BIFMA X7.1-2011, ANSI/BIFMA e3-2011e Furniture Sustainability Standard - Section 7.6.1, and the MAS Certified Green program.

Furthermore, the upholstery meets the flammability requirements of the California Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Technical Bulletin 117 (TB117).
