Chairs from Trident Furniture

When people say they need chairs the first words out of my mouth are "what type of chairs are you looking for" and "what is your budget". The type of chair is the first thing to consider. And then the budget. And Trident Furniture can usually find the chair you're looking for within the budget you need to accommodate.

When talking about chairs, like most things, a picture is worth 1000 words. So let's approach this by using pictures and words. The two broadest categories of chairs are stacking and folding. But there are many types of both.

Let's talk about stacking chairs first. Now of course, folding chairs can be stacked, so what were talking about are chairs that don't fold that are then stacked. Some are designed to stack 6 to 8 high and others can be stacked vertical as highs you can reach. Storage space for your chairs is one of the criteria to consider when making selection. But lets look at chairs first.

Below are Traditional Hotel Banquet Chairs. They have been around for 100+ years. They are most commonly a steel frame with a 2 inch foam seat with contract grade fabric. They can range in price from $20 to $200. And that is quite a range. The factors that influence that are what we call the "Five+ F's" Frame, Foam, Fabric, Feet, Flex and Fit & Finish. The Frame shape can vary widely. Foam can be soft or hard. Fabric can range from $5 a yard to $100 a yard. The feet can be a plug or a nickel glide. The back can flex or be rigid. They stack 7-9 high. Below are other types of "banquet style" chairs.
