[Michlib-l] Looking for chair recommendations

Tue Jul 30 11:03:08 EDT 2024

Hi Laura!

At Otsego District Library we replaced our program room chairs with these:
https://www.bizchair.com/products/880-lb-capacity-ultra-compact-stack-chair-with-metal-frame-rut-188?variant=46308506075438
We got around 150 chairs in 2017 and haven’t had a single chair break or any problems, with all of the general public using them all the time.
I have been super happy with them and I would definitely order them again in the future.
They are lightweight and easy to stack, and have the nice handle on the top which makes moving them around your room very simple. They are plastic and easy to clean. We wanted lightweight chairs because we are constantly stacking and unstacking them.
Other Library Directors have also commented to me that they love our program room chairs for how light they are.

The dollies we got are these:

We changed out the casters to more heavy duty casters because we constantly move them. They would work as is if you are not moving them a lot but if you do a lot of rolling of the dollies like us you would want to switch out casters. It was a simple switch out by our maintenance man with some beefier casters from Home Depot.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Looking for chair recommendations

Good Afternoon,

We are currently looking to replace our Community Room chairs. Has anyone purchased chairs recently that they would recommend? Have you bought chairs we should stay away from?

We are also interested in any critique on the carts or dollies that came with the chairs.

Thank you,

Laura
