Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of commercial chairs?

MityLite offers a variety of commercial chairs to suit different settings and needs:

• Banquet chairs
• Folding chairs
• Stacking chairs
• Wooden chairs
• Outdoor chairs

What is the difference between commercial chairs and residential chairs?

Commercial chairs are built to withstand heavy use in high-traffic environments like event venues, restaurants, and offices. They feature stronger frames and materials that resist wear and tear over time. Commercial-grade chairs also tend to offer additional features like stacking, folding, or ganging for easy storage and configuration. They also must be easy to sanitize and simple to keep clean.

Residential chairs are typically lighter in construction and may not hold up to the frequent or intensive use that commercial chairs can handle.

Can commercial folding chairs be used for both indoor and outdoor events?

Some commercial folding chairs are designed for both indoor and and temporary outdoor use. However, it’s important to ensure that the chair model you choose is specifically rated for outdoor use, since an unexpected rainstorm or spray from the sprinklers could cause damage to some folding chairs. With the exception of our outdoor patio furniture, none of our chairs should be left outdoors for extended periods of time or in harsh weather conditions.

How easy is it to store and transport commercial stacking or folding chairs?

MityLite stacking and folding chairs are designed for easy storage and transport. MityLite also offers chair carts and dollies, making it easy to move chairs in and out of storage or between event venues.
