Recommendations for Orchestra Seats

[stagebuilder]

Hello All,

I need to purchase about 40 new seats for musicians. Ideally black fabric, stackable, and durable. This is for a union roadhouse and the musicians usually will be union musicians. I already have a quote request into a Wenger distributor. Does anyone have any other good suggestions? Cost is a factor (when is it not?) but I don't want to get stuff I will be needing to replace in a year.

I would look for "banquet chairs" and pick some you like the looks of.

Wenger is still a preferred vendor. Our orchestra players seem to like them, especially the Cello Chairs.

I agree with Tim. Our Wenger chairs and other products are well-liked and are holding up great for us.

How well do they stack? The PDF tear sheet I got from the distributor says they chairs stack about 4 high, 6 high on a separately purchased dolly! Do they really only stack that much?

The Wenger orchestra chairs we have in my facility stack 10 high on the Wenger dolly.

Ours go 10 high. I think we put 11 Cello chairs on 1 dolly.

Same with ours. The hard plastic one can go 18 high.

I have 85 Wenger musician chairs on 5 carts. Thats 17 chairs per cart. Yeah the cart says 10, but they have held up for almost 20 years like that. I will be purchasing a few more chairs in the future and I might add a rack of the cello chairs to my inventory.

And in almost 20 years of mostly kids usage with some professional, I only have one chair out of commision, the seat pan screw lugs broke off. I'd stick with Wenger

Not sure if they sell the chair stacking cart separately, it's worth it.
