Recommendations for Orchestra Seats

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.

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

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?

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

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
