Looking for the perfect stacking chairs in New Zealand? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re kitting out a community hall for a big event, setting up a classroom where kids can move and learn, or furnishing a conference room that needs a tidy finish at the end of the day, the right chairs make all the difference. It’s not just about somewhere to sit, it’s about hard-wearing build that copes with daily use, comfy seats that help everyone stay attentive, and smart designs that make stacking and storing a breeze.

We’ve hand-picked a wide range of options to suit Kiwi businesses, schools and venues. From robust plastic shells you can rinse down after a busy day to stylish upholstered seats for a touch of class, we’ve got you covered. We know you care about weight limits, cleaning ease and stack height, so our collection of stackable chairs and the filter options will help you find the right chairs for you.

Stacking chairs are a no-brainer for any space that needs to work hard and then clear out fast: they tuck neatly into a corner or cupboard, often a dozen high, in under a minute, you can lift and shift entire rows without special equipment (or wheel them on a handy trolley), and they adapt to classrooms, community halls or boardrooms without the need for multiple chair types. Plus, they’re built tough to withstand constant handling, easy to wipe clean, and one reliable model usually saves you money per seat compared with buying fixed-base chairs for each occasion.

Most stacking chairs are made to withstand high use. Stacking chairs made out of plastic, steel or aluminium are very low maintenance. They can be easily wiped cleaned and some can be washed clean. Upholstered fabric or vinyl stacking chairs require more care to maintain and clean. Consider how your chairs will be used when choosing the build material of your stacking chairs.

Yes they can - but only those clearly marked for outdoor use. These outdoor chairs will be indicated on the product listing pages. Outdoor stacking chairs will usually be made of plastic which makes them suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Use the search filters to limit products to outdoor suited chairs only.

It depends on the design of the chair, but most stackable chairs can be safely stacked between 6 and 10 high. Some lighter plastic models can go higher, while heavier or upholstered chairs may have a lower stacking limit.

We recommend checking the product details on each chair’s page, as the safe stacking height is usually set by the manufacturer. If you’re stacking chairs for storage, it’s a good idea to stack them on a level surface and avoid going too high if the chairs will be moved often or stored where people walk past.

For larger quantities or regular setup and pack-down, a stacking trolley can make things a lot easier and safer to handle.

If you’re unsure or need advice based on your space or storage setup, feel free to get in touch, we’re happy to help.

Linkable chairs are stackable or event-style chairs that come with built-in clips or brackets so you can connect them side by side. This keeps rows neat, evenly spaced, and in place. This is especially useful for large gatherings, conferences, auditoriums, or anywhere you're setting up chairs in rows.

You’ll often see linkable chairs used in schools, halls, churches, or function venues where chairs need to stay aligned and meet safety or spacing requirements.

Do you need them? It depends. If you're setting up rows of chairs regularly and want everything to stay in place (without gaps appearing every time someone stands up), linkable chairs can make your setup faster and more professional. If you’re using chairs more casually, or in small groups, you probably don’t need this feature.

Not sure which type suits your space? Let us know what you’re planning to use them for and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Yes, we do. We stock a range of chairs that are well-suited for conference rooms, meeting spaces, and more formal or polished venues. These include options with padded seats, fabric or vinyl finishes, and sleek frames that look great in professional settings.

If you're setting up a space where comfort and appearance matter, like a boardroom, event venue, or reception area, we’ve got styles that strike the right balance between practical and presentable.

If you’re after something specific or want help matching chairs to your space or budget, just get in touch. We’re happy to help you find the right fit or look at custom made options.

Most stacking chairs can be stacked 6 to 12 high, depending on the model. Other models will only stack fewer chairs while other lighter ones may go higher. Check the product details for advice on specific stacking chairs.

Most do. A majority of our stacking chairs come fully assembled ready to go. However, there are others that do require some assembly. The product pages will list whether the stacking chairs you're interested in require assembly.

A majority of our stacking chairs do have armrests but some don't. The models with armrests will almost always be fixed so they can be stacked easily.

Yes you can. The stacking chairs will usually be situated in Auckland but some models may be stocked with suppliers outside of Auckland. Please check the specific model beforehand.

Yes - we can work with on deliveries to schools, venues, conferences or multi-site fit-outs. Let us know the details and we'll help get the chairs delivered to where you need them.

Yes - unless specified otherwise on the product page of a chair. We understand common uses of stacking chairs and have marked our chairs with their intended use. However, a majority of them can be used interchangeably for various use cases.
