Products made with plastic have a bad reputation for being cheap and flimsy.
However, when it comes to outdoor furniture, plastic happens to be the perfect material.
Wood and metal furniture each have disadvantages which include vulnerability to rust, molding and chipping.
These pieces are also quite heavy and difficult to maneuver.
When you add a stackable feature to plastic chairs, they become the ultimate outdoor seating solution.
Chairs such as these can be used for many purposes such as parties, dining or lounging.
At only a few dollars per chair, they are also quite economical.
Stackable plastic chairs are designed to stack upon one another for compact storage.
Several chairs can be stacked at a time on any hard and flat surface.
Extra chairs can be kept on hand for special occasions without taking up very much room.
Most models feature arm and backrests for comfort.
The seat and back sections are slightly curved as to conform to the body's shape.
Mesh or slats in the back allow air to flow over your back to keep you cool.
Even though the plastics used in these chairs are tough, it still makes sense to protect the chairs from the elements.
Chair covers are a great way to do this.
Stackable chair covers are available which cover the entire stack of chairs.
This means that you don't have to buy a cover for each individual chair.
These covers slip over the top easily and stay in place.
The cheapest ones are made of plastic and work well, but an upgrade to a fabric cover is recommended.
To make stackable chairs even more comfortable, removable pads can be placed on the seats.
These pads are both comfortable and decorative, and can be removed in harsh weather.
The pads may need to be removed when stacking the chairs.
