Vertical stacking allows for the tables to not only be stored in a relatively small space, they can be transported easily using the same stacking method.

These tables are not the only item that is stored by stacking. Many of the chairs that are designed for institutional and business use are selectively designed to be stacked as well.

With the chairs the structure of the legs and the back are integral parts necessary for the stacking design to work well. Stacking tables and chairs are very useful in a large setting because the stacking method allows employees and cleaning crews an easy way to move furniture and set it aside in order to clean, strip and polish the floors.
