What We Like

  • The base is steel and the casters are the carpet type named in the title.
  • A lumbar support is listed on the backrest.

Watch Out For

  • The listing does not state a weight capacity, and its 5 rating rests on a single review.
  • The seat cushion type is given as none, at 0 inches thick, so there is no padding to count on.

At a Glance

Titled a multipurpose chair on a tripod base with carpet casters and filed under Stacking Chairs, this Node has a steel base, a listed lumbar support and a tilt mechanism given as none. The backrest is 27 inches high and the chair weighs 27 lb.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Spaces that want a plain multipurpose chair on a steel tripod base, as the title describes.
  • Buyers who prefer a fixed seat with nothing to set up: the tilt mechanism is none and seat depth is not adjustable.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants to lean back, since the tilt mechanism is listed as none.
  • Buyers who want arms that flip up out of the way, which the school-chair Node states; this listing says only that the chair has arms.

Node in the stacking-chair listing: steel base, open seat edge and a plain seat

The listing says the chair has arms and gives no adjustment for them. The base is steel and the seat edge is open. The back is plastic and the seat upholstery is given as none, so the listing describes a hard-surfaced seat.

Alternatives to Consider

Why consider: States a 300 lb capacity, which this multipurpose listing does not state, and lists flip-up arms.

Why consider: Has a high-density foam cushion and states a 275 lb capacity and a 2-year warranty, none of which this Node states; here the seat cushion type is none.
