About the client

Excelsior Academy, a Laidlaw Schools Trust Academy provides education for 3-19 year old pupils rated 'Good' in all categories at the most recent Ofsted inspection at the time of writing.

The decision making process

Chart Area Seating were delighted to be involved with Excelsior Academy from an early stage and worked closely with the school's team to assist the decision making process with quick responses to their queries.

Key factors

The school had a requirement to procure versatile chairs which would offer user comfort, stacking ability and robust construction...and they needed them fast! The busy Academy hosts a constant and hectic schedule of events and required chairs to provide additional seating capacity for these diverse activities.

The school selected the CAS_CAS_CURV chair in hard-wearing and easy-to-maintain polypropylene for its comfort and high-density stacking capability. We were able to provide these chairs from a stock supply which enabled a speedy delivery to ensure the chairs were where they needed to be, when they neede to be there!

CAS summary: "It was lovely to have the opportunity to work with the team at Excelsior Academy and to have the chance to provide chairs which met the brief outlined by the client and just as importantly that could be delivered from stock responding quickly and efficiently to support the academy with their hectic schedule of events. By selecting a high-quality contract standard chair in a durable polypropylene finish they have procured a chair which will serve the academy well for many years to come and provide a comfortable sitting experience for the wide range of visitors, delegates, parents and pupils who visit and use this fantastic education facility."

Clients who have selected the CAS_CAS_CURV chair in polypropylene finish have also considered:

 

CAS_CAS_CARV

CAS_CAS_CARV

Product features:

Similar comfort to CAS_CAS_CURV
Convenient handle cut-out to backrest
Padded and upholstered seat and back option for enhanced comfort
Lower price-point than CAS_CAS_CURV

OK, so what's the downside...?

The CAS_CAS_CARV chair doesn't stack quite as high as the CAS_CAS_CURV so if storage space is limited the CAS_CAS_CURV might give you the space efficient storage you need

Also, the joint welds are not quite as elegant as on the CAS_CAS_CURV - this is a small detail that you might not even notice but we always want to tell you what to look out for!

cas_ley_ilike

CAS_LEY_iLI

Product features:

Great value stacking and linking chair
Lightweight and easy to move
Padded and upholstered seat and back option for enhanced comfort
Polypropylene version stacks 45 high on a transport dolly

OK, so what's the downside...?

Stacking ability is reduced significantly if the chair is specified with upholstered seat and back pads, dropping to 15 high on a transport dolly

Some clients have fed back that they felt the chair really benefited from the upholstered pad so if you anticipate the chair being used for extended periods maybe consider this option to ensure the comfort level is as high as you need

CAS_KIU_POS

CAS_KIU_POS

Product features:

Designed to promote good posture and provide exceptional comfort
Complies with BS EN 1729 Parts 1 & 2 for dimensions, strength and stability
Can be stacked to 12 high for convenient storage and transport
Durable, stain resistant and 100% recyclable
Available in a range of vibrant colours
Upholstered seat available for added comfort and aesthetics

OK, so what's the downside...?

Hmmm, hard to think of anything significant which counts against this chair based on the price-point - if you are looking for a cost-effective chair which still offers a level of ergonomic design and can be specified in a wide range of colours this is a fantastic option.

In terms of aesthetic think playful rather than sophisticated and if that fits your requirement it's a great choice.

cas_cas_lyn

CAS_CAS_LYN

Product features:

An amazing chair!
The innovative and ground-breaking design includes an integrated linking device which facilitates fast setting-out with no loose linking components
Three shell shapes give a choice of aesthetic and a range of materials allow you to choose between timber seat shell, partly or fully-upholstered, polypropylene and laminate

OK, so what's the downside...?

The linking method only allows setting-out in one direction so you can only create and seperate a row from one side - not a biggy but something to bear in mind

It also doesn't stack as high as the other chairs - 12 high on a transport dolly
