The following types of wood are used in modern furniture production: oak, alder, pine, birch, hevea, beech, larch, maple, ash, walnut, rattan, wenge.

The most affordable products are made of solid pine or birch. However, the low price does not mean low quality of such products.

Birch and pine models are cheaper because they are made not from valuable tree species, but from widespread in our country. There is no doubt that wood furniture is safe and environmentally friendly, since it is made from natural materials that do not contain hazardous and harmful substances.

Also the advantages of wooden models include their durability and strength. To damage such furniture is not so easy, and it can serve more than a dozen years.

In addition to the high price, many consumers attribute to the negative aspects of such furniture the difficulty in care.

Natural wood should be periodically treated with special protective mixtures, without which it can fade, crack or crack. Moreover, often in untreated wood, various parasites settle, which is very difficult to get rid of.

From MDF, chipboard

Chairs from materials such as MDF or chipboard will cost less to the buyer. This raw material consists of waste wood production and various impurities, which significantly reduces the cost of it. The range of such furniture today is greater than ever. It is very popular because of its affordable price, durability and wear resistance.

However, these affordable interior items have a number of disadvantages.

  • First of all, it is necessary to single out the rustic and monotonous design of such interior items. They all look alike. Finding a truly unique designer item made of laminated chipboard or MDF is quite difficult.
  • As part of LDSP, formaldehyde resins hazardous to human health are present, which are released at high temperatures. In hot weather, next to such furniture is better not to be. You can save yourself from such a dangerous influence by turning to products from class “E-1” chipboard or models with veneer.

Folding chairs made of these materials are more common when compared to solid wood models. This is due to their low price and large assortment. In addition, such furniture does not need to be treated with special chemicals to preserve its attractive appearance.

Metallic

Metal constructions are the strongest and most durable. The lion's share of metal chairs has a small weight, so you can not worry about damage to the flooring in the room. In the manufacture of such structures can be used painted or chrome-plated materials. The latter look especially attractive and stylish.

However, it should be borne in mind that such furniture looks best in modern stylistic directions, and in the classics it should not be used.

Folding stools on the metal frame often have a low back, and standard chairs are equipped with comfortable armrests. It is worth noting the fact that such furniture does not require special care. Dust and dirt from its surface can be removed using a normal damp cloth.

Metal chairs, as a rule, in the production process are treated with anti-corrosion coatings, which makes it even more durable and resistant to wear. Most metal chairs are designed for heavy loads (over 100 kg).

In addition, damage to such furniture is much more difficult than, for example, plastic. It is not subject to deformation and is not afraid of mechanical effects.

Plastic

Plastic today is one of the most popular, inexpensive and common materials that are widely used in various industries. Folding chairs from similar materials are distinguished by their low weight, aesthetic appearance and ease of maintenance.

Many consumers opt for such furniture due to its huge color spectrum. The fact is that plastic is easy to paint,therefore, in the modern furniture market you can meet chairs of absolutely any color.

However, such furniture has its drawbacks. These include the following:

  • The unreliability of the material. The surface of plastic furniture is subject to mechanical damage and minor defects (cracks and scratches). If you strike too hard, the folding plastic chair may break.
  • Toxicity. When buying such furniture, you should be familiar with the quality certificate. In such documents there is information that the material is safe and does not contain toxic substances. Experts do not recommend saving, as too cheap copies can be dangerous to health.
  • Intolerance to heat. Folding chairs made of plastic should never be placed near batteries or heaters. This can lead to the deformation of the furniture and the loss of its attractiveness. As for the plastic garden chairs, it is desirable to place them in the shade, as direct sunlight will also adversely affect the state of the material.

Dimensions

Today, a wooden folding chair can be chosen with any height, depth and width, but the following parameters are standard.

  • 27-40 cm (width);
  • 30-40 cm (depth);
  • 30 cm (diameter of round models);
  • 40-50 cm (height).
