Flash Furniture HERCULES Stacking Church Chair Key Features

The Flash Furniture Hercules stacking chairs are designed and more unobtrusive than handsome, but they’re certainly not bad-looking pieces of furniture. Far and away, the most impressive aspect of these chairs is that they support an impressive 800 pounds of user weight.

Even if you’re a little heavy, with a maximum supported weight like that, these chairs are a perfect fit for any use or occasion. Even better, Flash sells them individually or in packs of four. If you want to get several, that’s easy to do, and let’s face it, who buys just a single folding or stacking chair? If you need this type of seating, you almost always need more than one.

Chair Specifications

Aside from the chair’s impressive maximum supported weight and color selection, here are the other basic stats that define the HERCULES church chair:

  • Chair Dimensions: 25” x 21.2” x 33”
  • Chair Weight: 18 pounds
  • Seat Height: 18”
  • Seat Width: 21”

Ganging Brackets

These are much more than simple stacking chairs, though, so there are a few additional features to discuss here. They come with “ganging brackets,” which allow you to link the chairs together to create a nice, straight row if you need to, making them very handy for seminars or for use as wedding seating.

Storage Pocket

Another cool feature is that each chair comes with a small pocket sewn into the back. It’s not terribly large, but it’s big enough to hold a bulletin, small book, information packet, etc. Depending on your needs, this could be indispensable.

Rocker Glides

In addition, the metal chair legs come with plastic rocker glides meant to protect your floors, allowing you to use them just about anywhere. With the exception of rocker glides, you don’t find those kinds of features on folding chairs, making these a cut above.

Bumper Guards

Finally, these chairs have bumper guards on the legs, which protect them from damage when you stack them for storage. It’s a small thing but a super nice touch that adds real value to the design.

Minimal Assembly Required

Unlike folding chairs, the Flash Furniture Hercules church chairs require light assembly before they’re ready for first use. Fortunately, this process is dead simple and will only take a few minutes.

In fact, it will probably take you longer to take the chair out of the box than to put it together. Assembly is about as simple as it gets.

Adjustability and Comfort

While this model doesn’t boast any adjustable features, we need to say some things about comfort that will pleasantly surprise you.

First, these chairs are generously padded, featuring 4” block foam. Second, and even better, the seat boasts a waterfall edge design, giving it a surprise ergonomic feature that will make sitting in it surprisingly comfortable even for longish periods.

Pros and Cons of Flash Furniture HERCULES Stacking Chair

These are great chairs, but they do have two potential drawbacks you need to be aware of.

First, they are significantly more expensive than folding chairs. Granted, buying a few of these isn’t going to break the bank for most people, but if you’re on a budget, folding chairs might be the better option.

Second, while most folding chairs can easily be used outdoors, you’ve got to be careful if you decide to use these outside. The fabric and block foam won’t stand up well to the elements. If you use them, say, as outdoor wedding seating or something, you’ll want to be very confident of the day’s weather forecast and probably have a rapid response team standing by to collect them and move them inside if the weather turns unexpectedly.

The fact that these chairs have to be used with great care outdoors makes them somewhat less versatile than folding chairs, but depending on how you plan to use them, these chairs could be an extremely attractive option.

In no particular order, their best features are:

  • The impressive amount of user weight they support
  • The range of color options available
  • The extras on offer, the presence of surprisingly generous padding, and a well-implemented ergonomic feature in the form of the waterfall-edge style seat.

Final Thoughts: Flash Furniture Hercules Stacking Church Chair Review

While not quite as versatile as their folding chair counterparts, the Flash Furniture Hercules Stacking church chairs are still incredibly versatile and useful in various circumstances. In addition, they’re more comfortable than any folding chair you could buy and come with a surprising number of extras. On that basis, we provisionally recommend them, depending on your specific needs.
