We are fortunate to be getting a hand-me-down of 6 of these chairs! We are going to be driving cross-country with them, and are trying to figure out whether they are stackable in order to help determine how big our rental car / truck needs to be. Does anyone happen to know if these are stackable?

Thanks in advance!

No,
But you could disassemble them so the seats and back rests could be stacked, and the frames can be sort of stacked as well.

Great hand-me-down! A...
Great hand-me-down! A stylish uncle? Grandparent?
I bought 6 of these and they were all shipping in one box!!! Disassembled you'd be surprised at how compact they can get. And they are easy to assemble...

a stylish grandmother!
Actually, my boyfriend's grandmother, who's an incredible woman and has collected a lot of wonderful furniture and artwork over the last several years.
I'm glad to know that we can disassemble and reassemble easily. This will leave room for some of the other furniture and pieces we might bring back as well.
Thanks!

Remove the seat
and they should stack easily -- be sure to pad between the frames, to avoid damage to the seat-backs.
Chairs stack only if the legs fit over the seat beneath. Look for the legs to be fully outboard of the seat. The Eames chairs (and most others) do not have this feature.
