I once picked up 10 of these chairs from a bible school in the area. They are stackable from what I remember.
I see similar chairs pop up for sale every now and then, but I have never seen them attributed to any designer or maker.

I also have a bunch of these chairs and have never been able to ID them. Some have book/magazine storage underneath and some do not. I think they're really nice and would like to know more about them.

look like the are designed to interlock, is that right?
(The front legs appear to be differently positioned)
Almost certainly for church or school with the book/bible shelf.

These are close (kinda, sorta or not!) with no upholstery by Jim Cutler of Cutler Anderson. Wrong leg shape.

Attributed to Sauder Woodworking Co.
Still in business in Ohio. Church furniture was their main gig for a long time, I think.

best part of this Forum
Hugh
The cleaver ganging design is the best feature on this POS commercial chair.
tktoo finding the highest probability correct answer in the shortest time is the best part of this Forum.
Some people make things happen, others watch things happen and some wonder* what happened.
tktoo is among the group that makes things happen. Hugh, now you have watched things happen.
