Overall, the Academy visitor chair is a great purchase. It has a sleek design that fits well in our space, and the stackable feature is incredibly useful for when we need to clear the room. The seat padding is generous, and the breathable back keeps you cool. My only minor issue was that I wish the armrests were adjustable. However, for the price point and the overall heavy-duty feel, it’s a brilliant piece of office furniture.

Stacks away without a fuss
We took eight of these for the meeting room and they get stacked against the wall twice a week. Frame has not budged. Padding is firmer than it looks in the photos, which is fine for an hour but I would not sit in one all morning.
