Common auditorium chairs have three types of stands: one-legged stands, armrest-type stands, and reinforced stands.

The one-legged stand is the center point of the entire auditorium chair supported by one leg. The contact surface with the ground is larger than the other two types of stands, so it is relatively stable and looks very high-end. The legs have ventilation holes, and the legs can also be used to connect to other devices to add various functions. However, because the manufacturing process is complex and delicate, the installation requirements are also very high, and the price will be relatively high. When choosing this kind of footing, you need to pay attention to whether the site meets the installation requirements.

The armrest-type standing feet are mainly formed by connecting the armrests and the standing feet. They are beautiful, stable, reliable and simple in structure. The price is generally determined according to the material used (steel or aluminum alloy). Armrest-type standing feet need to be well maintained, otherwise they are prone to oxidation and may cause deformation after long-term use.
The reinforced footing is the same as the ordinary footing in the form of connecting handrails and footings. Aluminum alloy or steel is commonly used as the main material, which is elegant and beautiful. Reinforcement ribs will be added to the foot base to make the foot base more stable, very stable and have a long service life. The structure is simple, the installation and fixing work is relatively simple, and the price is a little more expensive than ordinary stands.

03 How to choose suitable chair cushions and chair backs

Only when you meet this kind of sitting posture can you sit comfortably and look better.

Secondly, the choice of the internal filling of the auditorium chair is also very important. The quality of the internal filling is related to whether the chair and the surface are stiff. Generally, the cushions of auditorium chairs are sponge cushions. Good-quality cushions are thicker and have concave curves, making them more comfortable to sit on.

When it comes to routine cleaning and maintenance of auditorium chairs, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

For auditorium chairs made of linen or textile fabrics:
Tap gently or use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush away particulate matter. For spilled drinks, soak up the water with paper towels and wipe gently with warm neutral detergent.
Blot with a clean cloth and tumble dry on low heat.
Avoid using wet cloths, sharp objects or acidic/alkaline chemicals on fabric.
Instead, wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth.

For auditorium chairs made of genuine leather or PU leather:
Clean light stains with a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing vigorously. For long-standing dirt, dilute a neutral cleaning solution with warm water (1%-3%) and wipe away the stain. Rinse with a clean water rag and buff with a dry cloth. After drying, apply an appropriate amount of leather conditioner evenly.
For general daily maintenance, you can gently wipe the leather surface with a clean and soft cloth.

For auditorium chairs made of wooden materials:
Avoid placing drinks, chemicals, overheated or hot items directly on the surface to prevent damage. Wipe loose particles regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Stains can be removed with warm tea. Once dry, apply a light layer of wax to form a protective film. Beware of hard metal products or sharp objects that may damage wooden surfaces.

For auditorium chairs made of metal materials:
Avoid using harsh or organic solutions, wet cloths, or caustic cleaners as they may cause scratches or rust. Do not use strong acids, alkali or abrasive powder for cleaning. The vacuum cleaner is suitable for chairs made of all materials. Be careful not to use a suction brush to avoid damaging the braided wire, and don’t use too much suction. Finally, regular disinfection of auditorium seating used in public spaces, regardless of material, is critical to keeping people safe.
