When arranging seating for a waiting room or reception area in a medical environment there are many aspects that have to be considered, and one of the main details is the space available to you. Your reception or waiting area may be on the small side, it may be in a corridor, for example in a hospital, or there may be wildly different patient numbers expected at different times. All of these problems can be alleviated by having stackable chairs available when you are busy, as they can also be kept out of the way tidily when not required.
