Chair Weight Test – 375KG

October 17, 2017

We were recently asked by a customer… “Show us how strong your chairs are?” So we parked the rear end of a 2.2 tonne car on them!

The polypropylene chairs by Siesta are no ordinary plastic chairs.

Produced in Europe by the latest generation of polypropylene moulding technology these chairs a built to last years in any commercial environment. We were asked by a customer to show them how strong these chairs were. We parked the rear end of a 2.2 tonne Ford Ranger on them. The rear axle weight was 750KG. Each chair held approximately 375KG each!


The Vita Chair is shaped for maximum comfort, and built to withstand the roughest and toughest conditions. The plastic shell is UV stabilised so it will not fade or go brittle when used outdoors in direct sunlight. The aluminium legs have been anodised so they will not rust even when used in coastal areas. The Vita Chair has been tried, tested and proven in the Australian market, it has exceeded all expectations with its long lasting durability.

The entire chair is a one-piece injection mould of polypropylene, the legs have been reinforced with glass fibre to provide even more stability. The plastic is packed with UV stabiliser so this chair will not fade or go brittle in direct sunlight.
