3.1 Advantages of Single-Leg Auditorium Chairs
- Elegant appearance, providing a clean visual effect once installed.
- Fewer legs make cleaning easier, and seating arrangements can be more flexible.

3.2 Advantages of Dual-Leg Auditorium Chairs
- Very stable structure. Can be installed with fixed legs anchored to the floor or as a movable leg design for spaces that require occasional seat removal.
- Versatile for a wide range of venues.
Disadvantages:
- May not look as sleek or modern as single-leg chairs for clients who want a unique design.
- For movable leg designs, long continuous rows (6+ seats) can be heavy and difficult to move.
