boldworks Folding Chair Rack Folding Chair Cart Folding Chair Storage Dolly with Wheels and Holder for 84 Chairs or 12 Tables of 800 LBS Capacity Includes Weatherproof Cover

A workhorse for corralling lots of folding chairs

I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting shuttling stacks of chairs until I started using the Boldworks chair cart. It’s a straightforward piece of kit—steel frame, four casters, adjustable arms—but it changes the rhythm of setup and breakdown in a very real way. If you manage an event space, a church hall, a school gym, or simply own more chairs than you’d like to admit, this cart turns a sprawling, awkward job into something tidy and predictable.

Setup and first impressions

Out of the box, the cart is all business. The uprights and rails are powder-coated steel with a thick, even finish, and the components have the kind of heft that suggests long-term durability rather than clever weight savings. This is not a featherweight—plan to assemble it where it will live, or at least where you can roll it out easily after you’re finished.

Assembly is straightforward, but it goes smoother with two people. The best approach is to keep all the bolts finger-tight while you get the frame square, mount the casters, and then snug everything down in sequence. That keeps the uprights aligned and avoids the “one hole won’t quite line up” dance. Once tightened, the frame feels rigid, and the casters thread in cleanly.

A small note: orient the casters so the brakes are easy to reach from the ends of the cart. You’ll use them more than you think.

Capacity: published numbers vs usable reality

Boldworks rates the cart for up to 84 folding chairs, with an 800 lb load capacity, and offers a mixed load option of chairs plus up to 12 folding tables using the included bungee straps. Structurally, the cart can take the weight. The limiting factor is the size and thickness of the chairs you own.

With standard metal folding chairs and blow-molded plastic chairs, the adjustable arms (six height positions) make it easy to set a slot that keeps seats nested and backs level. If your chairs are the common slim profile, you’ll get close to the published capacity. If your chairs are the chunkier plastic style—wider backs, thicker seats—you’ll run out of room sooner. In my case, I comfortably loaded 60–70 mixed chairs without overcrowding and still had clear sight lines over the load while steering.

On the mixed-load front, you can secure folding tables along the central channel using the included bungee straps. It works, but physics still applies: mixing tables and chairs reduces how many chairs you can carry, and tall, heavy tables want to shift if you cut corners aggressively. Keep the heaviest items low and centered, and don’t try to max out both categories at once.

Adjustability and fit

The arms offer six height positions, which matter more than you might expect. Set too low, and chair feet can collide across the channel; set too high, and chair frames ride the arm edge instead of settling. After a few iterations, I landed on a height that let steel chairs nest neatly while still accommodating thicker plastic seats on the opposite side. If you routinely handle different chair types, the ability to tweak the spacing is invaluable.

One caveat: the arms are bare, powder-coated steel. They’re smooth, but metal-on-metal contact will scuff painted chair frames over time. For venues that care about cosmetics, a simple fix is to slip foam pipe insulation, felt strips, or fabric sleeves over the arms. It takes five minutes and eliminates the “first scratch” factor.

Mobility, brakes, and floor friendliness

The casters are a highlight. They’re large enough to roll a full load without flattening against the floor, and the non-marking rubber lived up to its name on polished concrete and gymnasium wood floors. Even loaded heavily, the cart tracked straight with minimal caster chatter. Tight turns are possible, but like any long rack, it needs room to swing its tail; plan your route before you get wedged in a doorway.

The integrated brakes work as intended. On a slight incline or while you’re building out a row of chairs, a flick of the toe keeps the cart from drifting. On truly sloped surfaces or ramps, I still keep a hand on the frame, but for typical use the brakes provide all the control you need.

Thresholds and rough outdoor surfaces are doable, with a caveat: don’t sprint. If you need to cover distance across pavement or cross a lip between rooms, secure the load with the bungee straps and take it slow. That protects both the wheels and your chairs.

Durability and outdoor readiness

The powder-coated steel resists scratches and rust, and the welds are clean. I appreciate the included weatherproof cover more than I expected. It’s thick enough to keep dust off and shrug off light rain during an outdoor staging window, and it fits over a full load without a wrestling match. For longer-term outdoor storage, I still prefer a sheltered spot, but for day-to-day operations the cover is absolutely worth using.

Hardware is decent quality, threads are clean, and nothing felt like a “spare the pennies” choice. After a few days of use, I re-checked the bolts—a good habit for any wheeled rack—and everything stayed snug.

Day-to-day workflow improvements

The biggest win is consolidation. Instead of scattering stacks of chairs across a storage room, I keep one consolidated, strapped, and covered load that can be rolled out in a single trip. During setup, being able to park the cart next to the row I’m building reduces steps and speeds the job. During breakdown, I sort by chair type as I load and keep the heavier pieces low and centered, so the cart stays balanced as the load grows.

The cart also reduces floor damage risk. Non-marking wheels and a stable frame beat dragging stacks or using smaller dollies that can dig into wood or leave flat spots in carpet. It’s gentler on backs, too; the arms sit at a comfortable height for lifting on and off without excessive bending.

Shortcomings and practical tips

No tool is perfect. Here’s what I learned and what I’d change:

• Capacity depends heavily on chair profile. If you own oversized or thick plastic chairs, expect a lower real-world count than the top-line number.
• Protect painted chair frames. Add inexpensive padding to the arms to prevent scuffs.
• Assembly is easier with two people. Keep bolts loose until the frame is squared, then tighten sequentially to avoid racking.
• Mind your route. Doorways and tight turns demand planning when the rack is fully loaded and tall.
• Mix loads conservatively. Chairs plus tables is practical, but prioritize stability over squeezing on “just a few more.”

If I could wish for one upgrade, it would be optional arm sleeves or snap-on guards from the manufacturer. It’s a small addition that would make the cart friendlier to premium seating without user mods.

Who it’s for

• Event coordinators and rental companies who need to move dozens of chairs quickly and cleanly.
• Schools, churches, and community centers with shared spaces that flip frequently.
• Facilities teams that value floor protection and ergonomic handling.

If you only move a dozen chairs a few times a year, this is likely more cart than you need. For anything beyond that, it hits a sweet spot of capacity, stability, and cost effectiveness.

Bottom line

The Boldworks chair cart is a sturdy, thoughtfully designed solution for storing and moving a large number of folding chairs, with enough adjustability to handle different chair types and the accessories to make everyday use cleaner and safer. The casters roll smoothly without chewing up floors, the brakes inspire confidence, and the cover and straps are genuinely useful.

I recommend it, with a couple of clear-eyed caveats. You may not achieve the absolute maximum chair count if your inventory skews thick or oversized, and you’ll want to pad the arms to protect painted frames. Within those bounds, it saves time, reduces clutter, and makes chair logistics far less of a chore—exactly what a good cart should do.
