You may noticed that most plastic chairs have holes in them. When you eat noodles by the roadside or visit places that use plastic chairs, you will often see these holes on the middle of the seat. This small detail makes many people curious about their function and the purpose of holes in plastic chairs.

According to Sanook.com, the holes in plastic chairs are intentionally designed based on practical reasons and principles of physics. They are not just for decorative matters, but they serve as an important function in everyday use.

The main purpose of holes in plastic chairs is to make storage easier when stacking chairs on top of one another. The holes allow air to circulate between the stacked chairs, preventing them from sticking tightly together. This makes it much easier to pull the chairs apart when they are needed.

If plastic chairs did not have holes, stacking them could create a vacuum effect. As a result, the chairs would hold and stick tightly to each other and become much more difficult to separate.

Even a small hole in a simple plastic chair is carefully designed with function in mind. Sometimes, the simplest designs hide the smartest ideas.
