Reply to comment by [deleted] in My dad rescued this school chair from a skip in the 70s. They were throwing them all out and replacing them with soulless plastic ones by 5552020

It’s not that it’s better, but it lasts longer - which is the entire point of this subreddit. I agree they’re not super comfy but comfort isn’t why we’re here

To be fair, the plastic chairs are likely more durable than these wooden ones.

Plastics will crack with time I’d go for a wooden chair rather than a plastic one if I was thinking about longevity.
