Well it seems everyone had those same chairs in school, as did I. Heh, that's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this picture.
Look! a ring from Sonic the Hedgehog under the chair!

I too had these chairs in grade school. My music teacher would kick them at us because we would drive him crazy with our velcro shoe straps.
Thats back when they were getting popular.
Now guess how old i am. :-)

Wow, that brings back memories! I can't say how many hours I sat and fidgeted in school in a chair just like that.

Here in the UK they're known as "Stacker" chairs - because they stack easily into large columns. Had them at school too - they make your ass sweaty and give you piles.

Okay, who else wants to give their age away by stating that they, too, once sat their tush in a chair exactly like this one?

Like pretty much everyone else who commented here, we had these same exact chairs in junior high, only ours were blue. They were really uncomfortable, and way too small.

The red chair looks like that we got in our dining hall in school back at the old days (early
80's), but the surroundings was slight cleaner at school I will remember.

loll I'm in my final year of high school and luckily never had to endure the horror of those chairs :P But it's neat to hear all your detailed explanations, I'm really into history so I'm always interested in what it really felt like to be back in that time.

And... LOL OMG, if I'm seeing correctly, which may or may not be the case, this evening, and those ARE the horrid scratchy plastic chairs with the triangle hole out of the back, I too had to suffer them in grade school. I always wondered what that hole was for? Ventlation I guess...
