Why are iron chairs colder than wooden chairs in the same temperature?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, whereas wood is a poor conductor of heat. When you touch room-temperature metal, it draws heat from your skin faster than room-temperature wood does, so it feels cold.
As was stated above, this only holds for chairs that are at a lower temperature (say, room temperature) than your skin temperature. If the chairs were at a higher temperature than your skin temperature (say, 100 degrees Fahrenheit), the metal would transfer heat to your skin faster than the wood would transfer heat, so the metal chair would feel hotter than the wood chair.

Why does a piece of iron feel colder than a piece of wood even though they are both in the same temperature?
Wood is a porous material in which a lot of air is trapped, and as a result, it is a poor conductor of heat. Iron is a denser material which is a good conductor of heat. So when you touch iron, heat flows easily from your finger into the colder piece of iron. Heat flows much more slowly from your finger into a piece of wood, even if the wood is exactly the same temperature as the iron.
