Folding chairs and I never got along... until I sat in this one. It is very easy to open, fold, carry and store as it is remarkably compact and lightweight. However, it is not a lightweight when it comes to construction. It is solid, stable and sturdy and the finish on the metal is flawless. The fabric is excellent quality - with the added bonus and pleasant surprise of being Scotchguarded! The padding is substantial and feels like it will hold up well over time.
Usually I get a sore neck, back and bottom from sitting in folding chairs but this one keeps my spine supported and aligned so there's no need to constantly fidget to be comfortable. Just sit and relax. I use them as extra dining chairs and the height is perfect. They also match my decor beautifully and I have received many compliments on how nice they look.
I had no idea how pricey even the most basic folding chairs can be and I didn't need a set of 4. I am a bargain-hunting, price-comparison shopper so you can believe it when I say you will not find a better value for your hard-earned dollar. Do yourself a favor and look no further. This is the one to buy. You won't be sorry.
