Casual Home Director's Chair,Black Frame/Black Canvas,18" - Classic Height

Lovely quality folding chair and not flimsy in the slightest. I had half expected the canvas to be thinner and the chair to be lighter but was pleasantly surprised. The canvas is nice and thick, the quality of the chair is great too. Initially I thought it was a bit stiff to put up and down but it has eased up with use over time. I bought this for a boat for extra seating but I needed to save space as well so it did the job perfectly.

Very elegant retro directors chair. Reasonably well built. The canvas is separate and can be swapped with other colors. Two minor flaws, the seat canvas grooves are a bit rough, which may hinder a easy insertion of the canvas and initially thought the canvas is too small, which hinders unfolding the chair entirely. The later is half intentionall, since the canvas will stretch. After a few days it works as desired.

I got this for a friend for Christmas, and it's broken already. The post of the back rest snapped in 2. The chair looks nice, but very cheaply made.

Comfortable, durable, and fit perfectly.

Very good solid chair! Using for a photography prop

Some assembly is required, namely sliding the edges of the fabric seat into the grooves in the frame. It took less than a minute to put together, and included instructions if you need them. It has some nice touches: Sturdy brass-ish hardware, non-marking feet to protect the floor, smooth even finish, relatively lightweight wood. The seat is 18" from the floor, and gives you a 17" wide by 13" deep sitting area. The outside dimensions of the chair are 22" wide x 16" deep x 34" tall at the highest part of the back. Armrests are about 25" off the floor, aka 7" up from the seat. When all folded up, it measures 8.5" wide by 16" deep by 26" high. The only flimsiness I've noticed is that the wooden pieces supporting the back bend inward slightly when I lean back against the backrest, which is to be expected of any director-style chair. I weigh 125lbs and it doesn't move at all when I sit down on it. I imagine, though, that the wooden bars at the base of each armrest might not be comfortable for someone who takes up more than 17" of horizontal space when sitting. The seat looks really wide because of how the chair is proportioned, but actually I have less than 1" of room either side of me when sitting in it and I'm not exactly a large person. The points which I'd expect to wear out first are the seams of the seat and back (they're sewn with unusually long stitches and little reinforcement) and the arm rests (there's a tiny gap visible where each wooden piece fits into the others and I'm not sure how well they're glued).
