The analysis
5 cm is the number that decides whether a folding chair is really a folding chair. Two of these stacked are 10 cm: that goes behind a door, down the side of a wardrobe, under a bed. A chair that folds to fifteen ends up leaning against a wall for ever.
Each takes 114 kg on a tubular steel frame, which is well past what occasional seating needs, and the seat and back are padded rather than bare metal or plastic. That is the difference between a chair people will sit on through a meal and one they endure.
The seat sits at 45 cm, which is dining-table height. It is not a stool: at a breakfast bar or a high counter you would be looking at the underside of the worktop.
They come as a pair, assembled, with a faux leather cover over the padding.
In favour
- 5 cm thick folded: the pair slides behind a door
- 114 kg per chair on a tubular steel frame
- Padded seat and back, not bare metal
Against
- Faux leather over foam wears at the edges with heavy use
- 45 cm seat height suits a table, not a breakfast bar
- Two chairs, so a table of six needs three sets
Best for: A flat where two extra seats are needed six times a year and must vanish the rest.
