Worked out with an absolute anchor Editorial judgement
* The manufacturer does not publish a reliable folded measurement for this model, so space efficiency is worked out from what we do know: how compact it is open and what it weighs. How we score.

The analysis
Open, the chair stands 77 cm tall on a 47.5 x 59 cm footprint, figures that set how much floor it needs once it is in use at a desk or table. What they do not settle is how much floor it gives back once folded: the manufacturer publishes folding legs as the mechanism but no folded width, depth or thickness. Without that figure, storing it flat under a bed or stacked in a cupboard cannot be sized in advance, and we would rather say so than invent a number.
The seat itself is fabric over a beech wood frame with a varnished finish, at a seat height of 44 cm and a seat depth of 44 cm, with an open back and pillow-top arms. Care is wipe clean only, which matters more for a fabric surface than for a hard one.
At 5 kg it is light enough to carry one-handed between a desk and a dining table, and the maker rates the frame for 120 kg, well above the weight of a single adult. No assembly is required, so it is ready to fold open on arrival. The manufacturer does not publish a warranty period.
In favour
- Arrives with no assembly required, according to the manufacturer
- Weighs 5 kg, light enough to move between rooms
- Rated for 120 kg load capacity, per the manufacturer
Against
- No folded dimensions published, so its stored footprint cannot be checked in advance
- The manufacturer does not publish the length of the warranty
Best for: Anyone who needs a light, no-assembly chair for a desk or small dining table and does not need to plan its folded storage size in advance.
