I needed a comfortable, NICE looking folding chair to use when I do volunteer work for our town's dog park. I am on the planning committee and do a lot of fund-raising at the park and at other community events. I used other kinds of folding chairs and didn't like any of them. These chairs are comfortable and fit easily in my Beetle convertible and in my storage closet at home. These chairs are very sturdy, good quality material, very well made!
