I ordered the chairs for my elderly uncle. He was having difficulty with his old iron outside chairs. My uncle likes these chairs because they allow him to easily sit down, and get up. Folding makes them easy to store, but they can be left out as well as they are weatherproof.  A pillow adds to the comfort, even though it isnt needed.  I highly recommend these Adirondack Folding Chairs, they are stylish and not too costly.
