One of the wood folding chairs we rented last year cracked, so I ordered these as backup for my next party.  We have some very tall people in the family (which can stress a flimsy chair).  These are awesome!  They are rated to 1,000 lbs (no way anybody can break these), made of resin so you won't get scratched or peeling paint, and you can wipe or hose them down.  The "padded" seat isn't really soft, but better than nothing.  When opened it locks into position, so you don't have it fold up on you.  Will definitely be buying more in the future, as the price was very reasonable.
