Steel Portable Folding Chairs by National Public Seating – 50 Series Premium Heavy-Duty Foldable Chairs for Indoor & Outdoor, Set of 4 – Comfortable, Durable, Institutional-Grade, Black

At just under $15 a piece, these chairs seemed like a good value. They have a good "maximum weight" and sturdy construction but they are not that comfortable due to the chair design. It's not easy to tell from the posted picture Amazon listing and there's no mention in the description but the seat of the chair sits at a significant angle. I took a few pictures of this chair (gray) next to a normal beige chair. You can see how much of an angle the gray National Public Seating 50 series sits at compared to a normal folding chair that only has a slight incline.I would honestly return them, but the shipping would cost $40. I think it's utter crap that the product is misrepresented leaving me stuck with either uncomfortable chairs or paying $40 out of pocket to return a bad product. I won't be buying another National Public Seating product again.UPDATE: As you can see in the new pictures, parts of the chairs have broken from normal use and are falling apart/off the chairs. This has occurred on all 8 chairs that I purchased after only a few months. This only reinforces the 1 star rating I gave them.

These are great. We usually use them around a IKEA table which has eaves that make up about 89% of the total surface area, and thereby is largely a foldable table in it's own right, and we sometimes put them all away for parties, but mostly just enjoy these chairs' easy ability to switch between just-us-roomates to fifteen-person-board-game-night for the holidays-with-a-tree-and-such-also-whoa-it's-crowded-but-still-comfy.We use them in congress with a set of IKEA foldable chairs, but everyone always chooses these over the IKEA plastic chairs, largely because they're quite narrow and these are rather comfy for people of any size. We're looking to buy another set before the next holiday season.Four instead of five stars because they are largely riveted and glued together, and we've had one completely disintegrate with a loud clang while someone was sitting in it at a party watching a tv show. He was sitting rather still, and is rather light, and we were all extremely surprised by it, most-of-all him. We'll be replacing that one in the next batch. ;)

We purchased these for a friend and they were more than happy with them. The price was great.

Simply put, if you have ANY concern of how much any of your guests will weigh, get these chairs. If these chairs won't handle the weight, then whoever you are seating will have to have contacted you for special consideration anyway. They are nice looking but commercial chairs, and are comfortable for all who use them. We have eight of them for family gatherings, and if anything, people want to be IN these seats, as they are so comfortable.

These chairs are great! I have a large family with some heavier folks. These chairs are sturdy and worth the money!

I purchased these for a local non-profit beekeeping organization, to have a set of chairs to take with us when we do local events for people to sit in while they talk with one of our members. On Earth Day I stuck decal tattoos of bees on thousands of people, each of whom sat down in one of these chairs, and I sat in one for 7 hours. I THINK THEY ARE GREAT. They are very sturdy and strong, sharp lines, and the paint looks like it can take a lot of loading and unloading.

Very solid sturdy seats. Delivered without issue and well packaged with sufficient packing to protect but not the rediculous amount some items come with.Finish is good and the mechanism is firm and solid. While these are not the most comfortable seats in the world for long periods they are solid and secure. Nothing worse than sitting on a flimsy seat and having to brace yourself in the chance it will collapse.

I needed folding chairs for classes and events I was holding and this was a great price for 4. The arrived quickly and were as described. They are sturdy enough for my purpose. Some had noted the chairs are a bit smaller. I did notice they were slightly smaller but not in a way that effected their usefulness. I suppose if you needed stadium seating or all the people who would be using them would be 350 + they might be a bit small. But I think for most uses they are more then adequate. Recommended.

One of the chairs was damagedSee photo. It was in the middle of the parcel so not sure when or how it happened. Would have preferred it be delivered to the door as it was a heavy parcel and I had to have someone else go to post office to get it for me. Chairs are as advertised.

I bought these chairs for clients to use at my salon. Great, sturdy chairs. They wipe clean easily and so far have stood up to lots of customer abuse.

Fantastic. Really happy with the quality and the durability of these. You get what you pay for with these!

Durable, easily movable

Good qoulity
