American Trails Extra-Wide Premium 18" Director's Chair Black Frame with Natural Canvas

Very good quality chairs. Hinge hardware is quality. Wood and Canvas are quality. Good thick stitching on the canvas backs. Nice black paint. The surface finish is much more smooth and refined than other chairs I have purchased in the past. I will buy these from now on. Great value.

(WESTERN ORLANDO, FLORIDA, USA):We have an H.O. Slot Car racing club for us old guys. (We might be trying to relive our youth ?!?!) I wanted an elevated chair with a back support for us Old Guys with back issues, and tall enough to view the entire track when racing - so we can adjust car speeds as necessary to conform to the track design..This chair met the needs! If we need to store it (which we don't) , we would remove one screw on the footrest, then it can be folded as desired. It supports the weight "of the guys", two of whom are 300#. It seemed flimsy when I unpacked the chair, but worked fine. We have two short members, and by busing the foot rest, then got into the chair well. The canvas seat and backrest are better than chairs with hard seats..(MIGHT ALSO BE GOOD FOR FOLKS IN THEIR BILLLIARDS ROOM.).We ordered four chairs as a trial, and will now order four more for non-racers to watch the track until their time to race. I do recommend the chair for others to use. Delivery was "as scheduled".

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good price, large size!

The chairs looked great, but the canvas seat is so tight (and they admit that in the assembly instructions!) They indicated that if it was too tight putting the canvas on you should try sitting on it to stretch it out. My friend did that (not a huge guy) and the wood legs actually cracked and split, completely destroying the integrity of the chair.

For years now, my dad has talked wistfully about the director's chairs we used to have at my childhood home, but because he's gotten older and is much more frail, I wanted to be sure to get something sturdy, and easy for him to get in and out of. This chair fits the bill, and he loves it!I put it together in less than 15 minutes, and the most time consuming part was attaching the footrest, which, incidentally, seems to be the least stable and most wobbly part of the whole chair. The seat and backrest are wider than director's chairs traditionally are, but it's that much more comfortable for the generous seat. The canvas that comes with it, in this case, is a beautiful, deep blue, and is made of a thick and sturdy cotton duck-like weight. The wood frame is beautiful, and well crafted.I've been looking for a deal on one for myself since putting together dad's! ;-)

Nice chair, looks great! Easy to set up and comfortable

Bought this for a teacher for her class! She loves it! Great quality

One chair came w/o the holes drilled all the way through on the foot rest and the other came with the holes not lining up.Our neighbor drilled holes for us and the chairs are fine except for that. Glad we had a handy friend to help.
