jerryj Report post Posted July 29, 2009 What are your favorite folding chairs? We are looking for two new chairs because one of ours was stolen while we left it to save a parking place. At the West is Best Rally in Albany, Oregon, I kind of liked the folding chairs that had a solid flip-up table on the side or over your legs when sitting. I would like to know who the suppliers were, if anyone knows. They don't fold as compact as what we now have, but they may be more useful. Just wondering what motorhomers' favorite chairs are.

Guest Wayne77590 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Jerry and Diane, Darn! I was just in one of the major shop everyday stores and was intrigued by the chair with the flip up side arm that would hold your cup and other items. I was so surprised at how extremely light they were. They don't collapse into a small bundle, but they do fold flat with the arm going down between the legs so that the whole item is flat and can be stowed easily. When the right little man running around in my head pops out, I'll post the store name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbutler Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Jerry and Diane, Our favorite chairs are directors chairs with a side table. They are very sturdy, relatively light. Ours have a carrying strap so we can carry them easily. We had a wooden set when we started motor home living and eventually the fabric gave out and we couldn't find replacement fabric. The current ones are aluminum frame and are much more compact. There are many variations of directors chairs. Ours came from Monaco but I'm sure you can get them from other suppliers.

bjmcgee Report post Posted August 6, 2009 Bill was given one of the chairs with the flip up table for his b'day. It was purchased at Gander Mtn. They're a little less expensive there than Camping World. The flip up table is on the right side. Left side has a bag with multi-size pockets for holding 'whatever' he chooses. Very sturdy. Believe it will accommodate 300 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wayne77590 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 This wasn't the store I saw them in, but is this chair what you are looking for? Coleman also makes one. Ahhhhhh! The little man popped out!

ACADEMY (A sports store here in Texas ad other fine Southern states) academy.com and search on directors chair Close, but it looks like the style chair is the director style. It seems like the side table would flip up over the lap and could be used with a computer. I wished I would have bought 2 of them but had a price around $100. We have since bought 2 chairs, recliners, from CampingWorld. They are very comfortable but still we will be looking for a couple of director chairs. Maybe at another FMCA Convention.

DoggyDaddy Report post Posted August 24, 2009 What are your favorite folding chairs? We are looking for two new chairs because one of ours was stolen while we left it to save a parking place. Sounds like you need a portable "Campsite Reserved" sign. With the price of chairs today I behooves one to put their name on the chair in permanent marker or with an engraver. Make believe your a movie star. Chairs may look the same but they have different heights for the seat and back, and the weight capacity which is important if a guest should decide to drop by for a drink. I passed up on some chairs and a recliner at Quartzsite that I regret - so I am still looking for the one that fits me just right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be bringing my engraver with me next time but don't think it will help a lot. I would have to see the chair again and then the engraving. Funny but we do have a "Campsite Reserved" sign and thought the chair would work okay. Live and learn. We will also be going to Quartzsite next year. Probably be looking in the big tent for some special chairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wayne77590 Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Ah! The little man popped out! I remember seeing the folding chairs with the fold down arm at SAM's Club. There were not expensive. They do not colapse into a small pacage but they do fold down flat, including the table, as it swings between the legs when folded. I believe the price was $19 and some change.
