Amazon Basics

Amazon Basics is the white brand of Amazon and yes, we have included it because, in terms of folding chairs, the quality and price are quite acceptable. Yes ok has a catalog with many other products, you can have quality chairs at very reasonable prices.

Buying guide for a folding chair

Going to buy a folding chair is not an easy thing. You may think that it is a piece of furniture that will not give you much trouble. But if you want one that will last you many years, that is comfortable, and that resists practically everything, you should take your time and know the characteristics that each model has.

You can not only base yourself on the price; there is more information to take into account. Exactly, we recommend the following:

use of the chair

A folding chair for a person with back problems is not the same as for a small child. Neither is a chair that is used for a few minutes to another that you have to sit for hours.

Equally, You can use a folding chair at a campsite, on a beach, at a celebration, at a family reunion…

And all this influences a lot, more if we take into account that we are talking about external events (whose inclement weather can deteriorate the chair).

Material

The material of the folding chair is essential. Imagine that you buy one that has a special cushion seat with a beautiful feather fabric. You use it outside and perfect. But one day it rains, another day the sun shines… and in the end, in less than a month, the chair that was perfect before is now horrible.

The materials to be used for folding chairs must be resistant. If possible, the best are steel and aluminum. But you could also consider them made of treated wood.

Design and style

Another aspect to consider is the style of the chair. Although almost all are the same, they can change in shape, drawing, even in the seat. For your comfort, You should choose one that has a padded back and seats, even if it has armrests better. But make it completely foldable.

Precio

Finally we come to the price. And here everything else influences, as well as the brand of the chair, if it has special characteristics, etc. But, in general, they are not too expensive products. For about 20 euros you can already find chairs in stores.

However, If you want a higher quality one, from 70-100 euros it is possible that they will not lower you.
