Folding Chair
The folding chair trades permanent presence for portable utility—when unneeded, it stores flat in minimal space. From utilitarian metal models to elegant designer versions, folding chairs solve the perennial problem of occasional seating needs without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Quality has improved dramatically from the simple metal folders of past decades. Today's folding chairs include cushioned seats, attractive finishes, and ergonomic designs that rival permanent seating in comfort.

Placement & Usage Tips
Store folding chairs where they're easily accessible but hidden—closets, garage walls, or under beds. For events, set chairs 6 inches apart for comfortable spacing.
💡 Pro Tip
Invest in quality for frequently-used folding chairs. Better mechanisms last longer and operate more smoothly. For entertaining, coordinated sets look more polished than mismatched collections.
