Executive VIP Tall Directors Chair with Folding Side Table

PROS 1. Very comfortable. 2. Sturdy. 3. Well made, looks like it will last a while (according to my father, who is an engineer). CONS 1. I am unable to open and close it by myself. (Solution: 2 people can open/close it fairly easily.) 2. Foot rest mildly uncomfortable when sitting for long periods (6+ hours). (Solution: I cut a pool noodle and put it on the footrest bar - super comfortable now.) 3. Other reviewers mentioned the seat rips over time. (Solution: I am careful not to place too much weight on the front edge of the seat when sitting or standing. I use my arms to lift/lower myself rather than sliding on/off the edge of the chair. Bonus: it's good arm exercise! Tip: if you are on the short side, as I am, try using a folding step stool (I got mine from Dollar Tree). It makes it easy to get in/out of this chair.) OVERALL I LOVE THIS CHAIR! I didn't want to invest too much money into a chair that I use for events because I tend to be rough on things. I did a lot of research, discussed various chair designs with my engineer father, and came to the conclusion that this chair looked well made and like it would last for a while (even around me LOL). Shipping was fairly fast, the item was well packaged - the box was a bit beat up, but the chair was in excellent condition. I was happily surprised when it arrived. Although, I am unable to open/close the chair by myself, I am SO GLAD I purchased the chair. It is well designed and surprisingly comfortable. I actually prefer sitting in it to my other chairs at work. It's lightweight and easy to move, but sturdy and doesn't wobble when sitting/moving around in the seat. Although the price was a bit more than I wanted to pay, for the quality and comfort this chair provides, I would rather pay a bit more for a chair that is comfortable and going to last years, rather than purchase a cheaper chair that will need to be repeatedly replaced. Additionally, I saved the shipping box, taped up the damaged areas, and added handles to the box. This way I can use the box as an added layer of protection while transporting the chair to/from events. Overall, I LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!

This is the perfect chair for a freelance makeup artist as myself. I can't believe it took me so long to finally invest in a director's chair. This chair has completely changed the way I do makeup for my clients. I'm not having to hunch over anymore, therefore, my back isn't in pain. The chair itself is very sturdy. It may seem a little high but I guarantee you, it's not. I'm 5'7" and my partner is 5'1" and the chair works for the both of us as artists. The fold out table on the side is great for clients to rest their drinks or phone on as well as for us to leave a few tools in between use. The foot rest is a plus for the clients. My clients love being able to rest their legs on the foot rest adding to the comfort level. The chair can definitely hold some weight. My heaviest client was well over 250 lbs and she sat comfortably. The only real "complaint" is that it was a little hard to pull out at the beginning but that adds to the sturdiness of the chair. My order came with the carrying case and I would highly recommend anyone to get the carrying case if you can. It makes transporting the chair that much easier. Albeit, it's not a must. My friend didn't get the carrying case and she's fine with it. Lastly, For hair, the chair can be a little too tall....

High quality makeup chair. The height is great for me because I'm 5'9 so I like the taller chairs. Easy to fold and is light weight for travel. Has held up great with tons of use and travel. Plus it's very comfortable for my clients. I also love that it has a side table.

I like the fact that it's sturdy and it's tall, being that I'm 5'7 and it has helped my back tremendously. IYKYK! Also, I love the side pockets it has to put trash in or hold makeup brushes as you're doing makeup and the pull-out table to place a drink on or hold makeup palettes as well! Overall a great purchase and worth its bucks! The only thing I dislike is that it's hard to open and fold back up, being that as mentioned, veryyyy sturdy!

i love this chair. i've been researching director chairs for a while now, and as a makeup artist, it's so important to have the right equipment to work effectively. i didn't realize there were different models of tall aluminum director's chairs like "heavy duty". i'm so happy i bought this. it saves my back. looks super professional. has that "expensive appeal". is extremely sturdy. the weight capacity is huge (no pun intended). it's comfy. folds up for easy portability and storage. the price is a STEAL & standard shipping was free. i received my package way earlier than i expected. i'm so glad i waited & researched before i bought just any old chair. i recommend this chair for all makeup artists. the little side table & extra pockets are super convenient. if you're serious about your work & making a lasting impression, invest in this chair. the seat height is about 31 inches from the ground. which is perfect for me. im 5'8.....i would say if you're shorter than 5'3, you might have to wear heels to comfortably reach your client's face. [Oct 2013 edit starts here] it is now two years later and I still love this chair. for you hair stylists out there, it's too tall to do the top of the head. people are still super impressed that i whip it out even when i'm working from home. weight capacity: 375 lbs chair weight: 16 lbs dimensions: 44H"x21Wx20D folded dimensions: 44H"x7Wx23d seat height: 31"

This chair is so great! I'm a makeup artist and about 5'4, this chair is perfect for clients. It is sturdy, roomy, comfortable, and light so you can easily transport it. The side pouches are perfect for storing my used brushes so they don't mix in with the clean ones. The canvas material is heavy and doesn't look cheap. The tray is a BIG hit with clients since they almost always have something they're sipping on; it's really sturdy as well. Very quality chair, so glad I bought this one.

this was a little taller than I thought. My husband has trouble getting out of regular camping chairs, so needed a taller one. We will have to cut the end of the legs off.
