Casual Home 18" Director's Chair Natural Frame with Black Canvas

Got a great deal on mine and I needed a chair that could be stowed when space was needed. This fit the bill perfectly. I was concerned that the fabric seat would rise on the sides too much and feel awkward but it is taut enough where that doesn't seem to be the case. I also like that replacement canvas is available and easy to install so you can change colors as needed. I have my doubts about this as a chair that you can really lean back in and relax with as the fabric back wants to collapse some but sitting upright at a table is just fine. I have no regrets as that is what I bought it for. It is as comfortable as a director's chair could be. My only criticism would be that the foot rest screws in place and prevents you from folding the chair and putting it away. It requires you to unscrew the two screws that hold the foot rest in place to fold it. And for me the foot rest is a must have. Maybe I'll try to find some wing bolts to use instead. Also, the arm rests are just wood so one upgrade I made was to purchase some inexpensive armrest pads that fasten on with velcro. That made a big difference and is a low cost upgrade.

this is such a cute chair!!!! i used it for one of my clients for a photography session and it turned out amazing! the chair is a little shorter than i thought it’d be but it worked out.

This directors chair is perfect if you are keeping it in your home. If you are looking for one to travel with this design is very hard to fold up because you will have to unscrew the foot rest every time yo fold it up. The hinges that lock to keep the chair open are extremely sturdy so much so that it was pretty hard for me (30 years old and in good shape) to get the hinges all the way opened to lock. The chair does look amazing and the quality is superb. Its very sturdy and quite comfortable to sit in.

Some assembly is required, namely sliding the edges of the fabric seat into the grooves in the frame. It took less than a minute to put together, and included instructions if you need them. It has some nice touches: Sturdy brass-ish hardware, non-marking feet to protect the floor, smooth even finish, relatively lightweight wood. The seat is 18" from the floor, and gives you a 17" wide by 13" deep sitting area. The outside dimensions of the chair are 22" wide x 16" deep x 34" tall at the highest part of the back. Armrests are about 25" off the floor, aka 7" up from the seat. When all folded up, it measures 8.5" wide by 16" deep by 26" high. The only flimsiness I've noticed is that the wooden pieces supporting the back bend inward slightly when I lean back against the backrest, which is to be expected of any director-style chair. I weigh 125lbs and it doesn't move at all when I sit down on it. I imagine, though, that the wooden bars at the base of each armrest might not be comfortable for someone who takes up more than 17" of horizontal space when sitting. The seat looks really wide because of how the chair is proportioned, but actually I have less than 1" of room either side of me when sitting in it and I'm not exactly a large person. The points which I'd expect to wear out first are the seams of the seat and back (they're sewn with unusually long stitches and little reinforcement) and the arm rests (there's a tiny gap visible where each wooden piece fits into the others and I'm not sure how well they're glued).

Really loved the ease of assembly and the sturdiness these chairs offer. They are great to place behind a couch as their height makes them tall enough to see over people seated, which is great for game day or movie gatherings. They also work well for quick additional seating. We have an apartment space and we like to bring them around our kitchen bar/island for additional seating. Guests seem to love telling stories from the “director’s” chair too. While, once you attach the foot rest, they are NOT foldable, I still Highly recommend them.

I work in the film industry and wanted one of these for my home use- I was ok spending a little less since I knew I wasn't going to be throwing it around constantly. It arrived fairly quickly, but now I understand why the quality ones sell for four times as much. The soft pine used for construction is super weak. The very first time I sat down in this chair the back piece broke and I nearly toppled over. You can see in this picture where the seatback post split. Not sure if I got a dud but you get what you pay for. I'm not a small guy, but not a huge guy either. I'll be returning it and spending a bit more for a name brand that will last me 30 years instead of 5 seconds.

Excellent quality, easy to ensemble, perfect size and great price …

The chair seems sturdy enough, but the quality isn't the best. There's a crack in one of the back supports and the finish has a few spots where it's chipping off. It's also annoying that you have to take the bolts off the footrest to collapse the chair. I've contemplated returning it, but too many returns get thrown out.

Very prompt delivery and good quality product. Extremely pleased
