First, the chair looks good. It appears to be of average build quality...for example one of the four chairs has developed a crack in the step. My main issue is that the chair does not fold....REALLY! It advertises as a folding chair but to fold the chair you need to remove at least one of the screws going into the step...Not very foldable!!!

I had directors' chairs previously and like the comfort and ability to collapse the chair to move or store them. I've had this chair a week or two. The height of the seat, about 24" off the floor, is very good. It is comfortable. The hinges are stiff, but I would expect that will loosen just a bit through use. However, this is not a director's chair. A real director's chair can be folded with no disassembly. The back rest might be removed in order to collapse the chair, but no tools are required. To me, the necessity of removing screws to disassemble the the foot rest means it is not collapsible. I can not remember how the foot rest on my previous chairs were attached or functioned, but the foot rest stayed with the chair. Sooner or later, those screws or the insert into which they are screwed will wear, the foot rest will not be secure. Even worse, parts can be lost. This is all unfortunate since otherwise this is a very good chair.
