18" Director Chair

I use this chair in my classroom. It is the perfect height for read alouds and allows me to be high enough for all of my students to see. It is sturdy and has held up well after several years of use.

We own a production company and studio and we have 4 of these chairs. They have held up great over the 2-3 years we've had them; however one has taken a little more wear and tear than the others and we want to get in touch with the store to inquire about ordering a replacement seat insert. one of them has torn and can no longer be sat in. the body of the chair is still in perfect condition so we would hope not to have to replace the whole chair. Can a representative help me get in touch with the store? My order customer service window has expired.

Great quality worked out great for sitting at a comic con for the weekend! Arrived safe and sound as well as on time for a last minute order.

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).

Nicely constructed. Easy assembly. I find it very comfortable and it folds away easily.

I purchased this chair in July and it fell apart at the end of August. I wish Amazon would help us get a replacement.Joel-Venture movies Studios

Good quality

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.
