Mity-Lite Flex One Folding Chair, 18-8 Steel, Black, 4-Pack

Good

I am pretty reserved in my recommendations, but I unequivocally say buy this chair if you are looking for a folding chair, or even just a comfortable chair. It's not just a great chair--it's affordable for buying a dining set, a classroom, or a meeting-hall's worth.This is the best folding chair I have ever sat on. It is more comfortable than most dining chairs, and far better than most assembly hall or banquet chairs, etc. The flexible plastic "mesh" (plastic panels with holes) seat and back are very comfortable and ventilated if it is warm. Easy to clean also--no stains like on a padded seat. Honestly, I don't like padded chairs. And, of course, much better than any hard plastic or steel seat/back. Back is very supportive, even though it doesn't have any lower (lumbar) portion (normal for a folding chair). I'm 5'-11" 200ish pounds, for reference.They look nice, with clean lines and everything finished. The bars are not modest-diameter ovals (so look graceful), and the chair feels completely sturdy and durable. I've had these for 4 years, with occasional use, and everything has held-up. Plastic is still flexible, no cracking, etc.Look around, this chair is sold under some other store brand names, although this seems to be best price. Individual chairs, or different color combos other than basic black, etc., are often more expensive per chair. Few other folding chairs you can get at this price, and no other folding/stacking chair is as nice. Well, maybe the more fancy versions MityLite makes, with fabric over the back and seat, etc., are nicer, but never seen those in person, and not necessary for what most people need in a chair.

I just can't believe how much more comfortable and durable these chairs are in relation to standard folding chairs. And I can gain a bunch of weight as well since they will hold up to a remarkable 1,000 pounds!

I bought four of these chairs about 10 years ago! Today they are still perfect. Everyone loves sitting in them as they are very comfortable, and they look good too! I just bought 4 more, and my sister in law bought 8. I think they will last forever. We use them for card playing, extra chairs at the dinner table, extra seating when company comes! They are one of the best products I have ever bought!

These are very comfortable (even padded folding chairs don't compare, but that's really not much competition). Just don't stand on them (I'm always tempted to, but never have)... they feel like your foot would bust right though. It may not, but I don't want to test that. Use it for it's purpose, sitting, and it's great. They also look a ton nicer in person that a regular folding chair.As long as the plastic seat doesn't get brittle over time, I imagine they will hold up. I would give it 5 stars if they remain their initial quality over time/use. But I haven't had them long, and don't use them that frequently, so I'd have to give it a lot more time before commenting on those features. But assuming it does hold up, they are the best folding chairs I've tried.They do seem slightly wider and shorter than your average folding chair. This is not a positive or negative, just an observation (maybe slightly a positive, as wider is more comfortable, and I'm tall for the height difference, but it isn't different enough to impact comfort). They are in the ballpark of a normal folding chair that you probably wouldn't notice unless you were critically examining the chairs. I've tried them next to a normal cloth padded chair, and I don't feel mixing and matching will create an awkward situation of variable chair dimensions (maybe just a visual style awkwardness, but you can see that for yourself).

Our small screening area has used these chairs for many years with no complaints from anyone. They have a little give in the seats and backs, which is the key to their comfortability. They are light enough to be taken down easily but sturdy enough to not be damaged over years of use. We just boughtanother eight of them to bring our total to 40 seats in all. I also think they are far more aesthetically pleasing than most inexpensive folding chairs. I strongly recommend them.

If you have a bad back & are looking for a folding chair this is it. I looked & looked & read all the reviews I could find. My office chair has similar looking material so when I saw these I had high hopes. While it might not be as comfortable as my really nice office chair, for a folding chair this is fantastic. Previously, I had a set of 4 folding chairs w/ a card table that I considered pretty nice - after receiving these I will never use those again. These are wonderful. I read a review that someone uses this to sit in for 8 hours + day - I don't recommend sitting in any folding chair even this one that is more comfortable than most - not good for your back - I'd recommend an actual chair if your intent is to sit for more than 8 hours per day. However, I could see sitting in these comfortably for long durations. I sat in one yesterday off & on for probably a total of 2.5 hours & was very pleased. The seat is pre-made to contour & this means no stiff seat! That alone is the reason these are great. Interestingly, these allow you to recline/lean back very nicely....kind of like a patio chair. I was looking for a chair that was portable, comfortable, high quality, great price, and this is meets all of those needs. I wanted to be able to have a chair I could move around to be in front of my desk, on the deck/patio, etc & am very happy w/ this purchase.Again, I have a very bad back & am very picky on chairs. I am very happy w/ these chairs & wish I would have found them a long time ago. The price is great for the high quality you get (including shipping & no tax). I would definitely buy again. And, these are made in the USA!!!
