American Trails Extra-Wide Premium 18" Director's Chair Black Frame with Hunter Green Canvas

Nice study chair. Good seat height for tall people. Comfortable wide seat.Nice black finish - hope it holds up outside and without chipping.Initial setup: could not get the hinges to fold down since the new seat canvas was too tight. Sprayed hinge with WD40 and finally able to straighten the hinge. Note - protect hand with scrap fabric since hinges will [painfully] pinch. Will not attempt to fold up for storage until the seat canvas has stretched a bit...Nit - may need to find cushion for the arm rests; zero contour...

First let me say that I like this chair a lot, I've always been a fan of director's chairs and this one's pretty nice. It's not as nice as one I used to have where the back rest was larger and actually swiveled, but oh well, that was a long time ago. I plan on using this chair as an occasional chair only in my studio apartment, and for that purpose it will be ideal. It's substantial and heavier than I thought it would be. The color of the wood seems true to the product photo, but the red canvas seating and back are pretty bright! I still like it though...What I'd like to tell you though is my experience with it straight out of the box. It was easy to set up the seat and back pieces, but I couldn't get the braces to lock in flat. Not possessing great upper body strength, I tried different approaches without success. I ended up using my rubber coated hammer handle, standing and pushing down with my whole weight on the braces. I knicked my pinky the first time, and now I have a bruise, so be careful if you have to use this method.The frame had several little knicks and mysterious tiny holes here and there, so I used a furniture scratch repair marker to disguise those. The sliders on the feet weren't to my liking as well, so I unscrewed them and replaced them with cup sliders for carpet use.All in all this is a great chair, it just needed a tweaking...

This is a lovely chair. Well built, attractive, no assembly required, roomy. And very uncomfortable. I bought it to sit in for several hours at a time. It's tall enough to make getting up easier but that means my feet did not completely touch the floor. The chair forced me to sit up straight all the time. The canvas seat cuts my thighs. Uncomfortable. The chair has been relegated to the back yard. It will make a lovely lawn chair.

So, I read the reviews. I was ready with a husband (and two supervisor cats) that could straighten out the hinges. Honestly, he looked at it for a couple seconds, said he doesn't need any tools for this. He flipped the chair on its back, put his legs/knees inside the frame to put some pressure on it (mainly to keep it in place), then pulled the hinges smoothly toward himself. My jaw dropped. The cats and I cheered. Anyways, it has non slip pads on the bottom of the legs and if you try to push straight down, it won't work.

This chair is well made and attractive. I purchased two of the wide chairs - they are very comfortable.

I was so excited about this chair but the back broke after 2 days of use!When the chair came, it looked great, was easy to assemble and was comfy to sit in. I brought it to school and enjoyed using it until the second day. I sat back and the left back poll snapped. There is no way to fix it and no way to even just use the base of the chair.When I reached out to the company about the issue they never responded.

I bought this chair because I needed something to sit on when getting ready because I have back problems! I wanted something tall enough that I could see over the counter! I love this chair, it’s been so convenient and if I’m not using it it folds up flat so storage is very easyOverall: would buy again and again and again!

The media could not be loaded.  I’m in love with this chair! I was a bit skeptical when purchasing but by far it has exceeded my expectations.I did have trouble putting it together and the metal bars that hold the legs together was definitely hard to push down, but with the help of my brother, he managed to push it down by using his shoe to press down on the metal part that way he doesn’t hurt himself. But other than that I tested out the durability by sitting on it and it held me up very well. No wobbling or anything.I’m 5’3 and the chair is just slightly a few inches from shoulder height. There is A TON of seating room if you have wide hips like me!!😅 but all in all this was a great purchase, I can’t wait to record my podcast with this chair!

Father's day gift for his Man caveHE LOVED IT

The metal brackets that hold the chair, open a stiff and sharp. If you try to use your hands to latch them, you will hurt yourself. I need to use a block of wood to push them into place.

I waited two year after purchasing to write a review because I was unsure how this would last over time.I am very impressed! I use this most weekends on set for weddings or photo shoots for hair and makeup and have never had an issue with it. I put my logo on the back rest fabric and it has held up very well.Lots of clients comment on how comfortable it is and sturdy compared to others on set as well.

These chairs have a casual elegance. They're sturdy, beautifully finished and the wider size will be comfortable for more solidly built people. Bought them as spares for our dining room or deck, as needed. The canvas is sturdy, easily washable and well sewn. We ordered the black but I plan to replace with black leather for the long-term. We bought 4 and all arrived in perfect conditon.

I was very disappointed with the chair. Firstly, we found a large crack in the wood (see photos). Putting down the secure brackets was extremely hard to do. Took two weeks to get my item. No more available at this time. Waiting for my refund to be processed.
