American Trails Extra-Wide Premium 18" Director's Chair Mission Oak Frame with Natural Canvas

I bought this to use at a local market where I was a seller, and it was amazingly useful; it's well made and sturdy, and though I had to haul myself onto the step and then into the seat every single time , the chair remained solid and I used it at every market I attended for four months. I especially needed something where I could see over my table of items to potential customers, and this was just the ticket. It was recommended by a friend, and I'm glad I took the advice; it's been a real blessing, it's lasted and still looks great, and I expect I'll use it in other places where I need to be taller!

Very good quality. Solid wood, good thick canvas. Only thing I wish is that the wood was a lighter color. Really great product. Even my large husband finds them comfortable. The hinge/latch is stiff so we’ll see what happens when I have to fold him up again...

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...

Tried to buy a pair of chairs. 1 was able to be put together. The other chair had a broken arm and the box that got delivered was also ripped. Returned that one and ordered another and this one also came broken. Hinges won’t lock and one of the poles to the seat canvas was broken as well. Chairs look great but quality seems to be lacking

Great chair and a good price.

For years now, my dad has talked wistfully about the director's chairs we used to have at my childhood home, but because he's gotten older and is much more frail, I wanted to be sure to get something sturdy, and easy for him to get in and out of. This chair fits the bill, and he loves it! I put it together in less than 15 minutes, and the most time consuming part was attaching the footrest, which, incidentally, seems to be the least stable and most wobbly part of the whole chair. The seat and backrest are wider than director's chairs traditionally are, but it's that much more comfortable for the generous seat. The canvas that comes with it, in this case, is a beautiful, deep blue, and is made of a thick and sturdy cotton duck-like weight. The wood frame is beautiful, and well crafted. I've been looking for a deal on one for myself since putting together dad's! ;-)

Beautiful chair. Love the color! Canvas slid perfectly into place. Other brands don't always go together as smoothly. Ordered another one!

Me gustó mucho esta silla para las sesiones que he hecho últimamente para profesionales. Llegó con la caja medio dañada y unos rasponsitos pero eso es culpa de la compañía de delivery (aveces no tratan muy bien los paquetes) no puedo quitarles estrellas por algo que ello no hicieron. Pueden usarla definitivamente en su estudio fotográfico @shootbymarian
