Extra-Wide Premium 18" Directors Chair

Nice mid tier quality. Solid wood good, sturdy for larger bodies. Not too short, not too tall height. Some dings on the wood from manufacturing but I will also put dings in from use so it wasn't a problem for me. I bought three. All easy to add the canvas to the frame, no other assembly required. Recommend.

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!

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...

There are some design deficiencies that anyone considering these chairs should consider. As a frame of reference, I have had two other director's style chairs for about 25 years. They came from suppliers in Los Angeles who provide for the movie industry. One of those chairs is the 24" "make-up chair" height. There are two pluses for this Amazon product: it's price; and it being oak. But other factors render it inferior. The first thing one will notice once it's assembled is that the foot rest is permanent, not hinged. This renders the chair unable to be folded without removing the foot rest. The hardware used for that foot rest is not heavy-duty. I weigh 205 pounds and can stand on the foot rest of my old oak chair with zero stress because the hinge bolt is probably 3/8" steel! You wouldn't dare try that on this product's foot rest. The next two issues work together to make this a very uncomfortable chair. The back legs seem to be longer/taller than the front legs which makes the seat tilted forward (front edge low). The vertical members that the fabric back spans are set at the wrong aft angle/pitch. They are almost vertical rather than the roughly 4-5 degree reclined pitch on high quality chairs. A well-designed directors chair is superbly comfortable because the seat is level or slightly pitched aft, and the back is also pitched back so there is a mild recline. These chairs have neither, and therefore make you feel like you are being pitched out of the chair. You cannot "settle in." If the manufacturer overcame these issues, it would be a great product for the price. Amazon highly cooperative on the return.

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...

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! ;-)

Great chair and a good price.

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

Great chair!

I have been looking for a chair for my work bench that was not too heavy to move around - this fit the bill. When not needed it also with little effort can be made to take less space

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.

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.

llego en tiempo y forma, no es muy alta como otras sillas, pero es muy bonita, excelentes detalles y presentación, pintura, y piezas excelentes, me encantó.
