We tried out four different models--tried them all at home and decided on the Lifetime model 2803. We returned the others and bought more 2803's because it was remarkably comfortable, felt sturdy, and looked nice. When we were paying for them I asked what the weight rating was. The cashier said 500 lbs. WOW! The cheap-o chairs manufactured in you-know-where were only 275 and 300 lbs rating. I'm so pleased to have an outstanding product made in America that I'm leaving the stickers on ours so our friends can see them. And the price was only a little more than the made-in-you-know-where look-alikes. Remember, "the bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten". Can I give these six or seven stars? (January 2016)

We have 8 of these chairs and they are our favorite folding chair. They are light and comfortable. You can sit in these for a while. I also like how easy they clean up and stay looking nice. We have had our chairs for many years. I will buy these chairs again when we need more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these chairs at a variety of places over the years (schools, churches, libraries, etc.). They are comfortable, strong, and durable. It would be nice if they had some padding on the seats if you have to sit for a long time. However, I have never had any problems with them and would recommend them to any person, family or organization that wants high quality chairs!

I have 2 of these chairs, and they are awesome. Great for all purpose use....sturdy and comfortable. When helping people at a home repair project, I take mine with me so I will have a good place to sit. And they are lightweight as well...forget those fabric fold up chairs !

Have these for over 1 yr. Love how light weight they are. I can carry easily up and down the stairs. study also/ Only draw back I can't carry 2 in each hand like metal FOLDING chairs because the back is too thick so I need to make more trips. Now is that really a draws back? More exercise on the stairs?

I love the commercial grade folding chairs. They are strong, sturdy, and comfortable. When I sit in one, I don't feel that it is going to give way or break. They support my back, too. Also, they look great, for casual or formal settings. I use them for every occassion.

We use these chairs tons and they are sturdy and comfortable. We have some knock off versions that were only a couple dollars less than Lifetime. We think Lifetime products are worth the little bit extra. Love these chairs and we plan on buying more soon.

I bought 8 of these chairs several years ago. They are easily the most comfortable folding chair I have ever sat in. They are not ridiculously small like other models, and the contour of the seat and back feel very natural. The materials are durable, and the chairs are quite light in weight. The only thing I can list as a possible negative for these chairs is that they take up a fair amount of space (for a folding chair), so this could be an issue if you have a very small space to store them in.

Bought about 50 chairs a few years ago. Been very happy with durability and comfort. Had to order feet that went missing when using the chairs in the grass. Ordered feet from Darwin. He was very responsive and professional. Highly recommend Lifetime.

This was a great 1st time experience ordering from the website. The site was quite user friendly. I received the product in a timely manner. The product itself was just as described. The workmanship was wonderful and the chosen material makes for an easy cleanup. It's a great chair for both indoor and outdoor use and the weight make it easy to handle and store should the need arise. I would recommend this chair for anyone looking for a lite weight easy clean chair.
