I liked these chairs enough to buy bulk. We intend to use these chairs for our youth room at church, which means we need multi purpose, sturdy chairs that can be picked up and taken outside/inside easily, easy to clean and won't show stains. These chairs do all of the above. I do need to register one complaint that seems simple enough to fix for Mity Lite. This was enough of a bother to me to consider repurchasing these chairs. A Green sticker comes on the front side of the chair back rest. That green sticker is really difficult to get off of the chair, even if you peel it away carefully and slowly. I purchased the bulk 40 count of the chairs and have to go through each individual chair, scraping off sticker residue (picture included). It just kind've lessens the excitement of a new purchase to have to scrape it meticulously. If you guys could figure this out - you'd have a great product and a 5 star review from me.

This thing is great. After growing tired of replacing traditional adjustable, swiveling office style chairs when they start to wear out after a few months (start creaking, making cracking noises etc) I bought the realizing that I don't need any of the features that cause the more expensive and traditional desk chairs to wear out. The silence from almost no moving parts remains after a year. I did manage to break one of the bottoms but then again I was standing on it and generally acting foolishly. The interesting thing is that after splitting the bottom open it is still usable and possibly even more comfortable. Can't go wrong here, just don't stand on it with one foot (it is quite obviously not designed for this).

This Mity Lite Flex One Folding chair was in use when it broke without warning, causing the seat to partially give away. The chair was used intermittently in little over a year. The chair is rated at a whopping 1,000 pounds; needless to say the occupants of the chair were never anywhere close to that kind of weight limit. This is a comfortable folding chair — until it breaks. A picture has been submitted with this review to demonstrate the failure that occurred. To Sam's Club credit, customer service issued a full refund even though the chair was beyond the typical return period at the time it failed under normal usage. Upon closer inspection prior to return, there was not just one major break but numerous cracks running through the perforated/latticed seat. Honestly, the manufacturer ought to consider a recall.

Our organization has purchased 120 of these chairs just a little over a year ago. I am currently looking to replace them. Of those 120 chairs I have thrown out probably 25 or more, over 20%. Yes, they are lightweight, but the reason is that the seats and back are kind of a soft plastic grid. Consequently, the seat literally tears. It rips from hole to hole like you were tearing a piece of Swiss cheese. Once this happens there is nothing you can do with them except throw them out. It's usually the seat that tears, but I've had a couple where the back has torn.

This is a remarkable new style of chair design. It is very strong and the company advertises it supports over 1000 lbs. Hubby and I don't weigh near that much, but we do present a major challenge to ordinary casual furniture. Plus, the old metal seats on chairs are hard to sit on - this new chair has a "hammock" type of seat pan. The chair is indeed strong and we both felt secure when sitting in ours. At the low price, we can use it for picnics, fishing, outdoor activities. The chairs also look good enough to serve indoors too. We also went back and bought some to give family members.

Being a bridge player, I've sat numerous times in folding chairs at a card table. Most of these chairs have a hard seat. Even when they don't, the angle of the back support is askew. The Flex One folding chair stands apart from most others in being comfortable. The flexible, diamond pattern black plastic is the key. These chairs subtly adjust to the shape of your body for a contour fit. Don't be fooled into thinking plastic means cheap or weak. These chairs are both rugged and good looking.

I was unsure of these chairs because they were so reasonably priced. They look like wrought iron so they are much more attractive than I thought. Everyone who sits in one of these chairs comments on how comfortable it is. I highly recommend these chairs.

My husband and I were looking for a couple of folding chairs to take to a picnic. Because my husband weighs over 300 pounds, we have to be aware of the weight limits on chairs. We saw one of these chairs, and I thought I was seeing things when it stated, on the tag, that the chair would "support 1,000 pounds." I lifted one, and it was light. I unfolded it and sat in it, and it was quite comfortable. Then we gave it the "husband" test, and my husband sat in it. Not only did it hold him; it felt comfortable to him, too. The legs are steel, and the seat and back are wide and pliant. We bought two on the spot, then we ordered four more. I actually brought one of the chairs to my office and had various people sit in it. It seems too good to be true - and to top it off, each chair has a 10-year warranty. I have told everyone about these chairs. They are fantastic and look nice enough to use for any occasion. We will be buying more and will continue recommending them!

LOVE this chair! Lightweight, reasonable, great indoors/outdoors.

Comfortable, sturdy folding chair. Great investment for our adult classroom.
