[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to see these chairs in person when they arrived. They are very well-made, sturdy, and nice looking. But the best feature of all in my opinion is the comfort. These are built very ergonomically. I didn't do enough research to know what the padding is made from, but it's very dense - not like some chairs where you feel the hard bottom of the chair through the padding. The chair seat is nice and wide - comfortable for people of all sizes. I set these chairs up next to one of my other folding chairs from another leading brand (mitylite), and noticed right away that the seat is significantly wider and you can tell by looking that the lifetime chair will be more comfortable (see pictures), and it is. The padding on the other chair looks thicker, and does sit slightly taller, but it is not as dense as the lifetime chair and does not provide as much comfort. Another feature on this chair that we really like is the handle notch cut out in the back of the chair (see pictures). Both my husband's large hands, my small hands, and my children's (ages 13 and 11) smaller hands can all move the chairs around with ease. They are not too heavy at all, and the handle notch is very sufficient to grip them easily while you still have a full back support with no holes in it from the front (which I also think makes them look nicer). My younger children (ages 9 and 6) aren't tall enough to make use of the handle notch, but they can grab a chair with two hands and move it around easily as well - they are nice and lightweight. The pads at the bottom of the chair seem very durable which I appreciate as I'm sure these will often be set up in my kitchen. I believe the feet of the chairs will protect my hardwood floors very well. It also seems like the chair padding will be very stain resistant. We haven't spilled anything on them yet, and I didn't have the heart to do it on purpose. However, being a mom of 4 who has tried to get many stains out of many different fabrics, I believe this is a well built fabric that will resist stains and clean easily by the feel of it. I'll update my review if I find anything different as we use them. Overall we are completely happy with these folding chairs - definitely recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very comfortable and attractive. I weigh 275 pounds, and after a while, I forget I'm sitting on folding chairs. This is an extremely sturdy and comfortable find. I'm very happy with this solid Lifetime purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These chairs are the perfect mix of comfort and sturdy. We've been looking for new folding chairs that could replace our old ones. The padding adds comfort without being too soft and the structure is holding up well to the use by all ages and levels of care.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these Lifetime padded folding chairs! The back is firm, curved, and slightly reclined, and the padded seat is wide and much firmer than I expected. This makes the chairs comfortable for eating or playing games around a table. I use them inside and outside. I also have one at my computer, where I usually prefer a chair with a straighter back, but the firm padding allows me to sit up comfortably for a long period of time. (However, a few family members have said they would prefer it if the chair didn't recline quite as much as it does.) I think they would be particularly ideal for large group meetings, as the slight recline keeps the user looking up and forward. The chairs stack neatly together so they don't take much space to store, and I can fit four into my car quite easily. The notch on the back makes them easy to carry. The rubber tips on the legs protect the floor and do not slide around, and the chairs feel substantial and secure. The fabric on the seat is great—I poured water on it and it immediately beaded up and did not soak through to the padding. I am sure they will last many years—I recognize that almost indestructible combination of lightweight materials that Lifetime uses in its products. Great chairs!

Excellent style, quality, and feel. Very happy with the purchase.

We are so happy with this set of (4) LifeTime folding chairs. They are commercial grade quality, good looking, extremely comfortable, larger than other folding chairs, easily carried, stack very compact, warranted for 5 years, and were super low priced at 147.57 for the gray model 480436 (compared to 209.15 for the black model 480621). Note: both colors sell for 230 on LifeTime.

Got these for Christmas Eve dinner and wanted some padded seats to add to the other Lifetime chairs we own. Some of the older folk joining us had a more comfortable seat to sit on. Amazing chairs - same great quality and performance as other chairs from Lifetime. They came quickly and were packed well (in plastic bags) inside a box. We are sure to enjoy these for years to come.

These chairs are sturdy and the padding is firm. It doesn't seem like it will mash down easily. They are also a good size for slightly larger people. The biggest issue with them is that they don't sit flat. The back of the seat is lower than the front, so you are slightly reclined. Not idea for game night or extra seating for dinner.
