I've about 5,000 sq ft of shed space plus two houses with fair sized basements. I need chairs. I figure I need about 20 (or 30). I tried plastic resin stack chairs from Walmart, they WERE about $5@ and worked well. I could easily stack them, they cleaned easily. I could put 1 or several in the FEL bucket to carry with me when I and others worked in the woods. But after about 6 years they all started to break up.
Over the same time I've had metal folding chairs, usually about $10@. Their downside was corrosion and bending. I've tried folding cloth type "camp chairs", they didn't work for me and my relatives. Our son has a teenager who's 6'3" and still growing. (I'm only 6'2").
Over the same time period I've had a "Lifetime" brand plastic folding chair. That seems to fill the bill. Very sturdy, has lasted 10 years. But I figure there are other chairs in the same price range out there.
Sams club has a variant of the Lifetime that seems pretty good (here) for $22 plus tax. And I'm testing 2 now, but I need a bunch more, 5 of Walmart resin chairs died this year.
So does the TBN community have any recommendations for something in the same price range before I buy a bunch of lifetimes?

FWIW: I bought a bunch from Costco ten years ago. A couple of drops of oil on the moving parts and they seem good as new. With all of the disruptions in supply chains, now may not be the best time for bargains.

All the best,

Peter

Try the Mighty Lite from Sams or Home Depot. We have had some for years and they hold up well. Some larger neighbors broke my other folding chairs over the years but these have a 300+ rating. They are also more comfortable than the metal ones.

A four pack at Sams is about $95.
