Take a break on the go – with folding chairs from ASMC

Folding or collapsible chairs are compact and practical. We show you what matters when it comes to choosing and using them.

What should be considered when using folding chairs?

There are no special considerations when using folding chairs. However, it doesn’t hurt to take a look at the user manual to make sure you do everything correctly when folding and maintaining the chair.

Folding chairs have a folding mechanism that allows the chair to be folded and unfolded. This design saves space and allows for quick and easy transport. The folding mechanism is usually based on a steel frame, which provides high stability. If the chair is not unfolded properly, the frame can bend quickly. Therefore, correct setup is essential.

Which folding chair is right for me?

Which folding chair you should choose initially depends on the intended area of use. While some folding chairs are quite small and low to the ground, so to speak, other models offer more space and “airier heights”. Older people, due to possible back and/or standing-up problems, should opt for folding chairs with a pronounced seat height. Younger people can also choose lower seat heights, depending on their preference.

The variety of the range gives you the option of choosing between many different color tones. In addition to black, green, and gray color elements, you can also opt for folding chairs in Flecktarn camouflage.

The folding chairs differ in particular in terms of their seat height and the size of the backrests, as well as any extra features, such as a cup holder. A large backrest offers particularly comfortable seating. Some models are a combination: for example, some backpacks come with an integrated folding chair. This design has the advantage that no additional storage space is required.

Which folding chair you choose ultimately also comes down to personal taste. If you plan to use the folding chair permanently in one place, you should opt for more robust versions. If you only want to use and transport the folding chair occasionally, you can choose more compact models.

Expert tip:

Building a Swedish chair yourself

A so-called Swedish chair also falls into the folding chair category, even though it doesn’t have much in common with classic folding chairs, as its foldability is more of a side effect.

The chairs basically consist of only two parts that are slotted together, which makes assembly and transport much easier. Since you only need simple hand tools to build them, they are ideal as a DIY project. Old boards and, for the seat, for example, old slatted frames (since they are already curved) work very well as materials, so apart from screws you hardly need to spend any money on new materials.

For the seat surface you use about 4 boards with a total width of approx. 35 cm. These are mounted on two thicker slats about 60 cm long, ideally using chipboard screws.

For the backrest, use two vertical slats of approx. 80 cm in length. The two lower cross slats should be very strong and well attached; the seat will later be slotted in between them.

The fabric covering of the backrest can be made from awning fabric, or in a pinch from another old fabric. The main thing is that it can withstand the strain.

For transport and storage, the chairs can be dismantled very easily: you simply slide the seat into the backrest and it hardly takes up any space.

This was only meant to whet your appetite for building and contained just a quick overview. 

Questions: Folding chairs

What materials are folding chairs made from?

These chairs are usually made from lightweight materials to make them easier to transport. For camping or more “stationary” uses, however, wood is also a good option. For longer trips and when you have to cover greater distances on foot, you should switch to lighter materials. Aluminum is most commonly used here, as it offers a good compromise between weight and stability. But as is often the case with field or camping cots, aluminum reinforced with steel is frequently used.
