About
A folding chair is a lightweight, collapsible seat that stands roughly waist-high when set up for use.
When opened, this chair takes up about the same floor space as a small side table or nightstand. Folding it flat reduces its depth to just two or three inches, which allows several chairs to store in a narrow closet. While basic steel and plastic models stay near eight pounds, heavy-duty padded versions can weigh slightly more and pack less tightly.
From Wikipedia
A folding chair is a type of folding furniture, a light, portable chair that folds flat or to a smaller size.
