My first chair was the tall directors chair from Pier 1. Cost about $60 five years ago. The chair was functional, but heavy. I use an aluminum directors chair now.

I use one like that right now - it works, but again, heavy. Going to be getting an aluminum one at some point!

so aluminum is the way to go?

Go to pier one, they will have the tall directors chairs, and they bring them down to $29 when on sale. This is a great first chair, and a fantastic back-up chair. The backs can so easily be replaced or painted or embroidered.

Good luck on your new chair, whatever you get.

Thanks Jenny! I will have to check it out!

I just bought two of these for $50 as I usually sit on a regular chair.

Honestly? Unless you're going to be able to get them for the $29, just save your money up for an aluminum one. I used the wooden ones for years, and they are WAY WAY WAY to heavy. Life is so much easier with the aluminum ones.

I used a wooden one for like...3 years, and I never realised how heavy it was until I got an aluminum one!!! MUCH better! I have the wood one as a back up chair now.

Defo the tubular aluminium... I've got two of them.

I have a really nice black wood one. It's hefty, but I still like it as it was customized with my Business name on it.

But I'm thinking I might get an aluminun one too for travel.
