Director chairs!

Are director's chairs more comfortable than regular chairs?? Forgive my naievity....what is the benefit of them for facepainting? (by the way, I love the color/design of those chairs...really cool!)

They're better for your back....
I have serious back problems, and my doctor suggested putting the kids in a high chair and standing up to paint faces...
If not, I would have to stop painting....

I was skeptical at first, but bought a ez-up tall director's chair, and I love it! My back holds out great, and kids can climb on the chair without my help. When they're done I just take their hands in mine, and let them jump off, so I never have to lift a kid.

Oh, and I don't know about these wooden chairs, but the ez-up one I gave is very lightweight, so I can get everything I need on a job in one run...

So you stand the entire time??? I never realized painters did that...I just assumed you sit! lol shows what I know (and DON"T know!!) Thanks for the info!

I stood to face paint every day, six hours a day, for 18 days straight at the Canadian National Exhibition.
I have a disc that is trying to herniate in my back.
My back was fabulous during the whole event.
I put a pillow on the director's chair, and the child is pushed more forward toward me. I can also get the child to lay down if they are too twitchy.
My back thanks me for standing instead of sitting and hunching forward.

I'm a sitter. I use something just like this with a pillow for my back:



I use the exact same chair for my customer, too. I have a booster cushion if it's a particularly small child.

I have back problems, but never with this chair and the pillow behind me. It's when I have to pack up all my crap that my back will get irritated.
