What Are these WSOP Event Chairs? (2 Viewers)

[ChipTalker]

Had a buddy send a pic from a WSOP event
When looking at the pic I was searching trying to figure out what chairs these are.
I like the thick padding and back on a folding chair like that.
I cannot seem to find any info so wondering if any of you super sleuths know what they are.

Thanks,

Sorry for Pic quality

I played this event — those chairs are indeed very comfortable for long tourneys. They don’t look like anything special but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they were.

I got the name off the back; they appear to be this model, but the company makes many other seats. Seems to specialize in customization for sports fans / arenas. $150/each.

Those look awesome! Doesn’t seem like an exact match on the website but if you grabbed the name brand that’s them!

 

[ChipTalker]

Awesome info, thx. I agree it is the brand but the back looks more substantial in the wsop pics. But you were there so you tell me how the back was?

We should probably reach out to the company. I’m definitely interested in in a pair.

I like the photo of the back you provided @ChipTalker. Great job grabbing the details @Taghkanic

The backs were pretty substantial, for folding chairs anyway. As I said, they have several models, hard to say which one this was.

They look like these from specseatshop:

Scroll down this page, there’s a number of similar models:

Yes that is them, good find. Was hard to find in their website.

This model is different in that it has a slot and seam in the middle of the seatback. The ones at Turning Stone were smooth all across their face. It’s possible TS/WSOP had an earlier version.

Or 1 of the other mdels.

That’s closer, except theirs didn’t have those vertical seams/stitching.

In any case, I can vouch that this company makes really comfortable folding chairs. If I hadn’t just made a different investment in chairs, I’d order some.

Did anyone ever get these?
I reached out yesterday to get a quote on 9 of these...
I'm guessing if those other ones are $150...these will go for at least $200/chair.
I'll update this as soon as I hear back...most likely Monday.

Looks like there might be an option for wheels too. Would be helpful on a 29 pound chair.

 

[doublebooyah85]

These were nice forgot about them

 

[Taghkanic]

If I hadn’t sat in them for several days straight I wouldn’t have given these a second look. They appear like fairly ordinary cushioned folding chairs, but were infinitely more comfortable.

Would be interested to hear if anyone gets a quote. I kinda have my forever chairs already, but might still be interested if I ever resume hosting tourneys.

I’ll probably be going to the same Circuit event in a few weeks, and will be on the lookout if these are used again. Not sure if they belonged to Turning Stone or if WSOP ships them around to different events.

What’s the extra paneling for? Stability?

Time for a chair group buy

 

[cpac54]

These chairs look baller. Wonder if there's a European distributor or something similar over here.

I bet it’s security. When you you place your bag under your seat, someone can’t grab it from the row behind when you’re not looking.

 

[ChipTalker]

I Would love them but I can't see myself paying whatever absurd price I'm sure they cost.

I would have never thought of this. I'm apparently way too honest (or naive), lol.

I’m a retired bag thief. These panels ruined my career.

Oh I like the look of these. I was looking at the other Alibaba gassers, but I don’t really have the permanent space available when not in use for those.

I’ve had these relatively cheap HDX chairs from Home Depot for years, these Spec seats look like a solid and comfy step up though:

Defo interested in feedback and thoughts - thanks.

I was looking through their brocure/info. These are called ‘kickplates’. Think if you’ve got rows of event seating it prevents the person sitting behind you from sticking their feet under your seat into your bag/storage space

I sent Phil from sales an email about prices for the PS100W-S (the chairs from WSOP) as well as a few of the others from their luxury line.

I'll let everyone know if there's a minimum order that has to be met if you're serious about a group buy.

Even @ $200/chair it's a lot cheaper than the $350+/chair options they have on casino gaming supplies, gorilla, etc.

Their office also happens to be about 30min away from me and if I can go visit them in person or buy chairs direct from their warehouse...I'm asking about that too!

I'll update on Monday or Tuesday.

Out of interest where did you see the $200 per chair? Couldn’t find much online, only seen $590+

Typed out of turn...
That is hope and dream talk from previous convo. I hope that it's around $200...
We know that the simple folding chair from beginning of thread was $150.

These chairs could be $500/chair for all we know.

That's why I emailed Phil for a quote for 10 chairs for a couple of the different versions in the luxury line and I'll see what he says.

Sorry for the misleading info! My bad.

First time I've seen this thread.

I ran into these seats at Chase Center and absolutely loved them so I took a pic of the back

I got a quote from a sales rep but i can't find it at the moment. After shipping I believe they were over $250. I love them but you're basically paying for their ability to fold. If you don't need that feature you can find similar chairs for cheaper. They do seem pretty sturdy & eventually want to get some

Cool, no worries. Will wait and see, thanks for sharing and taking the lead.
