Seems like a deal for these... (4 Viewers)

[longflop]

I've got two tables that seat 18 for my monthly poker games. I've got 6 nice high back chairs, but the rest are just folding metal. I found this on craigslist.

It looks like I should be about to get them for $8 per chair. What do you guys think? Should I hold out for a better chair at a similar price? Looks like a solid chair.

 

[longflop]

found another one that looks to be more padded.

Either would be an upgrade from folding chairs, but for the price I'd hold out for better. It's been my experience that a flex back chair and at least three inches of foam I'd what you'd want. I found 20 year old Gasser Chairs on Craigslist for $20 each. Light years better than the folding chairs I used prior. These have 4" foam seats and even after 6 hours no sore or numb ass. The flex back is nice as well. Ugly as shit, but comfy. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[longflop]

That would be ideal. I don't care about the looks, and I don't think the guys do either. The goal is always to avoid the numb ass.

A question I forgot to ask, are those stackable? That is a big need for space reasons.When games aren't played, the poker room gets converted back to guest room/play room.

Not a bad deal.

I second any chair with the flex back feature. I picked these up locally from Craigslist for $10/chair and could not be happier. Deals are out there if you have the time.

Yes - I stack them 5 high.

that's huge, now I know what I am looking for. I'm gonna hold out for the good ones.

Yes, you cannot go wrong with Gasser or Gasser type chairs!

 

[longflop]

Found a great deal.

$5 per chair, $60 for the dozen I need, they look to have good padding, not sure about the flex back, but for this price I'm taking a flier. Picking them up tomorrow.

 

[EventHorizonVII]

Not a bad deal at all. All look to be non flex but that's okay!

Miss Maryland have to go back sometime

Wait until the summer, that way you can deal with the oppressive humidity as opposed to the bone chilling cold.

How many did you get, and are there any still available?

I want to get a dozen. the guy just emailed me saying that they ran out of the blue and white chairs and all they have left is blue and brown. I don't really care about color as long as they are in decent shape and comfortable. I'm supposed to pick them up at 1, I'll let you know how many they have left.

How many do you need? I could give the guy a heads up that someone might get in touch with him.

... 20 ish....

I like the ones that have more cushion on them (in the right of the picture). if they have the metal on the sides, like the ones on the left, I would think they would be uncomfortable.

Those are my thoughts exactly. Hopefully I'm not driving down there for nothing.

Did you get the chairs??

[longflop]

in true craigslist fashion the guy didn't respond until about 10 that night when he told me that they were all gone.

Still on the hun!

Saw these today... They're not Gasser's... They're also located in NJ but come up on Detroit craigslist.

https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/fuo/d/burgundy-metal-frame/6465588380.html

$22 each, padding not nearly 4", not flex back. A decent looking chair, but not much for the price. And keeping them clean could be a problem.

I saw those too, they came up on the Baltimore craigslist. that looked similar to the chair I was going to get, but I was going to get them for $5 per chair. $60 for 12 chairs allows them to be a stopgap until I find a better chair.

 

[krafticus]

Not sure of the quality, but this isn't terrible...

[longflop]

I saw those and they would be comfortable, but when its not poker night, the room converts back to the guest bedroom, so I need whatever chairs I get to be stackable. Tables fold up and chairs get stacked and I don't get divorced.

 

[krafticus]

Saw these today... not sure if that is a good deal, or would be comfortable at the poker table? Thoughts?
