Thoughts on patio chairs? (1 Viewer)

[vanislander]

I'm currently using folding chairs. They're not bad but... they're folding chairs. My poker space is also my woodworking shop/office so space is at a premium. There's also a sauna and after the heat it's nice to come cooldown in the shop. This is where I'm not a fan of the fabric folding chairs. My thought is to make the lateral move to patio chairs. Metal frame w plastic/synthetic webbing. The draw for me is it's not porous, so not only will my post sauna sweat not soak in, if it does get funky I can pressure wash them AND store them outside when not in use.

Is there a massive downside to this type of chair that I'm missing? I have a few already for the deck/yard, so I'm going to try them out at the next game and see how the players like them. I thought i would put it out to the group in case someone has already been down this road.

I never liked arm rests on chairs at the table. It just made it more difficult for players to get up. That may be mitigated by sliding back on a concrete floor, though.

You can always add seat cushions (and maybe back cushions) when it's time to play cards.

I'm for 'em. Nothing tests a fat man's courage like patio furniture.
