What Are these WSOP Event Chairs? (1 Viewer)

[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!

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.

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.
