What chairs are these? Any good? Worthwhile? (1 Viewer)

Not familiar with Gassers or Majestic...or any of these. Not sure how to recognize them or decide whether the chair is good or not.
More cushion seems better than not. This guy has all + reviews, but none recently...

Good chairs?

In the item description, it says they are Gassers. Definitely seen them cheaper in other threads, I wonder how negotiable he/she is. They certainly have a lot of them.

Ha...I read the description, not the details.
Thanks!

I've seen them cheaper too, but not as close to me.

There have been many listings from this eBay user and location in the $15 to $20 range. I would try to deal with them.

Anyone know if I could fit 9 of these in a Honda CR-V with the rear seats down?

I have a CRV and think ‘maybe’. It would be close but I think you could do it with a little imagination.

The best way I've found is that Gasser (or Gasser type chairs) have the front legs directly under the seat (not off to the side) and stick out away from the front of the seat a little bit. When they are stacked on each other for storage, the front legs of the top chair get stacked in front of the cushion of the chair below it.

The main benefit of the Gasser stacking design is that the chair backs are more upright this way, and way more comfortable in my opinion, (and the gasser backs also flex/rock a little bit), versus other stacking chairs where the chair backs are more of a \-shaped incline to the seat back and are typically rigid (they don't flex). I hate those chairs for extended sitting.

Also, the seat cushion is a good 3" (?) or so, and made of more sturdy foam that lasts a while, and is much more comfortable for extended periods of sitting

The gassers will typically stack fewer chairs vertically.

I was just looking at the other link and chairs above, and while the metal legs and frames are on the sides on this model, the way the seat back attaches to the chair bottom looks a lot like the gasser flex-back chair connection. These might be comfortable as well, and appear to have a flex back. (could even be Gasser, too??)
