America Chair
- Made by: Conran Shop
- Price: $29.00
- More Info: conranusa.com
Pros
In case you missed it, we’ll say it again: It costs $29. When folded, it’s just two inches wide: Stash a few in your closet to accommodate extra guests.
Cons
It’s engineered for durability and foldability, not long-term-sitting comfort. Plus, it might trigger unpleasant flashbacks of DMV waiting rooms and SAT testing halls. We like the matte finish, but the spray-painted surface is a bit mottled in spots.
