The question of where to buy foldable chairs is a very easy one to answer; they can of course be purchased almost anywhere. However if you want to get the best deal as well as the best
foldable chairs then it certainly does pay to know exactly where to look. Another aspect of where to buy foldable chairs is the exact type that you are looking for. There are a few types of foldable chairs that are designed for specific purposes and hence have characteristics that make them perfect for said purpose. Such specific foldable chairs are only sold in certain shops. I will therefore now outline all that you need to know.
The internet
This can be the best place to purchase foldable chairs of all types including special foldable chairs designed for camping or for indoor events. EBay and Amazon stock foldable chairs along with everything else for that matter and there are also many online stores that sell nothing but foldable chairs. The problem is however that depending on where you live and the type of foldable chair that you are after, the cost of postage can make the cost prohibitively high. There's not much point in saving ten dollars on a chair if delivery is going to cost you fifty after all.
The local classifieds
If you are looking to purchase second hand foldable chairs this is your best bet. As they are local delivery charges shouldn't be an issue and due to the fact that people often purchase foldable chairs planning on having barbeques and then don't bother actually having barbeques, the local classifieds very often has ads for these types of chairs.
Home and Garden Centres
These have the massive advantage that the large stores will have foldable chair and table sets on display. While this is perhaps unimportant if you intend on purchasing a cheap set, if on the other hand you intend on spending a few hundred on a set that will last a few years, seeing how they look outside of a box or catalogue is a great move. They also tend to have a very wide variety. I do however advice that you try to go when there is a sale on as the price of garden furniture usually gets slashed viciously during sales. A particularly good time is in Autumn when the last thing that is on peoples minds is a barbeque.
Camping and Hiking Stores
If you are looking for foldable chairs that are specifically designed for camping I thoroughly recommend that you go to a specialty store. There is a big market for highly lightweight foldable chairs and therefore there is a wide variety and you would be surprised at just how foldable and hence easy they are to fit into a rucksack. They also tend to come with drink holders, the importance of which anyone that has lived in a tent will be fully aware.
So in conclusion, the answer to where to buy foldable chairs is not all that complex. Provided you know where to look, they are very easy things to purchase. |
