Compact and portable, this simple and elegant chair is made up of two interlocking pieces that can be taken apart for easy storage or transport.

When set up, the chair is sturdy, comfortable, and attractive. It easily breaks down for a trip to the beach or a little league game. Plus, it’s simple enough to build to keep several on hand for extra outdoor seating.
