Newport 30-in. Bar Height Directors Chair

Exactly what I expected. Great red color to the canvas and the frames are beautiful with the right amount of shine on the paint. I bought these chairs for awards and I embroidered the backs and they turned out fantastic!

I purchased this chair for use in my makeup artist studio. I am pleased with the quality of this product. It is sturdy and was easy to put together. This chair does not have a footrest that folds up when you fold up the chair (the footrest is screwed into the legs), so it is best used as a permanent fixture, not one that will be used to go from location to location. I have a separate directors chair with a moveable footrest for that purpose, so please keep that in mind when making your purchase.

I use the director chairs to facilitate workshops. I do demonstrations in front of the room with students. With the chairs we can sit in comfort and other students can see us easily. Up until now it's been difficult to find a durable, easy-to-assemble, portable chair. This one has it all. [...]

These chairs will be used at remote events for local radio station so they will get a lot of use in less than ideal environments. Chairs are sleek and professional looking while still being very functional. Better value than anything else I found online.

Bought this chair for my makeup clients. It arrived and I assembled it in about 5 minutes. Extremely easy. It's comfortable and very attractive. I love it. It was the best deal I was able to find [...]. What a great deal. For somebody who does not like to shop online I am very happy with my new chair.

I purchased these directors chairs and they came before expected delivery date. was well packed in their box and was exactly what I ordered. What you see online as you shop is what you get. Looks the same as it did online. I'm a very pleased that I ordered with hayneedle.

This chair is great for what I was looking for. I am a makeup artist with an at-home studio and the height of this chair will save my back! For me, the only downfall is that I cannot simply fold this up and take it with me; (for weddings or other events) as the footrest is screwed on and the chair will not fold up if attached. However, the overall value of this chair is great especially taking price into consideration.

I teach weekends at two locations. Therefore, after being diagnosed with neuropathy in both legs, my choices for any high chair as an aid in my situation were to buy two (one for each location), or purchase one that we could break down and easily transport. This chair solved my problem. I install the foot board - using my trusty screwdriver and small wrench - when arriving at one location, and then break the chair down to transport to the next location laying nicely in the back seat of my Chevy Malibu. It meets my needs of availability and portability.

I ordered 4 Newport Director chairs and put them together right away. Sadly, the back support on one chair snapped the first time someone sat on it so I'm getting a replacement sent with the hope that this was just a fluke. The chairs look good except the color of the canvas was much different than pictured but red is a hard color to match so I am getting a second set of canvas covers to see if I like black better. These are very attractive and comfortable and I hope they will be durable.

As the manager of a rental stage for film and video productions, we provide amenities for our clients, such directors chairs. The price for 30"" and 18"" chairs through Hayneedle seemed like the deal of the century; the specs fit our bill, so I ordered six standard and six tall chairs. Upon delivery of the chairs, I immediately tired to assemble a tall chair. I was a bit baffled by the footrest--it came separately, and it had a large screw and washer on one end and a drilled hole with an independent metal peg for the other end. The high directors chairs I have used in the past had footrests that were attached on one chair leg and swung free onto an affixed peg or ledge on the other leg. This way, the chairs can be quickly picked up, folded, and stored in an instant. After reading the simple directions, I realized the footrest had to be screwed on (no big deal), but I had to lay the chair on the floor and press my weight against it in order to made the hole and pin match up. Once the pin was in flush with the leg, it could not be removed, therefore preventing the chair from being folded. No storage capability. Fortunately, my handy stage manager had some pins with heads on one end. He drilled out the holes to accommodate the pins, then he attached them to the legs with nylon-coated wire to prevent them from getting lost and to easily pull the pins from the legs. Storage and portability is important, so I probably would not have purchased these had I been aware of the foot rest issue. Otherwise, they are attractive, fairly sturdy, and they are comfortable. The 18"" chair are great--they are solid and comfortable, plus the price is right.
