When it comes to summer parties, one of the most common problems that arises is making sure there’s enough seating for everyone. Although you can of course cobble together a selection of dining chairs, foot stools and desk chairs, or pick up some affordable camping chairs for a last minute seating solution, it still leaves you with the problem of where to store everything once the party is over.
However, Amazon has just launched its very own version of the chic foldable paper chairs which fold down to just three centimeters wide. The HKDJ-Folding Paper Stool, £42 here, expand into a round stool that’s perfect for sitting on, before concertinaing back into a single piece of cardboard.
The stool is able to bear a load of up to 300kg, making it perfectly safe to sit or stand on, and measures 28cm high which is the ideal height for sitting on. When fully expended it measures 32cm wide, giving you plenty of room to sit on, and when folded back up it measures just 16cm wide, 3cm deep and 28cm high.
It’s made from a sturdy kraft paper material, making it environmentally friendly, and the two ends are held together with a strong magnet to stop it from popping open whilst in use. The honeycomb structure helps make it super sturdy and supportive and gives it a chic, minimalist feel whilst also allowing it to fold back to its flat state in seconds with minimal effort.
Despite being made from kraft paper the stool is still completely waterproof, making it perfect for unpredictable UK weather or unexpected spillages. It has a protective waterproof membrane which allows water to flow away, and any residual liquids can be dried with a towel and air dried.
If you’re worried about how comfortable it is to sit on, it also has a curved edge that doesn’t press on your thigh nerve, and you can add a simple cushion to the top to not only add to the comfort but to help preseve the stool’s life span and stop indentations. You can also pick from four different colours, with red, black, white or brown options available.
For more options, including tables and benches, you can also shop foldable paper furniture from brand Paper Lounge, which is regarded as one of the original creators of the space-saving design. There’s a whole host of different colours, styles and designs to pick from, making them ideal for your summer get togethers.
