I have a director’s chair I bought ~30 years ago, when I needed chairs and they were cheap at Pier One. The wood was looking dry so put mineral oil on it … and realized it still had playa dust on it from #BurningMan EIGHT years ago. The canvas is fine (tiny mold spot in one spot from all the rain), the wood frame is fine, and it folds up to slightly larger than today’s camp chairs — which rarely last that long with the same amount of abuse. I’m basically Team Wood and Canvas forever.
@jonobie I miss Pier One! they had some quality stuff. We have a set of those director's chairs in storage, too, and they are still solid as the day we bought them.
