Big range of rigid day chairs and sports chairs. I believe I have been in some of their airport and basketball chairs, but not ones of the right size. They tend towards thick / lots of tubing, as I recall?

Compare with other nimble chairs for manoeuverability and tight spaces.

1. Tried

(to date)

1.1. Nimble rigid chairs

• ★★★★‒ Melrose Scorpion: Silky and sturdy.
• ★★★★‒ Melrose Hornet: Tough but tough.
• ★★★★‒ Melrose Hawk Ultra: Not as supportive as a dual‐tube.
