I was able to score some after grandpa died a few years ago. I don't know how old these things are, but most of them still have plenty of life left in them and are better chairs than most of the crap out there today. I do have one that took a dive on us this summer, I am going to have to either repair it or replace it, but I don't know if that is even possible.

We used to have tons, but they eventually fell apart and were trashed. Never knew there would be a shortage of them.

You can keep 'em. I much prefer what's on the market now.
But, if you got the cash, and like retro: http://www.amazon.com/Plodes-RECH-reDO-Lawn-Chair/dp/B001WPJTO0

Most were thrown out when the webbing was damaged, and people have kinda wanted a more comfortible chair since they were invented.

FWIW, might this work out for you - or maybe it sits too low?

Surf around the sight, though - their stuff is overall far superior to most of the throwaway copies now sold everywhere. |

Being satisfied with the quality of the chairs we were making, Lawn Chair USA was created. In the past few months since making the chairs, people from all over the country have bought the chairs and are happy with the quality and the fact that they are Proudly Made in the USA. Even our Canadian customers! ALUMINUM WEBBED LAWN CHAIRS

I can't believe no one has suggested garage sales yet. That is the best place to find them.

I searched for them a couple years ago and found them in the Ace hardware catalog. Not sure if they are still there. Oh well, powder coated steal now.

I like the story - the company was the proverbial buggy whip manufacturer which, instead of blaming Obama or Bush, actually realized there was still a market for buggies - but they would have to make them themselves. |

I need to find a few frames. I always thought webbed lawnchairs were some of the most comfortable chairs made-indoor or outdoor. |
