G'day Sue,

It's hard to know just based on what you've described.  If the chipping & subsequent rust is due to damage in use, eg, frames has knocked and chipped, and chairs have rusted at that point after getting wet, it wouldn't be covered
If you think there's quality issues with the power coating of the frame from manufacturing, I'd recommend heading to our Warranty Page to fill out a claim.
The team can take a look and get back to you!

G'day Steven,

it is just a little over 50 cm from pole to pole.

G'day Grant,

It doesn't quite work out.  The chair doesn't pack down with one completely flat side so when there's two together, even top and tailed it's not a neat tetris fit.  I'd probably want a space of around 35-40cm so the chair frames can just sit naturally and they don't have to be squashed down to fit in a tight or very close fitting space.
As with all measurements and discrepancies between measuring implements, we recommend allowing for 2-3cm buffer in any physical space you have at home with online dimensions.

G'day Sue,

Maybe someone else can chime in here with their experience, but generally these chairs have great reviews from people who find them quite supportive.
I've just tried sitting in our display chair instore, it seems alright to me but if you try to lean back/lounge in it it becomes abit uncomfortable. Ideally, directors chairs are for sitting more upright than lounging, so that may be the issue.
It also may be something that could improve with time, but sounds like these chairs may not be the right style for you.

G'day Peter,

The armrests on this chair are 66cm high.  I've tested this against the Coleman 4 foot folding table, which is essentially the same as the Oztrail Ironside, and it fits no trouble.
The only consideration is that the side table cannot be folded away separately from the chair itself, so the width may be a contributing factor when looking at compatible tables.
The table I mentioned above can fit one chair per side.
Hope that helps.

G'day Carmen,

The Black Wolf COmpact Directors Chairs only come with a right-hand side table, and they are not interchangeable.
The only directors style chair we sell with a flexible side table option is the OZTent Gecko Directors Chair.
Hope that helps!

G'day David,

I've had a go of this myself in store, and I found that you can't fold the side table on the Black Wolf Compact Director's Chair down while it's in use. 

However we do have a few models in the same style that have side tables that fold away, so you may want to check out the Coleman Director's Chair Plus Side Table, or the Primus Wave Arm Chair with Table. 

Thanks Gerald, this has changed since the original response in 2016
We'll get that updated in the specifications now.
