The director's chair is SOOOOOOOOOO comfy. In fact, it's the most comfortable folding chair I've sat in. It has a bit of spring to it and excellent support, and is extra roomy.
It has a built-in side table that is super sturdy and a good place to set my camera while changing tapes or batteries. It's also large enough to hold a clipboard flat. And it has a fancy "cargo" panel on the side with zippered pouches of various sizes.
Best $40 ever.
