According to some embodiments, a folding chair comprises a first frame element, a second frame element, wherein the first frame element moves from a first position remote from the second frame element to a second position toward, adjacent to or against the second frame element, and a cradle comprising a guide member that guides the first frame element into the cradle.

A portable chair may include a first front leg and a second front leg connected by a front sled and a first back leg and a second back leg connected by a back sled. The first front leg and the first back leg may be pivotally connected to a sliding pivot on an armrest, where the sliding pivot moves relative to the armrest to adjust the chair from an upright position to a reclined position. The seat assembly may include a fabric member that is attached secured to a seat frame by a plurality of fabric retention members. In some examples, the portable chair may include a fabric member is releasably connected to the seat frame and back frame and also extends from a forward rail of the seat frame to a top rail of the back frame.

According to some embodiments, a folding chair comprises a first frame element, a second frame element, wherein the first frame element moves from a first position remote from the second frame element to a second position toward, adjacent to or against the second frame element, and a cradle comprising a guide member that guides the first frame element into the cradle.

A folding chair with multiple modes may include a first frame and a second frame rotatably connected by a joint assembly, a first support arranged in the first frame and a second support arranged in the second frame and six legs. The six legs may include a first pair of legs rotatably attached to the second frame, a second pair of legs rotatably attached to the first frame (e.g., via another joint assembly), and a third pair of legs rotatably attached to the second frame. The folding chair may further include a pair of armrests rotatably attached to the joint assembly. The multiple modes of the folding chair may include a first mode wherein the folding chair is configured as a dining chair, a second mode wherein the folding chair is configured as a lounging chair and a third mode wherein the folding chair is configured for compact storage.
