The Decker folding yacht chair is designed for maximum comfort and style while folding to only four inches thick. Using materials associated with luxury yachts such as stainless steel, brass and teak creates a seaworthy chair that feels at home in the yachting environment. The back of the seat frame serves as a handle when folded. Teak slats are secured to straps that run from the front of the seat to the top of the back. When opened, the unique over-center design provides tension on the straps holding the teak seat and back. The straps produce a seat that flexes and gives with the user.
