Your sitting there enjoying booze and conversations with your friends. You've put on a full spread of goodies and all are enjoying the cool breeze of a late night summers evening.
Then... it happens.
The plastic chair you bought from "I wanted to save a buck and didn't know I had an option" breaks under your ponderous yet sexy body mass. You fall to your ass and for a moment are in shear terror. "Are they all laughing at me?", you wonder. As quickly as your ass Mike Tyson'd the concrete your friends come to your aid. Sure they seem to be concerned but the smirks are there. You've just killed another cheap plastic outdoor chair. There has to be a better way you are thinking. Well there is!
You may not know it, but a few places online and many of the actual brick and mortor venues carry plastic, wood, or metal chairs which are much better suited for the svelt food machines we are. Chairs that can handle 300 and even 400 pounds, and they don't really cost that much more than the cheap ones you might normally buy. The problem is they might take a little more time to find. The stores tend not to stock them with as much frequency due to their slightly higher price and weight. And afterall, we're in the minority right? WRONG! Remember we are 66% of the general population! Some stores, more than others, are finally starting to acknowledge that. It's worth it to drive to multiple outlets to see what they have.
Don't just settle for the first plastic chair you see in hopes that it will last a summer. Go online or do the foot work to find the models that can carry our weight. You'll know one instantly when you see it. There are very sturdy, bulky, and will be slightly more expensive (but worth it). I nabbed my particular favorite from "Home Depot".
You'll love it and your fellow friends of sexy bulk will love you for it too, especially when they can sit back, RELAX, sip on their 'ritas, and yap about the latest tasty BBQ joint without fear of falling through another flimsy chair!
