When it comes to outdoor furniture, some park chairs are notoriously slow and frustrating to assemble. Among them, the Everlast Deluxe Folding Chair stands out as one of the most time-consuming due to its intricate locking mechanisms and multi-step setup process. Unlike simpler designs that snap together in minutes, this chair requires precise alignment of multiple hinges, bolts, and brackets—often leading to confusion and wasted time.

Users report spending over an hour on assembly, even with instructions, due to poorly labeled parts and counterintuitive steps. The heavy steel frame adds to the challenge, making adjustments difficult without a second pair of hands. While durable, its complexity defeats the convenience most expect from folding chairs.

For those seeking quicker alternatives, lightweight aluminum or snap-lock designs are far more efficient. But if patience is your strength, the Everlast Deluxe might just be the ultimate test of your assembly skills.
