This Incredibly Versatile Outdoor Chair Transforms Into a Table and It’s Perfect for Small Patios (Bonus: It’s on Sale!)
Anyone with a small patio, balcony, or backyard can tell you that getting smart with the space you have is a key skill. Sure, it would be nice to have decked-out aluminum furniture with a fire pit table and room to spare; however, that’s just not the reality for everyone. This is where dual-purpose outdoor finds become valuable assets. These multipurpose home goods can be hidden in plain sight, and are much more useful than they may seem to the naked eye. They include seating with hidden compartments, tables with hidden coolers, and cabinets that are just as useful for gardeners as they are for grillmasters. QVC is a mandatory stop if you’re looking for innovative home essentials that break away from the norm. There you’ll find the Convert-A-Chair Gen II XL, a seat that creates its own flat surface when you need it most and easily joins the list of small space-friendly outdoor furniture finds.
The Convert-A-Chair isn’t exactly a new concept, but it’s picking up steam now that the weather is warming up and people are looking for comfortable ways to spend time outdoors. An off-shoot from the popular Convert-A-Bench, this transformable chair is a smaller alternative for those who don’t have a ton of space to work indoors or out. Made in the USA, the chair is crafted from a combination of vinyl and resin, requires minimal assembly, and comes in seven colorways (including solids). Its versatility is effectively demonstrated by the chair’s ability to incorporate a table with a flip of its backrest. Two chairs together can form an outdoor picnic table for a pair, but a single unit is just enough to suit one person just fine. “I have two of the larger benches,” says a Convert-A-Chair reviewer who got their first convertible bench ten years ago. “They are easy to clean, so lightweight to move around, and cleverly designed. I just got this chair design, and I wish I would have bought two of them. They are wider than a one-seater and even easier to relocate.” The solid Driftwood seems to be the must-have color for multiple shoppers, but it’s currently sold out. However, there is a Mocha/Driftwood combo that’s the next best thing.
In addition to outdoor spaces, the Convert-A-Chair can be used indoors and QVC shoppers have also mentioned bringing the chairs along on camping trips for additional seating. Small space dwellers have surely felt the pressure of providing seats and tables while entertaining, and the Convert-A-Chair even helps solve that problem since the chair becomes a table in seconds. “Just received two white birch chairs a few days ago and we love them!” says another reviewer. “My husband assembled them in a matter of minutes and we’ve been enjoying sitting on them out on the deck. These chairs, like the benches we got a couple of years ago, are really comfortable, durable, attractive, and the perfect additions to our deck. We cover the benches in the winter and plan to do the same with the chairs, although I’ve read reviews where people leave them out without any issues all year long, even in really cold climates.”
As the Convert-A-Chair is suitable for year-round use, you won’t have to worry too much if you can’t find storage for them in the cold months. Whether you’re drinking hot cocoa in the winter or iced tea in the summer, these chairs have got you covered!
