Vintage aluminum webbed folding lawn chairs, set of 4

Lightweight tubular aluminum chairs with woven webbing, the standard patio seat from the 1960s into the 1980s. Buyers want them for campers, cottages and retro porches; intact webbing and unbent frames decide whether the set sells at all.

Estimated resale range (used)

$30 – $80

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Check the webbing for cracks, fraying and sagging — re-webbing kits exist but buyers factor the cost in.
  • Open and fold each chair to test the hinges and look for bends or crushed tube ends.
  • Look for pitting and white corrosion on the aluminum, and confirm all four chairs match.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
