Product Information
Full details
The HAY Backflip Folding Chair is an ideal seating solution for apartment dwellers and hosts who need versatile furniture that transitions seamlessly between daily use and space-saving storage. Designed by Gudmundur Ludvik, this chair combines a robust solid wood frame with an ergonomic moulded plywood backrest to ensure both durability and comfort. While it offers unmatched convenience through its unique one-handed folding mechanism, users should note that as a folding chair, its weight capacity and structural feel differ from permanent, non-folding solid wood dining chairs.

FAQs
Can the HAY Backflip Folding Chair be used outdoors?
No, this chair is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme weather can damage the wood finish and hinge mechanism.
What are the dimensions of the chair?
The chair measures 48 cm in length, 53.5 cm in depth, and 78 cm in height, with a seat height of 46 cm.
Does it require assembly?
No, the chair is delivered fully assembled and ready to use.
Is the folding mechanism safe for children?
The chair is a piece of furniture for adults. While it is stable, the moving parts of the folding mechanism should be operated by adults to avoid pinching fingers.
How do I maintain the wood surface?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid excessive water and harsh detergents.
Troubleshooting
The chair feels stiff when trying to fold it.
Ensure the hinge mechanism is clear of any debris or dust. Do not force the fold; gently guide it to allow the internal mechanism to engage.
The chair wobbles on the floor.
Check that all four legs are on a completely level surface. If the issue persists, inspect the frame for any loose screws that may have occurred over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The chair comes fully assembled and requires no tools for setup. To unfold, grip the backrest and guide the hinge until the seat locks into place. For compatibility, the chair works best on flat, level surfaces to maintain the integrity of the hinge. To keep the chair in optimal condition, wipe the wood surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could strip the finish. Because the construction involves solid wood and plywood, it is recommended to keep the chair in a climate-controlled indoor environment to prevent the wood from warping or cracking due to excessive humidity or heat fluctuations.
