I've wanted to redo the milking stool style into a dining table style, just increasing the size of everything. So that the back goes up like 5 feet or so. It would look sooo cool. Someone will now swipe my idea and make millions.

Corner chairs are GREAT. Use a pair with a slightly taller table between them, to face a sofa. Then that pair of people can either talk to the sofa people, or turn to face each other and perhaps play a game on the table between them.

Also swell for using with a small cafe table to dine in a studio apartment. You can dine. Or you can turn to face the rest of the room. Woo hoo!

The contured seat stool. Okay, which sex supposedly has that dent in their body? I can't imagine that being particularly comfortable for either group. Unless it vibrated. I mean, you aren't going to fall off, with the butt-cradle edges. You'll slide around if you have a smaller bum, and if it's larger, those edges will not be comfortable.

They should make custom-bum seating. Where they take a mold of your own bum and can then provide the proper proportions.

And the last chair. It's the one that brought me in to post. Because I started laughing. Because I read it as being a chair that could be used for sitting at the beach, or a chair that could be used for throwing into the water to catch fish or crustaceans in that little opening under the seat. You said "folding chair for beach or fishing". So I wanted to fish with it.
