How to Fold a Butterfly Chair

Butterfly chairs are portable chairs used used to sit and relax in while outside. There are many different styles and varieties of butterfly chairs, but all of them operate in pretty much the same way. To open one, you simply take it out of the casing, set it on flat ground, and push on frame supports on the right and left sides of the chair. Folding it up is just as easy.

Things You'll Need

• Butterfly chair
• Case

Instructions

1. Start with the chair open on a flat surface.

2. Stand, facing the chair, and put your fingers under the front right and left corners.

3. Pull up on the corners while pushing them toward the center of the chair. If you meet any resistance, check that the crossbeams directly in front of your shins are not in the "lock" position by lightly hitting the underside of the crossbeams with your foot.

4. Continue pushing up and in until the chair is fully folded. Then slide the chair into its case for transportation or storage.
